Documents stored only on your phone are vulnerable. Lost phone, stolen device, accidental deletion, software corruption—any of these can wipe out years of important records instantly.
Cloud backup creates an automatic safety net. Every scan uploads to secure servers moments after capture. If something happens to your phone, your documents remain safe and accessible from any device.
Beyond protection, cloud storage enables access from anywhere. Pull up a contract on your laptop, check a receipt from your tablet, share a scan with colleagues—all without touching your phone.
