For SharePoint users, what is the benefit of scanning documents to a shared Home folder?
For one, everyone with access to a specific SharePoint site, the user group could easily scan to and see the paper documents that were intended to be shared.

... so I decided to ask CoPilot AI.
A Shared Home Folder in SharePoint is a special type of workspace that allows you to share the contents of a folder across all computers where you have your account, and with other users by invitation.
The main purposes of a Shared Home Folder in SharePoint are:
- Collaboration: It enables multiple users to work on the same files simultaneously. This is particularly useful for collaborative projects where team members need to access and edit the same documents
- Access Control: When you share files and folders, you can decide whether to let people edit or just view them. You can also see who a SharePoint file is shared with, and stop sharing SharePoint files or folders, or change permissions, at any time.
- Organization: Instead of sharing multiple items at the same time, you can add the things you’d like to share to a folder and then share the folder[.
- Integration with Microsoft Teams: A Teams-connected SharePoint site is created automatically whenever you create a team in Microsoft Teams. By default this SharePoint site will have a document library named Documents (Shared Documents) where you can add shared files which can be used/co-authored by your team members
Remember, when a user shares a folder that contains items with unique permissions, no edit permissions will be removed or restricted. Instead, sharing will only add or grant permissions
Toshiba just released a new MS365 SharePoint Online app version 4.6.03 that adds a new feature called scan to "Shared Home Folder".
I am not a big SharePoint user but I am trying to figure out how this benefits IT Admins and site users.
