Brother Web Connect is a built-in feature on compatible Brother devices that lets you scan to and print from popular cloud services without using a computer. From the device’s touchscreen, you can access: - **Google Drive** - **Dropbox** and **Dropbox Business** - **Box** and **Box Business** - **OneDrive** and **OneDrive Business** - **Evernote** and **Evernote Business** - **OneNote** - **SharePoint Online** With Web Connect you can: - **Scan directly to the cloud**: Send documents or images straight to your cloud account. - **Upload from USB**: Insert a USB memory stick and upload files to your cloud storage. - **Print from the cloud**: Browse and print documents stored in your online accounts. Supported scan formats include **PDF**, **searchable PDF**, **Word**, **Excel**, **PowerPoint** (via Brother Cloud Apps), and other common file types. For example, the **MFC-L6915DW** enterprise monochrome laser all-in-one provides direct Web Connect access from its touchscreen display. You’ll need an Internet connection and an account with the cloud service you want to use.

You can get Brother Web Connect running in a few straightforward steps: 1. **Create or use an existing cloud account** - If you don’t already have an account with services like Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, Box, Evernote, OneNote, or SharePoint Online, create one first. 2. **Apply for Web Connect access (one-time step on a computer)** - From a computer, go to the Brother Web Connect registration page. - Follow the prompts to link your Brother device to your chosen cloud service. - You’ll receive a **temporary ID** as part of this process. 3. **Enter the temporary ID on your Brother device** - On the device’s touchscreen, open the Web Connect feature. - Enter the **temporary ID** to enable access to the cloud service. 4. **Name the account and set an optional PIN** - Specify how you want the account name to appear on the device. - Optionally set a **PIN code** to restrict access to that cloud account from the machine. Once this is done, your Brother device can: - **Scan documents or images directly to your cloud account** - **Upload files from a USB memory stick to the cloud** - **Print documents directly from your cloud storage** This setup is designed as a one-time process per account. After that, users can access the registered services directly from the device’s touchscreen.

Brother Cloud Apps are a set of cloud-based tools built into compatible Brother devices that help you capture, convert, and route documents directly from the machine, without needing a separate computer or conversion software. Key capabilities include: 1. **Advanced scan and conversion** - **Scan to Searchable PDF**: Convert single- or multi-page hard copy documents into searchable PDFs using OCR (Optical Character Recognition). - **Scan to Word / Excel / PowerPoint**: Turn paper documents into editable Microsoft Word, Excel, or PowerPoint files, including individual image elements. This helps you reimagine how you update and reuse existing content. 2. **Flexible sharing and access** - **Easy Scan to Email**: Send documents from the Brother device to a prepopulated email address **without configuring mail server settings** on the machine. - **Scan to Mobile**: Scan a document and retrieve it on a mobile device by scanning a **QR code** displayed on the device’s front panel (requires an Internet connection and a QR code app on the mobile device). 3. **Secure and remote printing** - **Cloud Secure Print**: Enable **password-protected printing over the Internet** without installing a printer driver. Users release their jobs at the device using a password. - **Email Print**: Support automatic remote printing via email, again **without a printer driver**, which is useful for guests or remote workers. 4. **Fax routing to cloud or email** - **Fax Forward to Cloud or Email**: Automatically forward incoming faxes to a specified cloud service or email address (requires an Internet connection and an account with the chosen cloud service). This helps you rethink how you handle faxed documents by moving them into digital workflows. For example, the **MFC-L9670CDN** enterprise color laser all-in-one provides direct access to Brother Cloud Apps from the device. All features require an Internet connection, and cloud-related functions require an account with the relevant service. Together, Brother Cloud Apps and Web Connect help reshape document workflows by reducing manual steps, limiting reliance on PCs, and making it easier to move information into the tools your teams already use.
