Neatdesk scanner software question

Factual Questions
#1

First, I tried Googling but came up with nothing.

I got a gift a month early. A Neatdesk scanner. When trying to set up the software it wanted me to go for a free 30 day trial for NeatCloud. I found no way to get around it, so I stopped installation. I did find a cite where people complained trying to cancel after the trial was a nightmare.

Anyway, for the question. Do you have to have NeatCloud to use the cabinet software?

#2

I do have NeatCloud, but it’s not required. Most of my receipts I scan from my phone when I’m out and about, I use the scanner for things like bank statements and it all syncs together.

Since I’ve been using it since version 2 or so, I haven’t experienced the forced trial. The last time I had to call them for something, you speak to someone in Boston, so it was more or less understandable ������

When you were setting up the software, did it have you sign up for the cloud service first before anything else?

Thanks.

#4

I’ve been running the software since before NeatCloud was around, so it has been an upgrade install for me, but I’m pretty sure you can skip the cloud login.

Thank you.
