To use ScanSnap Cloud, you must sign in to a ScanSnap account.
For regions where ScanSnap accounts can be used, refer to here.
For details about a cloud service that you can establish a link with, refer to the following:
An image of the document that you scanned is saved in a desired cloud service via the ScanSnap Cloud server. The ScanSnap Cloud server is a cloud server used exclusively with the ScanSnap.
The ScanSnap and the ScanSnap Cloud server can be connected with each other via Wi-Fi. So, you can scan documents and save images with the ScanSnap alone. You do not need to start up a computer.
To use ScanSnap Cloud, you must sign in to a ScanSnap account in advance.
However, when you establish a link with a cloud service from the Quick Menu, you do not need to sign in to the ScanSnap account.
