How Can I Successfully Scan from a Sharp MFP to SharePoint Online?

In my experience, I had a system where I scanned documents to a NAS (like Qnap) and then synced that folder with SharePoint using an app provided by Qnap. It streamlined the process a lot. Maybe something similar could work for your Sharp MFP?

One workaround I found is sending the scanned documents to an email address of a Teams channel, since Teams channels automatically link to SharePoint libraries. This way, you can easily get your files into SharePoint without the hassle of configuring the MFP directly. Plus, the channel keeps a log of scanned documents, which you can discuss or automate further with tools like Power Automate.

I've had some success with a similar setup by automating the process. I configured a Power Automate flow so that when an email arrives in a designated mailbox, the attachment gets sent straight to a SharePoint library. It's a bit of a roundabout way, but it works smoothly for me!

For setups that involve scanning directly to cloud services, I've seen installation of OAuth required for authorization. That said, you might want to verify if your MFP is set up to connect to SharePoint using a specific account. Does it have the necessary token or session key for accessing the folder? It might just need that extra layer of authentication.
