Scan And Save Your Paper Documents In Google Docs

scan paper documents upload google docs scanner iconGoogle Docs now allows you to upload files to the cloud and save them securely. This was very helpful as I uploaded all my scanned documents to Google Docs for keeping a backup. All I had to do is scan the papers and them copy the documents to a folder in my Google Docs account. It was alright until I had to scan and save loads of them manually. I was hoping for something that could scan my paper documents and save them directly in my Google Docs account. Scandrop is a freeware that does exactly this. It is a document scanning tool that scans and uploads paper documents directly to Google Docs.

Download the utility from the OfficeDrop website and install it. Once done you will need to sign in with your Google Docs credentials. Now connect your scanner to your computer and put the documents (you wish to scan) in it. Now that the documents are scanned the app will put all the queued files into a PDF and then uploads it to any specific folder (that you choose) in Google Docs. You can edit the PDF prior to uploading it to the cloud server. You can also choose to upload the file to your Evernote or OfficeDrop online account.

The tool is compatible with Windows XP, Windows 7 and Vista operating systems.
