Abstract
An image forming apparatus is connected via a network with at least one computer having a storage section capable of creating at least one folder. The apparatus has a data acquiring section to acquire document data and a location information acquiring section to acquire location information from each computer through the network. An administering section registers the at least one folder identified by the location information as at least one folder capable of storing the document data. A display unit displays an image and a folder display controlling section controls the display unit to display an image of registered folders. An input operation unit accepts input operation by a user and a folder designation accepting section allows the user to designate a desired folder on the display unit for acceptance with use of the input operation unit. A data transmitting section transmits the document data to the designated folder.
