This article explains how you can scan to a cloud service using the operation panel of your printer.

 You can also scan to cloud services using Canon PRINT Inkjet / SELPHY for iOS and Android.

Solution

Your printer can be used in conjunction with the Inkjet Cloud Printing Center.  This allows you to print items that you have stored on various cloud services such as Google Drive and Dropbox.  You can also scan documents and photos to certain cloud services as well.  To scan documents or photos to a cloud service, follow the steps below.

 This article assumes that you already have your printer registered with the Inkjet Cloud Printing Center.  If your printer is not registered with this service, click here.  Click Create new account, then click About printer registration ID.  Follow the instructions provided to register your printer with the Inkjet Cloud Printing Center

 Depending on your model, you will either need to tap the options shown on the screen, or you will need to use the arrow keys, the OK button, and the Function buttons under the screen. Individual models' screens may vary in appearance

 This article will use Dropbox as an example.
