ScanSnap Cloud

Takes paper directly to your cloud

Your Scan. Your Cloud

Amongst the growing family of options, ScanSnap Cloud currently supports Box, Dropbox, Evernote, Expensify, Google Drive, Google Photos, OneDrive, Shoeboxed, Concur Expense and QuickBooks Online.

ScanSnap Cloud introduces a new, productive way of scanning documents directly to your cloud. With your ScanSnap iX500 or iX100 and ScanSnap Cloud, there is no need to be connected to a desktop or mobile device. Simply press "Scan".

ScanSnap Cloud is smart - it classifies and sorts your paper or plastic card input and sends it to the right cloud space. Documents, receipts, business cards and photos are delivered directly to the cloud service you use.

  • Scan receipts and financial documents into Expensify or Shoeboxed and your accountant can access them straightaway
  • Scan meeting notes and business cards to Evernote while you're on the road, so your team are up-to-date in the office
  • Scan pictures, sketches and drawings to Google Photos or DropBox to instantly share with colleagues or family
  • ScanSnap Cloud processes and routes your paper content automatically – no need to change anything

What is ScanSnap Cloud?

ScanSnap Cloud should not be confused with cloud storage systems, but it complements those services. It's an innovative cloud based image processor and enhancement tool paired with the intelligence to classify scanned input into four essential types of content as document, photo, business card and receipt, routing each type into different, dedicated cloud services.

 

ScanSnap Cloud simply works

Once set up and configured, you can route everything into one single cloud space. Your ScanSnap iX500 or iX100 is connected to your WiFi router or mobile access point, which in turn is connected to the internet. Insert a set of documents into the scanner’s automatic document feeder (ADF) and off goes the data stream directly into ScanSnap Cloud. ScanSnap talks to ScanSnap Cloud and hands over the new stack of data. ScanSnap Cloud now intelligently identifies the type of content within the stack and routes everything either into dedicated individual cloud services or into one and the same 3rd party cloud service that you use for everything, but if you wish, into different folders.

Getting Started - 3 Steps to ScanSnap Cloud

Three steps and you're ready to use ScanSnap Cloud:

1. Download the App

First, download and install the mobile app or the small application for Windows and Mac devices.

2. Now connect your ScanSnap iX500 or iX100 and create your ScanSnap Cloud account

Launch the installation routine and you'll be guided through setting up your ScanSnap iX500 or iX100 to directly connect to your WiFi network, which can be your local WiFi router or even your mobile phone access point. You’ll be prompted to create your ScanSnap Cloud account.

3. Tell ScanSnap Cloud where to send your scans

Decide where your documents, business cards, receipts and photos should be sent to after ScanSnap Cloud has enhanced the images and classified the content.

You can have ScanSnap Cloud automatically name content identified as ‘document’. ScanSnap Cloud supports automatic file naming by extracting text from document headlines and adding date and time information.
