Scanning to a Location lets you specify where you want your scanned documents to be saved. At a minimum, most scanner software save your scanned documents to your local system. Some scanner software lets you scan your documents straight to your cloud accounts like Google Docs or to your email accounts like Gmail and Yahoo

Being able to scan directly to the cloud allows your scanned documents to immediately become portable and shareable.
