What is OneDrive Scanning?
A little gadget that will please. With the OneDrive mobile app, you can quickly scan physical documents or notes and sketches on paper by opening the app and tapping the camera icon. After the scanning, OneDrive digitizes the image into a PDF file, which you can then save, share, or tag with text, images, or artwork and handwriting. Once you save your scanned items to OneDrive, you can access them anywhere on any device and send them to anyone you want.
You can also use multi-page scanning to capture a maximum of 10 pages or images at a time.
