OneDrive saves the day as your portable scanner

There you are, working from home and getting things done, until suddenly… you need to print, sign and scan a document.

You’ve got a printer, so that’s OK. But no scanner. That’s annoying. How can you get this done today?

Sure, you could get a multi-function device installed at home. But if you only use it now and again, it’s just taking up space.

There’s a better way. Microsoft 365 jumps to the rescue with its OneDrive app.

  • Download the app to your mobile device or tablet.
  • Just tap the scan icon, select ‘document’ and hit the white button as if you were taking a photo.
  • You can even sign or draw on the scanned document by selecting the pen icon.
  • Then tap ‘done’, enter a file name, and ‘save’ the document.
  • You can now find it in your OneDrive and share as you want.
