Know exactly where your work receipts are at all times. Instantly find whiteboard brainstorming pics when you need them. And never lose another important business card in a coat pocket. When you use your phone as a PDF scanner, it’s easy to capture and upload important images and files to your Dropbox account. From there, Dropbox gives you smart naming and folder suggestions based on recent scans so you can organize your files intuitively.
Dropbox uses automatic optical character recognition (OCR) technology on scanned docs so you can easily search for the content later. Just input a term or keyword in the search bar and a short list of relevant content will appear. You can also search for content using a thumbnail preview. This makes it a snap for you to find—and organize—all your PDF files within Dropbox.
Scan documents into PDF files with a variety of filters in black and white, whiteboard, or original. Your scans are auto-detected so you can smart crop and rotate them, too. Turn PDFs into multiple-page documents simply by adding additional pages and reordering them as you see fit. And you can always retake a scan without having to start over. When you’re done, choose where in Dropbox you want to save your scans with smart naming and smart folder suggestions.
Free yourself from relying on physical folders and paper documents in the office. Transform your team into an organized, collaborative powerhouse with paperless, workable files that everyone can access in one place. Your teams can quickly scan documents to PDF, store, and back up all their important work in Dropbox while enjoying greater mobility and the freedom to work from anywhere.
Dropbox Scan is a free standalone iOS app that makes scanning documents simple, quick, and easy. It uses five times less storage than the Dropbox mobile app and has a streamlined scanning experience, so you can turn any document into a high-quality PDF in seconds—right from your phone.
