I am confused. Can you then add the document (ie link) to the Paper Tiger database?
If not, how does the program "integrate" with google desktop?
The Google Desktop allows you to search your digital files from The Paper Tiger interface. This allows you to keep track of your physical files through The Paper Tiger, and manage your digital files with the indexing power of Google Desktop.
If you want to manage your electronic files, you can always set up a "Virtual" file cabinet consisting of folders in Windows, and then set up a location in PT to keep track of the files within that certain folder. In the end, it ends up being a system of folders, with the topmost level being the "location", and folders within that location with numbers, such as folder 1, folder 2, etc. containing your digital files. Let me know if this is clear enough for you!
