Using the Companion App and Web App
Once your Montblanc Digital Paper is connected to the Montblanc Cloud, you can access your documents from anywhere using the Companion App (mobile) or Web App (desktop). This article explains how to use both platforms to view, upload, and download files, so your ideas stay with you wherever you go.
What you can do in the Companion and Web App
After logging in with your Montblanc Cloud Account, you can:
- View your synced files
- Upload supported documents (PDFs, eBooks) to your device
- Download notebooks and PDFs with annotations from your device
- Check cloud storage usage
Note: You cannot edit files from the Companion or Web App; all edits must be made on Digital Paper.
Uploading files to your Digital Paper
You can upload supported files (PDFs and eBooks only) via the app:
- Open the Companion App and sign in with your Montblanc Cloud credentials
- Tap the upload icon
- Choose one or multiple supported files from your phone or computer
- The file(s) will appear on your Digital Paper shortly after upload
You can also add files directly from other apps or your device's file manager using the Share function. Select the file or files you want to add and choose the Montblanc Digital Paper Companion App as the destination.
In the Web App:
- Open the Web App and sign in with your Montblanc Cloud credentials.
- Either click the upload icon and select one or multiple supported files, or drag and drop files directly into the Web App.
- The files will appear on your Digital Paper shortly after upload.
Note: Files must be under 100 MB and will be scanned for viruses before upload.
Downloading files from your device
From the Companion or Web App, you are also able to download your documents, including annotations, directly to your external device. Please note:
- Notebooks and PDFs are downloaded as PDF files, including your handwritten notes
- eBooks cannot be exported as PDFs and are downloaded in their original format
To download a file:
- Open the file preview in the app
- Tap or click the download icon
- The file is saved locally on your device
Storage overview
Digital Paper provides you with free access to 1GB of Cloud storage. Please note that Cloud storage info is only available from the Companion or Web app. To view your current Cloud storage usage:
- In the Companion App, go to Settings > General
- In the Web App, the info is displayed on the home screen
You’ll see how much of your 1GB cloud storage is used and which file types are taking up the most space.
What happens if your Cloud storage is full?
When your 1 GB is full:
- The most recently opened or edited files stay synced in the Cloud.
- Older files are removed from the Cloud but remain safely stored on your Digital Paper.
- Files added via USB only sync to the Cloud after being opened and edited.
Sync status
Your app will reflect the most up-to-date version of any document edited on your Digital Paper, as long as:
- The device is connected to the internet
- The Montblanc Cloud is actively synced
Check the Cloud icon on your device’s home screen to confirm sync activity.
