Edit your scan on the fly before saving
To make you even more productive, we included a feature to scan documents directly in the App*. While in any folder, just click the “+”-Icon in the upper right corner of your screen and choose “Scan document”. Then, you can take a picture oft the document which scans it right into your cloud. You can then crop, rotate and convert between color modes (color, grayscale or black/white), You can then save your document as PDF, JPEG or PNG, and choose wether to create a single pagefile or a multi page file.

Once you have scanned your document, you can mark it up, draw and annotate on it right in the App. Just click on the three-dot menu icon to the right of the relevant file and click “Markup”. Then, you can edit it with strokes and brushes as you see fit and either save it as a copy of your scanned file or replace the original scan.
