Add your owndocuments too.
Your mailbox can also hold files you add yourself, such as a birth certificate, passport page, or an older contract. Keep them beside items an organisation sent through Keepable, then organise both into folders.
Birth certificates · passport pages · certificates · title documents · old contracts

Photograph it and it is in
A photo, a scan, a PDF, straight from the phone in your hand. The paper in the drawer at home is one picture away from being somewhere it cannot burn, flood or be borrowed and not returned.

File
Folders, because a long list is not an archive
Group what belongs together and give the folder a name and a symbol. Official letters and your own uploads sit side by side in it, which is how you actually think about your papers.

The request that used to take a week
Six months of payslips, three years of statements, the certificate the school wants. It is one folder you open and send, not an afternoon of digging through apps and asking people to resend things.
A photograph of a document on a phone is not a document.
- What you can add
- A PDF, a photo or a scan, up to 20 MB, from your phone or your computer.
- What we strip
- The GPS in a photograph and the author and software details buried in a PDF, before it is stored.
- What stays yours
- Download the lot whenever you like, or close the account and take it with you.
The detail
- What can I put in, and how big?
- PDFs, photographs and scans, up to 20 MB each. The paper in the drawer at home is one picture away from being somewhere it cannot burn, flood, or be borrowed and not returned.
- You said you strip things. What exactly?
- A photograph taken at home usually carries the location it was taken in, to within a few metres, which is your address. A PDF out of a word processor usually carries the author's real full name, the software, the dates, and with some programs the entire folder path on the machine that made it. All of that is removed before the file is stored, on every route in: the app, the website, and both phones.
- Is there anything you cannot strip?
- Three cases, and each one is recorded against the document rather than glossed over. A PDF that already carries a digital signature is left alone, because rewriting it would break the signature and we will not trade a contract's evidentiary value for a software name. A file that is password-protected or too damaged to read cannot be rewritten either. And a GIF is left alone, because no camera makes one and there is nothing in it to leak.
- How is my own upload different from a letter my bank sent?
- Both are sealed, so both can be proved unchanged since they arrived. Only one carries a sender. We can prove nobody has altered your passport page since you put it here; we cannot prove where you got it, because we were not there. The document says which kind it is, so neither you nor anybody you send it to has to guess.
- How do folders work?
- You name one and give it a symbol, and it holds both kinds of paper side by side: the payslips your employer sent and the passport page you photographed. Each shows how much is in it, so "six months of payslips" for an embassy is a folder you open rather than an afternoon of digging.
- Can I get it all back out?
- Yes, whenever, without asking anybody. Download everything, or close the account and take the lot with you.
The limit
Something you upload yourself is yours, and it is not the same thing as a letter from your bank. Keepable can prove that nobody has changed it since you put it here. It cannot prove where you got it, because we were not there when you did. The difference is shown on the document itself, so you never have to guess which kind you are holding, and neither does anybody you send it to.
