Tag My Doc (Beta) is a time-saving web service that uses QR Codes to share documents. Tag My Doc has a basic free service (and a few paid plans) that enables you to share your documents in real time with anyone and everyone who is interested in it. It is a huge time-saver because it saves you from emailing people individually.
The concept is simple. Tag My Doc takes your uploaded document and embeds a QR Code on your document. You can share the document (i.e. the virtual copy) with your intended recipients either through the website, your own smartphone, or even via a link. The recipient scans the QR Code with his mobile phone and receives a digital copy of the document on his device. This video tour illustrates the process.
The advantages of Tag My Doc are threefold:
- You can carry around a virtual copy of the document on your mobile device. There’s no need to keep a hard copy or even a local soft copy of the document.
- You do not need to individually email any interested parties. You can show them the QR Code to download the document to their devices.
- Even the free Basic plan allows you document management features with the help of a document manager. The Document Manager enables you to delete documents, make changes and store them all in one secure folder for easier management. You can even password protect a sensitive document.
The Basic plan is free and it allows you secure cloud storage of 1 GB and unlimited distribution. File size cannot exceed 1 GB per document and supported file types are – jpg, tiff, png, bmp, doc, docx, ppt, pptx and pdf. Read more about the features of the different plans. Try out Tag My Doc.
