A method for storing information items from a client device to a remote server is performed at the client device having memory and one or more processors, the remote server being communicatively coupled to the client device. The client device renders an information item and an information storing option associated with the information item using a first application at the client device. Upon detecting a user selection of the information storing option, the client device invokes a second application, which may or may not run on the client device, to upload data associated with the information item rendered on the client device to the remote server and then resumes the rendition of the information item using the first application at the client device.
