it's so easy but... doesn't work well with thin papers. I love neat desk. It works much better. Neatconnect is best for who doesn't have computer at the moment scanning.

That was the easy part for me. The scan worked well, but the retrieval of it for filing is slow slow slow. Honestly, I have gone back to my Epson GT-S50 - its fast and I scan to my gmail drive so it puts it in the cloud. I do have the small NeatConnect scanner and I like that for travel, but the NeatConnect - I would save your money

Its pretty easy once you get your cloud accounts entered into the device. A stylus helps.

It was easy but not it is now IMPOSSIBLE to upload to the Evernote Cloud. Neat fraudulently advertises compatibility with Evernote but for over 2 months they have been to lazy to keep the almost $500 scanner software up to date so that it is compatible. It is incompatible with Evernote at the time of writting and neat is the kind of company that will NOT honor their 1yr warranty on a defective unit. I should have bought the Fujitsu.

I have found it is very easy. When scanning to email sometimes the file is too big but to the cloud and then to email it will be fine.

Yes It is a personal cloud. You can store any type of file. But the biggest advantage is with multimedia files.

There is no software program that comes with this device. It's just something you plug into your machine's and/or your computer's USB port. It works the same as an external storage device that allows your machine and computer to see and utilize the digitized files on it. You need an additional editing software program of some sort to be able to read and print any of the files. One of the Buzz Tools programs which are far less pricey than full blown editing programs could can do the job. Hope this helps.

Limited to scanning 8 1/2 x 11 at a time. I think Can be saved as PDF. Haven't done much with it yet.

I just finished transferring all of my photos to digital copies and am very happy with it. It does take a little getting to know the driver and settings since it defaults to quick scan for ID copies in business environments.

Yes. The scanning function works really well for multiple and 2-sided documents scanned to a single file.

Scanning documents is easy. The thing eats batteries and is a pain if there are staples in the documents or if you are trying to scan a book. The file sizes are BIG even if you choose small ones. I've had to get apps to shrink them if I am going to save them, even as .pdfs. Over all, I love the scanner because it saves me a huge amount of time.

Yes you can. You just need to set that up on the scan options on your computer. I have done this with PDF format, but not sure if it works for other file formats.

I haven't tried, but I don't know why you couldn't. I've scanned to both my hard drive and the "cloud". During the scan process you're asked where you want to store the file. I'm sure a flash drive would show as a choice. Hope this helps.

Yes. I do it all the time. Just scanned in an 8 page document last night. That has more to do with software than the hardware and the software that comes with the scanner works well.

Very easy to use. My computer recognized it and got it ready to use automatically. It shows up labeled something like "buffalo hard disk drive". I opened it up and just started creating folders. Then i went to my computer and dragged and drppoed them where i wanted.

Yes you can. It's very easy and has multiple options for different needs. I use the most basic feature that allows me to scan an entire page and save it to my desktop wirelessly.

No it is 1 to 1 copy no software is required. There are plenty of options the will clone a drive that is is a computer. This device is I little quirky but once you figure the sequence out it is very straight forward

Yes, I just did it a few minutes ago. The file was 7.67gb, took about 2 minutes and 40 seconds to copy. I got mine for $39.99 before Christmas, wish I had bought a couple more! Great and fast drive!

The only way I have used it is to do the scan, then attach the scanner to the computer via USB and drag and drop the JPG or PDF to the computer to open the document. I've been very satisfied all aspects of the scanner. Because I work out of town a lot and scan large blueprints and maps, I purchased a 32GB memory card as insurance. Max Schnepf at maxks1@cox.net

It is very simple, but not quite that simple. I have absolutely zero computer skills and I did it. If you follow the step by step instructions you should be fine.

So far so good. I have a mac so they didn't send a cd to download, only for windows. I had to call and do it on line with a rep which was unusual but worked. I haven't used it a lot yet so not sure about everything. I have been using the scanner and regular copier and that works good. For the price I don't think you can go wrong. Hope this helps! Karla
