CodaScan / Connected destinationDropbox photos without the sorting chore
Stop copying photos to a computer and filing them one by one. CodaScan sends labeled work photos to your Dropbox folders so colleagues can find them by the reference they already know.
A short photo routine, not another admin task
Choose where photos should go once. Your team can then photograph the work and get on with the next task, even without signal.
Connect Dropbox
Sign in on the device and authorize CodaScan to use the selected Dropbox account.
Choose the folder
Browse or search for the destination, then choose flat storage or date-and-identifier folders.
Scan and capture
Scan a barcode or enter an identifier, take the required photos, and keep working offline.
Upload when connected
Queued photos and their metadata sidecars upload automatically when connectivity returns.
Make the photos useful to the next person
A photo should help answer a question, not create a search job. Keep it in the right folder, with the reference and details your team needs.
Keep your familiar folders
Use the Dropbox folder your colleagues already open. There is no separate photo portal to introduce or maintain.
Find the job without renaming files
File photos together or by date and reference. CodaScan handles the naming and folders instead of leaving that work for the end of the shift.
Keep the explanation with the photo
Save notes and other captured details beside each photo. A colleague can understand the record without asking the person who took it.
Choose useful detail without oversized files
Set image quality and format for the work you document, from readable labels to wider condition photos.
Move between jobs without setting up the phone again
A shared phone should not slow down the next job. Save each team’s destination and photo requirements once, then choose the right setup when you change tasks, customers, or sites.
One phone for the next job too
Move from receiving to dispatch, returns, or inspections on the same phone. Select a saved configuration with the Dropbox folder and settings for that task.
Keep each client’s work easy to find
Document work for different clients, projects, or sites. Give each a named configuration pointing to its own Dropbox folder, without choosing a new upload folder every time.
Give staff the right prompts for the task
A delivery record and an equipment inspection may need different details. Save the metadata fields, folder layout, and camera quality for each workflow.
Move on without mixing up earlier work
Changing configurations applies to new records. Photos already captured keep their original destination, including uploads waiting for a connection.
Metadata stays beside the photo
For each photo with metadata, CodaScan writes a JSON sidecar file beside it—for example, photo.jpg.json—so downstream workflows can read the captured fields without a separate database.
Choose the folder you already use
Connect Dropbox on the device, browse or search its folders, and select the destination explicitly. Saved configurations keep the non-secret destination and workflow settings available to licensed devices.
Your photos stay in your own storage
Dropbox credentials stay in protected device storage. Photos and metadata upload directly from the device to Dropbox; CodaScan's central service does not receive them.
Try your next job without the photo admin
Use the trial with one phone and a real Dropbox folder. Take the photos, then ask a colleague to find them without your help.
