Your printer already has the button — modern email just won't talk to it. Point it at smtp.scanhive.net and every scan lands. No mail server, no OAuth headaches, no IT guy.

Modern mailboxes killed the old logins printers rely on, and ISPs block their mail. Scanhive speaks the printer's language on one side and modern email's on the other.
We generate the settings; a wizard for your printer's brand shows exactly where they go.
Same button, same screen. Only approved recipients — never an open relay.
Inboxes, Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, Box or your own storage — deliverability is our job, not yours.
Connect a cloud drive in two clicks — no tokens to paste, no folder IDs to look up. Scans file themselves into a Scanhive folder, or into folders you choose per printer.
Also: email recipients you verify, an encrypted vault with a web inbox, Amazon S3 and S3-compatible storage, SFTP and FTPS, WebDAV/Nextcloud, Slack and signed webhooks.

Only if you turn on the web inbox or archive — otherwise scans pass through and are deleted after delivery. Stored data is encrypted, hosted in the UK/EU.
Yes — recipients must be verified by you first, every scan is logged in an audit trail, and we're GDPR compliant with a signed DPA on any paid plan.
Ancient is our specialty. We accept the oldest dialects of SMTP and short passwords, and use the strongest encryption your printer supports. From us onward, everything travels fully encrypted.
No. Nothing changes about your mailboxes — scans simply arrive in them. They're sent from a verified Scanhive domain with your printer's address kept in Reply-To, which is exactly what stops modern mail providers rejecting them.
