For example, I decided I wanted my business cards in Evernote, my documents (MS Word and PDF files) in Dropbox and my photos in Google Photos. You can choose where images should be saved depending upon their category. Scanned files are classified into four categories: documents, receipts, business cards and photos. But you’ll only have to do that once after it’s been set up, ScanSnap will be able to store files using your other accounts without any further action on your part. If you use one of the other storage services, you’ll need to give the ScanSnap app permission to access your account. ScanSnap has teamed up with several major cloud-based storage apps including Dropbox, Evernote, Google Photos, Google Drive, Expensify and One Drive, so you’ll have plenty of options. Here’s how it works:Īfter downloading the ScanSnap Cloud software to your computer – I put it on both my MacBook Air and my (ancient) iMac – you can go to the app’s Preferences tab, choose Settings and indicate where you want each type of output file to be saved “automagically.” You can use ScanSnap’s own cloud-based service to store your files, or you can send them to another cloud-based account that you already have. This great new app enables you to scan documents, receipts, business cards and photos using one of Fujitsu’s two wireless scanners, the iX100 or the iX500, without the scanner being connected to (or anywhere near!) a computer. Naturally I was very excited to hear that I would get a chance to test drive Fujitsu’s latest offering, ScanSnap Cloud.

I have pretty much used every scanner they make, and I often take my iX100 mobile scanner with me when I have tech organizing appointments.

My regular readers know how enthusiastic I am about using Fujitsu’s amazing ScanSnap series of scanners.
