There is an app on all the iPads that is often overlooked. In this post we will show you just two things.
- How to find your Google Drive in the Files app.
- Using the Files app to scan documents.
Google Drive and Files App
Look for the file folder icon.
Click the ice cream cone, the three dots.
Then Edit Sidebar.
Toggle on Drive and then click Done.
While you have the Drive app on your iPad already, this is another way to quickly move docs around.
Scanning with Files App
I love Post-It notes. Some are just little reminders and to-dos. Other notes are ideas. Some of the ideas are for this week and some are for far into the future.
Some of the papers that are around me should be kept forever and my filing system is chaos at best.
We all use our device camera to capture papers. What frustrates me is all the space around the document, it seems inefficient.
If you use Files it will cut out all the extra bits on the sides and leaves you with just the paper.
To start scanning, open Files and click the ice cream cone.
Click Scan Documents.
I pointed my camera at this small Post-It and it detected the edges and saved it. All I had to do was point, the iPad did the rest.
Clicking save moves the image to Files.
