Export options include Dropbox, Box, Google Drive, OneDrive, Evernote, WebDAV, FTP, and others. Genius Cloud offers unlimited cloud storage, backup, syncing, storage savings, and web access. Automatic export can run in the background and route documents according to rules. Ultra costs $39.99 a year.
