While it’s not as convenient, if you have a phone tripod mount or some way to hold the phone steady over the document scanning area, it’ll also make for better results.

Once again, better light means better autofocus performance. Just tap on the document and the phone’s autofocus should do the job.

Next, make sure the document is in focus.

It can even help to place it inside a transparent folder, as long as it’s not too shiny.

A flat document will scan well, but one that’s folded or crumpled makes it hard for the software to get a good scan.

Straighten the document out as much as possible.

Just don’t position your phone directly beneath the light, or you’ll cast a shadow on it. So you’re better off using a soft diffuse light such as the overhead fluorescents. The problem is that the harsh built-in flash is likely to cause glare on the paper.

The Google Drive app does let you switch on the flash in a pinch.Even expensive flagship smartphone cameras aren’t going to do a great job in low-light conditions. First, make sure there’s enough light! Your camera needs light to work.While the technology behind Google Drive’s scanning function is pretty impressive, there are a few things that you can do to help make the results even better. When your critical uploads have completed, be sure to turn this setting back on or run the risk of huge mobile data bills at the end of the month. You’ll probably want to change the setting back after completing your upload. Be warned that this can eat a large chunk of your data cap. If you absolutely must get those scans safely in the cloud as quickly as possibly, you have to change the setting in Google Drive to allow for mobile data uploads. This also means that you won’t be able to share your scans with anyone until you’ve connected to WiFi. Depending on your app settings, uploads may also happen via mobile data, but by default Drive waits for WiFi before uploading any files from your phone to the cloud. If you’re on a WiFi connection, that scan will be automatically uploaded to whatever Google Drive folder you specify. When you first scan a document with the Google Drive app, you’re creating a scan that’s local to your phone’s storage. Give it a name, choose which Google account it should be saved under and then pick a location for it.

Now you’ll be asked to save the document as a PDF on your Google Drive account. If you only have one page to scan, you can now choose the Save button, but if you want to add more pages, choose the plus sign and repeat the above steps until you have all the pages of the document scanned.
