Scan file upload directly in SharePoint 2010.

Hi, I have requirement that when anyone scan file from printer or scanner that scanned file should be uploaded directly to SharePoint 2010 library.

So is there any webpart or any free tool available.

If anyone has any solution.

This isn't solved on the SharePoint side, usually it's at the scanner. Most of the major scanner/printer vendors have a SharePoint connector that allows scanning directly to Document Libraries.

Hi Prakash,

You need to configured your printer or scannner

So there are third party software were see the below link

We use Kofax software in our projects for document scanning, see http://www.kofax.com/journal/index.php/tag/scan-to-microsoft-sharepoint/. It offers great SharePoint integration features

Or you can alos creatd some wondows based application so that all the scan file will uploaded in centreal location

and when you run the applcation then it wil automatic uploaded in to the document Lib.

You could use the Client Object Model and directly upload files from the client-side to a SharePoint Library. The code could look like this.

public void SaveFile(string url, string filename, byte[] filecontents)
        {
            using (ClientContext context = new ClientContext("url of the sharepoint site"))
            {
                using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(filecontents))
                {
                    Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.File.SaveBinaryDirect(context, url + "\\" + filename, ms, true);
                }
            }
        }

I'd agree with this.  Kofax or ReedSoft are the typical business level partners for scanning solutions that I've worked with in the past.  I imagine most vendors have shipped their own connectors to allow you to scan directly into SharePoint.

Hi,

If you want your own business logic, then my suggestion would be save the documents (There must be default settings  to save the docs in the scanner / printer) whatever scanning in the folder.

May be you try "Spool folder" location settings.

Create the windows service (You can go ahead with Anil Sharma's code snippet) that push the document to SP document library.

Typically, I heard and come across about most of the clients don't want to rely on 3rd party tool , if they even feel it can be developed by their developer, they would ask you to develop their own.

Or sometime, they will compare the 3rd party tool and ask the developer to do so.

Try to find your own sol
