Bulk Upload into Veryfi using Dropbox, Box or Google Drive

    If you have photos of your receipts, bills or invoices stored in digital format (your cloud storage provider like Dropbox then Veryfi can slurp them up fast. No need to manually upload each one. Let Veryfi do the heavy lifting.

    Still storing records of your business financial transactions as photos on your phone, computer or in the cloud?

    Want to take advantage of the processing power of Veryfi to extract all the data points (also known as OCR) and then categorize and file them into the right tax codes?

    Time poor? Don’t want to upload each picture manually?

    If you said YES to these questions then Veryfi has a solution for you. It’s called “Veryfi Reverse Cloud Sync”. Veryfi will devour all your digital receipts, bills and/or invoices for processing into Veryfi. This process takes anywhere from 2-3 hours so please be patient.

    What will happen

    Our automated robots pull your receipt photos and documents out of those Cloud providers and push them directly into Veryfi mobile app. Think of this like the opposite to our Connected Apps where we push data out to those cloud storage providers.

    Setup

    The following example with screenshots is using Dropbox. However you can also do the same using with Box or Google Drive cloud storage.

    1. Inside Veryfi Hub, connect Dropbox to your Veryfi account: https://hub.veryfi.com/connected-apps/ (you can use a FREE Dropbox account for this too)

    2. Once connected, you will see an “Veryfi Documents” folder inside your Dropbox Apps folder.

    Note the “Veryfi Documents” folder. If you have a different folder name then you can simply rename it to “Veryfi Documents” inside Dropbox.

    And also another one under “Veryfi Documents” called “Upload” folder. The former is your documents Backup folder and the latter where you drop documents into for uploads.

    3. Finally, drop a document for upload into your /Apps/Veryfi Documents/Upload/ folder and come back in 2-3 hours. It will be gone from the folder. When it’s gone it means it’s processed and available inside Veryfi under https://hub.veryfi.com/documents/ and mobile app.

    When empty it means nothing to process or already processed. Check Veryfi Documents hub or mobile for the extracted and processed document.

    You are now done. Woohoo!
