1. An image processing apparatus which is able to communicate with a cloud service via a network, the image processing apparatus comprising:
a reading unit configured to read an image on a document to generate image data;
a receiving unit configured to receive an instruction to read the image on the document using the reading unit;
a transmission unit configured to transmit the generated image data to the cloud service via the network;
a login setting unit configured to set whether to enable a login function or to disable the login function;
a login unit configured to allow a user to log into the image processing apparatus by authentication information of the user in a case where the login function is set to be enabled;
a request unit configured to:
if the receiving unit has received the instruction in a state where the login function is set to be disabled, request the cloud service to generate storage location information indicating a storage location of the image data; and
if the receiving unit has received the instruction in a state where the login function is set to be enabled and the user has logged into the image processing apparatus using the login unit, the request unit does not request the cloud service to generate the storage location information indicating the storage location of the image data; and
a notification unit configured to notify a user of a Quick Response (QR) code,
wherein the QR code is QR code enabling another apparatus to acquire the storage location information indicating the storage location of the image data by capturing the QR code and to receive the image data based on the storage location information,
wherein a period during which the image data transmitted to the cloud service via the network is receivable by the another apparatus is set after the reading unit reads the image on the document, and
wherein, after the period expires, the another apparatus is unable to receive the image data based on the storage location information.
