How can I connect fileee with GoogleMail?

With fileee you have a platform where you can collect all documents and receipts in one place. To make this process as easy as possible, there are many cloud services you can connect to fileee to import documents automatically. This includes GoogleMail. Once connected, the PDF documents attached to your e-mails are automatically imported to fileee.

Unfortunately, you can only connect fileee and Gmail via a small detour at the moment. We are sorry about that! We know how important these services are for the work with fileee. Here you can learn more about this topic.

To establish a connection between fileee and GoogleMail anyway, follow these steps:

1. Open your Google Account settings at https://myaccount.google.com/security

3. Open your Gmail settings at https://mail.google.com/mail/u/1/#settings/fwdandpop
