When the registered transmission destination has a transfer setting of transferring data transmitted to the transmission destination, the first information processing apparatus displays, in association with a button for transmission to the transmission destination, information representing the transfer destination of data transferred in accordance with the transfer setting. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An information processing system comprising: a registration unit which registers, on an information processing apparatus, a transmission destination to which data is to be transmitted; and a display control unit which, when the transmission destination registered by said registration unit has a transfer setting which causes the transmitted data to be transferred to a transfer destination, causes the information processing apparatus to display, in association with a button for transmission to the transmission destination, information representing the transfer destination. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The system according to claim 1, further comprising a designation unit which designates a storage location of the data in accordance with a user operation, wherein the transfer setting is a setting for transferring the data transmitted to the transmission destination to the storage location designated by said designation unit. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The system according to claim 2, wherein when the storage location designated by said designation unit is different from the transmission destination registered by said registration unit, said display control unit causes the information processing apparatus to display information representing the storage location instead of information representing the transmission destination. ### Claim 4 (depends on 2) The system according to claim 2, further comprising a transfer setting unit which automatically makes the transfer setting when the storage location designated by said designation unit is different from the transmission destination registered by said registration unit. ### Claim 5 (depends on 2) The system according to claim 2, wherein said designation unit designates the storage location which is a folder managed by a second information processing apparatus. ### Claim 6 (depends on 2) The system according to claim 2, wherein said registration unit registers the transmission destination which is a shared folder managed by a second information processing apparatus and accessible by both the information processing apparatus and the second information processing apparatus. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The system according to claim 6, further comprising: a determination unit which, when said designation unit designates the storage location, determines whether a shared folder available as the transmission destination exists; and a generation unit which, when said determination unit determines that a shared folder available as the transmission destination does not exist, automatically generates a shared folder to be used as the transmission destination. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The system according to claim 1, further comprising a notification unit which notifies the information processing apparatus of the information representing the transfer destination, wherein said display control unit arranged in the information processing apparatus controls a display unit of the information processing apparatus to display the information which is notified by said notification unit and represents the transfer destination. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The system according to claim 8, wherein said display control unit controls the display unit to display the information representing the transfer destination as a button name of the button operated when a user designates transmission of the data. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The system according to claim 9, further comprising: a reading unit which reads an image of an original document to generate image data based on the image, on the information processing apparatus; and a transmission unit which transmits the image data generated by said reading unit to the transmission destination registered by said registration unit in response to operating the button displayed on the display unit. ### Claim 11 A method of controlling an information processing system, comprising: registering, on an information processing apparatus, a transmission destination to which data is to be transmitted; and when the transmission destination registered in said registering has a transfer setting which causes the transmitted data to be transferred to a transfer destination, causing the information processing apparatus to display, in association with a button for transmission to the transmission destination, information representing the transfer destination. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute an information processing system control method defined in claim 11.
