Where Does Raven Scanner Store Scans?
Where Raven Scanner keeps scans locally and in the cloud, on mobile and desktop companion apps alike.
Last updated
Raven pairs scanner hardware with cloud accounts and thin apps. The library of record lives in your Raven cloud login. Phones and desktops cache recent scans and hold presets in private storage. Scan jobs pick a destination per preset, which decides the actual file location.
That per preset choice is why two scans land in different places. One preset may target Google Drive, another local Downloads. Open the job history to see the target. Exact private cache names vary by app release, so manage destinations inside the app rather than memorizing folders.
Where Raven Scanner stores this, by platform
/sdcard/Download (scans via preset destination)
Scans follow the preset destination, often Downloads. The cloud library follows your Raven login. Private cache names vary by release, so check job history for the exact target.
On My iPhone/Raven (via Files share)
Scans save to Files or the chosen cloud folder through sharing. Library follows your Raven account. App cache is private. Use job history to confirm destinations.
Frequently asked questions
Where did my Raven scan go?
Check the destination set in the scan job, since Raven can send to cloud folders, email, or local storage per preset. Mobile saves often land in Downloads or Files. Desktop sync mirrors the cloud library. The job history in the app names the target for each scan.
Are Raven scans in the cloud or on the device?
Both. The Raven cloud holds the library tied to your account, while devices cache recent jobs privately. Signing in on a new device restores the cloud list. Local-only scans you never uploaded stay on the old hardware, so upload before wiping.
