What Tailride - invoice downloader does

Tailride Chrome Extension allows you to automatically fetch invoices from your portals like Amazon, Adobe, Google Ads, ... and many more (including your private ones). Our extension organizes your invoices in Google Drive or OneDrive, sending them to the Tailride account or your local storage. We're regularly adding new portals. You can also automate unsupported portals yourself using our interactive guide and AI assistant, so all your invoices are collected by our extension. Core Features * Automated Fetching: Tailride navigates to the billing sections of your vendors and marketplaces to extract invoices or receipts without manually opening pages and downloading. * Centralized Management: keep all documents from various sources in one dashboard or save them to cloud storage or your computer. * Privacy-Focused: We don't save your passwords or any personal data.
