Will the Brother DS-640 work?

Yes. Going by Brother's own pages, it can capture today with scan to cloud and a TWAIN driver.

A portable sheet-fed scanner powered by its USB cable, for travel and small or home offices.

Easiest path to one place

Scan to one cloud folder

Point every scan at a single cloud folder so they collect in one place. The scan-to-cloud row below says whether a computer or add-on is involved.

  • Scan to cloud

    Yes

    The device, or the maker's own software or service, sends pages to cloud storage.

    Yes, but only through the free Brother iPrint&Scan app on a computer, for OneDrive, Google Drive or Dropbox. The scanner can't send to the cloud by itself.[1]

  • TWAIN driver (classic)

    Yes

    The long-standing way to scan. A driver installed on a computer lets scanning apps run the scanner, usually over a USB cable.

    Yes. Scanning programs on your computer can use it through its TWAIN driver. It connects with a USB cable.[1]

Works with: Windows, macOS, Linux
