When it comes to scanning documents quickly via your smartphone, the famous CamScanner app used to be the saver for all Android users. Open the app, keep the document within the camera range and get a scanned copy in PDF form within a few seconds. However, the sudden ban on several Chinese apps in India, back in June 2020 over concerns of national security axed the CamScanner too. However, as soon as this scanning app vanished in India, several other options popped up. With plenty of apps available out there, it becomes difficult to choose the best app for you. But you don’t need to find it anywhere else, as your Android phone already has a hidden app for scanning documents.
It is none other than Google Drive. Yes, your Google Drive can work as a document scanner too! It is available for both Android and iPhone users, but you can access this feature on Android devices only. Wondering how to use it? Know here in simple steps how to scan documents on your phone using Google Drive.
To scan the documents via Android’s hidden feature, you will need to access the Google Drive app on your phone first.
Once you open Google Drive, then tap the + icon available at the right bottom of the home screen and click on the Scan button.
Now, tap the checkmark available on your document when you take a picture of it.
After that, preview the document and adjust the proper area of the document by using the crop tool while dragging the corners of the scanned document.
Once the editing is completed, you can click on the Save button. Hit the Save button again after selecting a file name, Google Account, and location in the required box.
