    Greetings!

    This is Tin. Looks like you would like to know where your scanned files are getting saved.

    Usually it will be saved to Scanned Documents inside the Documents library, please check it from File explorer.

    If it's not there, please check the Picture folder and choose Scans.

    It actually depends which location did you choose after scanning the file. You can try to scan a file again and check what was the default location that was set up on your scanner.

    Thanks,

    Tin

    After scanning documents to a Windows computer, the scanned files are typically saved in the specified folder location that you chose during the scanning process. If you used the ScanFilesToFolderAsync method, you would have designated a StorageFolder where the scanned images would be stored. The files can be in various formats such as TIFF, XPS, PDF, DIB, PNG, or JPG, depending on the settings used during the scan.

    If you did not specify a folder, the default location may vary based on the application you used to scan. Common default locations include the "Documents" folder or a specific "Scans" folder within your user directory.

    If you are unsure where the files were saved, you can check the scanning application settings or the last used folder in the file dialog during the scanning process.
