Turning a paper document into a digital one

So, you have a printed document in your hands. that you need to save or transfer to a third party in electronic form. You'll agree that the task is typical and widespread. Yes, it has several solutions. But they all have their drawbacks. Google Drive offers a simple and almost perfect solution.

Google Drive offers a convenient and fast solution

  1. Open the Google Drive application on your mobile phone.
  2. In the lower right part of the screen you will see the "camera" icon. Click it.
  3. Point the camera at the document. Scan it.
  4. If there is not enough light for an acceptable scanning result, there is a "flashlight" icon in the upper right corner of the screen (off by default). Turn it on and scan again.
  5. If necessary, go to the "filters" tab and apply, for example, the "b/w" filter (a useful option for a black and white document).
  6. Save the resulting file in PDF format on Google Drive in any account available to you in the desired folder.
In addition to speed and convenience, you get a number of other bonuses.
  • Such a file is available to you from any device (your own or someone else's, mobile or stationary), since it is in the cloud, and you did not make any unnecessary movements for this.
  • You can find it at any time by any trinkets that you only remember (even if you forget almost everything about it).
  • Access to the file can be provided to third parties in several ways. And having provided it, control it at the rights level or cancel it altogether.
