Scanning from Raven Original, Pro, & Pro Max Scanners to pCloud

pCloud  is a third-party cloud service that allows users to store their documents. While Raven does not have a direct connection to the platform, you can follow the steps below to scan via SMB into your pcloud.com account. Note that your computer will need to be online and on the same network as the scanner in order to implement the approach below. Alternatively, you can scan to pCloud using Raven Desktop.

Follow the steps below to add pcloud.com as a destination.
