Is the ADS-4300N worth it over a cheaper USB scanner?

If several people need one scanner, yes. Built-in Ethernet, standard drivers and an 80-sheet feeder do more than a USB-only unit. For one person scanning occasionally, a simpler model is enough.

Can it scan both sides at once?

Yes. It has dual CIS sensors and scans both sides in a single pass at up to 40 pages per minute.

Does it work with Mac and Linux?

Yes. Brother lists Windows, Mac and Linux support, and it offers TWAIN, WIA, ISIS and SANE drivers.

What paper sizes does the feeder take?

Documents up to 8.5 inches wide and 14 inches long, in mixed sizes and weights, up to 80 sheets at 80 g/m².

Can it scan to Google Drive or Dropbox?

Yes. It scans to cloud services including Google Drive, Dropbox and OneDrive, plus email, SharePoint, SFTP and a USB stick.

No. It connects by Ethernet or SuperSpeed USB 3.0 only.
