Add SlipInbox to your home screen

  • On Android, open SlipInbox in Chrome, open the browser menu, then choose Install app or Add to Home screen.
On Android, press and hold the SlipInbox icon and choose Add receipt to go straight to the camera and your files.

Share from another app

Once SlipInbox is on an Android home screen, it also appears when you share photos or PDFs from another app, such as your gallery or your email.

  1. Select the photos or PDFs, press Share and choose SlipInbox.

  2. SlipInbox opens Add receipts with the files already in the list. Press Add.

Files that can’t be added are listed under Left out with the reason, such as a file that is not a photo or PDF, is too large, or goes over the limit of 10. If you see That share didn’t come through. Share the files again., share them once more; this can happen the first time after you add SlipInbox to your home screen.

iPhones don’t offer apps added from the browser in the Share menu. Use Choose files instead; see Upload receipt photos and PDFs.
