I work for a large multi national and they won’t let me download the remarkable app which is fairly obvious. But what is the best way to:

  1. Import PDFs to the remarkable without the desktop app? Generally these will be market research docs, articles, nothing sensitive
  2. Export notes or at least view notes on my laptop? Generally will be diagrams, general notes or annotated PDFs

My work have OneDrive but not sure if the integration by default would work.

What is the best way to make it as productive as possible? Also, anyone know a way of screenshots without the desktop App?

    The computer thinks it’s a USB ethernet adapter. The reMarkable tablet runs a DHCP server and, when you plug in the cable, it assigns a 10.11.99.x IP to that interface on your computer.

    Be careful with third-party integrations. They work by storing a copy of your credentials for (google, dropbox, or microsoft) in reMarkable’s cloud servers. The tablets don’t talk directly to those services, they only talk to reMarkable’s cloud servers, and those talk to the outside services.

    If you think your large corporation doesn’t like non-encrypted USB sticks, they’re really not going to like you handing your username and password to an outside company like that.

      That’s a very good point I never considered.

      Thanks for the info on how the USB connection works. It’s close to how I assumed it worked but I wasn’t confident enough to answer!
