DrScan is the easiest way to get rid of paper — just scan, and the rest happens automatically. Hold your phone up to the document, press the button, and you’re done. DrScan automatically detects the edges, corrects the perspective, and sends the file straight to your Dropbox — sorted into a folder with today’s date. WHAT MAKES DRSCAN STAND OUT: → Scan with a single tap The camera automatically detects the document and takes a photo at the perfect moment. No cropping, no editing. → Automatic organisation in Dropbox Every scan goes into a folder with the date (e.g. 2024-04). No more searching for files — you always know where everything is. → Frees up phone storage Once successfully uploaded to Dropbox, the file is automatically deleted from your phone. Scan as much as you like — your phone stays clear. → Works offline No connection? DrScan queues your scans and sends them automatically as soon as you’re back online. You can scan in any situation. → PDF or JPG — your choice Choose the format that suits you best. Your setting is saved between sessions. PERFECT FOR: • People who want to get rid of paper at home and in the office • Anyone who already uses Dropbox • Users looking for a simple scanner without unnecessary features Connect DrScan to your Dropbox account and stop worrying about documents.
