While working, you might sometimes want to quickly send your important files to various file hosting accounts so as to share them with colleagues or simply as backup. CloudZap is a comprehensive application that comes in handy to all those who want to upload their documents to the cloud, while also scanning files or capturing snapshots.

The application basically installs three distinct utilities on your computer and you can launch whichever you choose, depending on the task you want to complete.

To begin with, you can start by scanning your files, then you can insert local documents as new pages or export your files as PDF or TIFF so you can share them with your other users. You can also rely on the OCR (optical character recognition) function whenever you want to extract text from your scanned file.

Another component of CloudZap can be used whenever you want to print your documents and save them as PDF, then upload them to the online account you choose, such as Google Docs, SharePoint, SalesForce.com, Dropbox, Amazon S3, Box, SugarSync, Facebook, Skydrive, Evernote, FTP, MediaFire or YouSendIt.

You can also rely on CloudZap when you want to directly upload your files to any of the accounts you own, by simply creating a list with all items, then entering the credentials for the service you are interested in.

Additionally, you can first take snapshots of your full desktop, of a certain region of it or of the active window, save it as a standalone file (multiple formats are supported: JPEG, TIFF, BMP, PDF, ICO, TGA or PS) then upload it to the cloud.

All in all, CloudZap can be of great use to all those looking to backup their files to their personal online accounts so as to share them with others.
