Fujitsu Introduces ScanSnap Sync

Business hardware provider Fujitsu, well-known for its scanners and other devices, has introduced ScanSnap Sync, making it easier for ScanSnap scanner customers to access and manage their scanned documents across multiple devices.

When scanning to an iOS or Android mobile device with the “ScanSnap Connect” app or launching ScanSnap Organizer on a PC or Mac, documents are automatically synchronized with supported cloud services, utilizing the ScanSnap Sync application. Customers can then make edits to the documents and those changes are synchronized back to the mobile device when stored in the preconfigured ScanSnap Sync folder.

ScanSnap Sync is available now, via a free online update, and is compatible with the entire award-winning ScanSnap scanner lineup, including the ScanSnap iX500, iX100, SV600, S1300i and S1100i. With ScanSnap Sync customers are able to:

Enhance the overall ‘organization’ of scanned content between systems: Documents scanned to a mobile device via the ScanSnap Connect app or to a PC or Mac and placed in the preconfigured ScanSnap Sync folder can be managed across multiple devices and computers. Any changes made to the documents are then synchronized across them all.
Leverage popular cloud services to store, access and manage content: Documents are automatically scanned directly to supported cloud services including Dropbox, Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive.
Conveniently ‘back-up’ scanned data stored on a mobile device: When documents are scanned to a mobile device with the “ScanSnap Connect” app they are synchronized and secured with your preferred cloud service and accessible anytime, anywhere.
Make scanned PDF content ‘searchable’ on a mobile device: A document scanned using a mobile device and synchronized to a preconfigured cloud service will automatically download to a Mac or PC when ScanSnap Organizer is launched. The PDF file is conveniently converted to a searchable PDF by ScanSnap Organizer and synchronized across the mobile device and cloud service.
