OfficeDrop Offers Free Mac Scan-to-Cloud App and Updates Paid Mac App

In order to offer consumers an improved paid app that adds document-splitting and features unlimited uploads, OfficeDrop has awarded a free addition to their ScanDrop for Mac app lineup ScanDrop Lite. The company enables small businesses to scan paper to the cloud and access documents from anywhere, at any time, from any device. It also launched an update to the paid ScanDrop for Mac software.

According to a press release, ScanDrop Lite is a new free app from OfficeDrop, available for download in the Mac App Store.

“We are excited to bring a free version of our ScanDrop app to market, reaching new users and allowing them to scan and store unlimited documents in OfficeDrop's digital filing system,” said OfficeDrop CEO Prasad Thammineni.   “Additionally, the ability to separate pages from bulk scans into individual documents is a valuable tool that our users have requested, and we are pleased to provide that functionality in our paid ScanDrop app.   We believe these developments will help us continue our mission to give paper new life in the cloud.”

Like the original version of ScanDrop, users can scan documents directly to the cloud with ease.  With the lite app, users can upload 15 pages per month to a variety of cloud programs including Google (News - Alert) Docs, Gmail, Evernote and DropBox and upload unlimited pages to OfficeDrop's cloud filing cabinet.
