Scanning to OneDrive from a Xerox MFD (How-to)

Scanning to OneDrive is the easiest way to scan a document and save it somewhere secure. It allows you to scan large files without encountering size restrictions or diminished quality. You can then share documents via email, Microsoft Teams, or just share directly from OneDrive. See more about using OneDrive by visiting the OneDrive/Shared Storage category in the Knowledge Base.
