Need a scanner? The Google Drive app has one built in — here's how to use it

Back in days gone by, a scanner was an incredibly important part of any office setup. After all, in those days there was no other way to digitize paper documents and still be able to read them when you’re done. That’s no longer the case; now, you can do more or less the same thing with the best camera phones.

Not only do apps like Google Drive have the ability to capture paper documents in no time at all, they can also instantly back up those documents to the cloud. That way you can access those documents across all your devices with little to no extra effort. Plus there’s access to all the modern editing tools you’d expect, to make those documents crystal clear.
