- Open the Google Drive app.
- Depending on your phone, tap either Add or the + (plus) sign near the lower-right corner of the screen.
- Tap Scan.
- Hover your phone over the document, and get the entire page of the document in view on the phone’s screen. You might have to move the phone up and down to get the whole document in the screen. The best method is to get directly above the paper, as level as you can get your phone. Once you have the entire document in view, tap the shutter or capture button as if you’re taking a picture.
- When you get the image how you want it, tap the check mark on the screen.
- If your document is only one page, you can tap Save at this point. Then, skip to step 10.
- If your document has multiple pages, tap the + (plus) icon to add more pages to the document.
- Repeat steps 4 & 5 above for however many pages you need to add.
- When you are done scanning all pages of the document, tap Save.
- Below Document title, erase the current scan title in the box, and type a new title for the document.
- Under Account, you only need to change this if the e-mail address for your Google account isn’t showing.
- Under Folder, choose the folder where you want to save the document. Android defaults to My Drive, or you can select another folder.
- Tap Save .
