How To Scan A Document On Android Using Google Drive

[@techtimewithtimmy]

Unfortunately, I've just found out this only works on Android, not iPhone or iPad. Sorry iOS users.

Thanks Timmy. I'm looking for a lightweight tripod to hold my Android phone steady over documents while I scan them. Any recommendations?

[@techtimewithtimmy]

I usually just hold my phone, so I don't really have any personal recommendations, but something like this would probably do the trick: amzn.to/44DKjn0

say I'm scanning multiple documents. if I tap save and wish to come back later and add more scanned pages, how would I go about doing that?

[@techtimewithtimmy]

Unfortunately I don't think there's a built in way to do that. The best option would probably be to create a second PDF file with the second batch of pages, and then download them both to your computer and merge the two documents together with a PDF merging tool like this: smallpdf.com/merge-pdf

Very helpful but after sabing my documents they do not apper in documents where could they be saved

[@techtimewithtimmy]

They will be saved on Google Drive somewhere, be default, they should just be in the "My Drive" folder. (tap "Files" in the bottom menu of the Google Drive app)

scanned page borders are not equal in length, they are not correctly aligned by the apps.

[@JJ_in_Raleigh]

Unfortunately, this does not appear to be possible using the Drive app on an iPhone.

[@techtimewithtimmy]

Oh, sorry, I was sure you could do it on an iPhone as well. I can't see why you can't. But I've just tried it on an old iPhone and sure enough, you're right. Sorry about that, I'll update the title of the video.

Very useful information 👍

[@techtimewithtimmy]

Thank you, I'm glad to hear it!

[@sirinanduri7895]

Then how do I get the paper from that how

[@techtimewithtimmy]

This is only to scan a digital copy of the document and keep it in Google drive. If you want another paper copy, you will need to have a printer, and then you can print out the scanned document.

[@dariasdshain9554]

Great Job thank you

[@techtimewithtimmy]

Thank you!

[@missunderstood1395]

My android is not giving me no option after I scanned the document

[@arunachivukula5231]

How to send the document to my email

[@techtimewithtimmy]

Tap the three dots, tap send a copy, tap the email icon in the menu that appears, then the pdf will be attatched to an email.
