CloudScan – Scan Documents Remotely & Save To Google Docs As PDF File

CloudScan is a cloud based scanner sharing application which allows you to remotely scan documents and photos in PDF file. It can be particularly helpful for people who require working on numerous computers at home or office and wish to easily share their single scanner with other computers.

CloudScan works on your local or wireless network only. Once you run it from the developer’s website, it will automatically search your network for the PC where CloudScan is installed (the one where the Scanner is connected) and redirect you to the scanning page. Normally, the IP of the scanner on the network will be automatically detected, in case it is not identified, you can enter the IP Address of the PC manually after clicking on Settings.

Once done, you can optionally change the scan resolution from Scan tab.

Click Scan to start the scanning process. This will scan the document present in the remote scanner and provide a completion prompt when the scan is completed.

The slider at the bottom of the interface can be used to zoom in or zoom out the scanned document. If you have multiple scanners connected to the PC, select the default scanner from the drop down box. You can save the scanned document in PDF or TIFF format or to Google Docs account from the Save button.
