The first decision you need to make is where you want FileThis Fetch to store the documents it collects for you. Options include your computer, Evernote, Dropbox and other cloud storage services to come later. If you opt for your computer, remember that your files are only as secure as your computer. Make sure your computer is not accessible to the public and that it is backed up regularly. If you opt for storing files in your Evernote or other cloud storage account, your files are stored on the cloud and continually backed up.

To get started, click the Destination tab at the top of the main FileThis Fetch window.
