First off, make sure you have the Google Drive app downloaded to your Android and are signed into your account. To begin your scanning process, tap the camera icon on the bottom right of the screen, which will activate your camera and allow you to take a picture of your document. A blue line will outline the document in the frame.
Once you have taken the picture, you can then alter it however you want. You can crop and resize it, change the coloration, and even erase finger and smudge marks on the document. If your document is more than one page, you can click the “Add” button and repeat the process with the subsequent pages, which the app will condense into one file rather than save each individual page.
You also have the option of retaking or deleting the picture you just took if it wasn’t to your liking. Once everything is in order, you will click “Done” and give your scan a file name. If you so select, you can also select a specific folder location for your document.
All you have to do now is click “Save,” and your newly scanned document is available in your Google Drive. This process automatically saves what you have scanned as a PDF file. Now, you can scan as many files into your Google Drive as you wish.
