This is the one I use...I never paid, nor do I see any in-app purchase options.

I can export to just about anything on my phone...email, social apps, dropbox, onedrive, etc.

Interesting - if you check here, https://play.google.com/store/search...r&c=apps&hl=en you'll see that there are clearly a number of different CamScanner products available. Dunno the difference, but I'll try this one

ETA: That one is the one I already have! Apparently, there's a "license" I can buy that upgrades to Pro for $1.99, and that I presume removes the ads. Alternatively, within the app itself, I can "subscribe" for $4.99/month.

The strange thing is CamScan suddenly allows me to share to OneDrive. It used to not allow that in the free version. Still think I'll pay the money as I will use it a lot and think they deserve the money if I'm using it (not to mention removing the ads for professional reasons).

Another update - from CamScanner's website: https://www.camscanner.com/payment/price

It seems there's either a basic account or paid account. There's also a free app and paid app. Unclear the difference, though I assume it breaks down to really 3 levels: basic account with free app, basic account with paid app, premium account. Where the premium account gets everything included in the paid app plus some. The paid app I assume gets only the benefits of basic account with free app plus the benefits of ad-free, no watermark, OCR, and 400 MB of cloud storage instead of 200.

Seems strange though

Can't say that's a feature I've ever tried. My main use is to scan copies of my important IDs, ever-changing credit cards, and receipts, be it for expensing or warranty safekeeping).

Google Drive scans are almost always out of focus for me. The upside of Drive is it can make multi-page PDF scans.

I've had great luck with Office Lens, the only downside being it's limited to single page PDF scans.

Combining multiple one-page PDFs into one PDF is easily addressed by PDFtk, look for "PDFtk Free."

I've used the Google Drive widget for scanning for over a year now and never had a problem with focus. I love the fact that, with the Google Drive Sync app for Windows, my phone scans are both up on Drive and in a local folder on my laptop within seconds.

I suspect focus issues are probably related to the particular combination of hardware and software; I've never had any problems with it on my Nexus 6.

OTOH, my Note 3 had focus problems with every single third-party camera app, and only really worked with Samsung's (and not that well with that.)

Might seem like a bit of a workaround, but check out the solution I'm using. Parts of it might be helpful to you.

I'm a diehard Evernote fan...it links nearly seemlessly with many of my phone apps. I have an iphone and use the Evernote based scan app called Scannable - is there an android equivalent? The beauty of Evernote is that once I upload a note or file (or photo or web page or anything) to my Evernote cloud, then behind the scenes Evernote automatically does an OCR scan of my document, which makes Evernote incredibly searchable for future retrieval. As such, I use my Evernote cloud as a repository for everything - from W2's to my wife's recipes to my travel packing checklist.

However, Evernote does have a monthly upload limit, and it is kind of a pain for batch pdf file downloads (ie, sending all my 2015 tax related documents to my accountant). I find that Dropbox is far more useful for strict document management. Plus, my subscription to Dropbox doesn't have any upload size limits, and is much faster at upload/download than most other cloud based apps I've used - as such, it even beats Google Drive. However, to be useful, Dropbox sort of requires that I impose the discipline of structure upon myself, whereas Evernote just lets me dump stuff in there free form - actually, I do use a variety of "notebooks" to help organize Evernote, but I don't stress to much about it, since every file or note I upload to gets that automatic OCR scan.

Anyway, I was kludging along with a mishmash of Evernote/Dropbox - as well as Google Drive - when a rather deep dive google search finally landed me on CloudHQ. Check it out at this link.

I have been amazed at how well CloudHQ seamlessly syncs my Evernote and my Dropbox clouds. I'm sure it would do just as slick of a job at syncing Google Drive with your OneDrive account. It's true that Google Drive and Evernote (and to a slightly lesser degree, Dropbox) seem to be integrated with MANY mobile apps for ease of saving and uploading files, whereas OneDrive isn't as common. Maybe you can just save files to Google Drive on your phone, and then use CloudHQ to sync with OneDrive.

In my case, I have very different reasons for why I like both Dropbox and Evernote, so it's well worth it to me - and doesn't seem like a wasteful redundancy - to use CloudHQ to keep those clouds synced with each other.

Also, for full disclosure, my Dropbox account has a 1TB limit, whereas my Evernote account has a monthly 10GB upload limit. Thus, my Dropbox account is too large to sync in an identical fashion to my Evernote account. However, after my initial selective sync setup, I now have it worked out where I upload everything to Evernote, and it gets synced in mirror fashion to Dropbox. I also used to use a Google Drive account, but that actually really WAS redundant with my Dropbox account. So...once I discovered CloudHQ and got all my files synced between Google Drive, Dropbox, and Evernote (CloudHQ is capable of syncing multiple cloud accounts), I jettisoned the Google Drive account.

I messaged CamScanner, and they explained that the paid app ($1.99) is enough for the needs I described them.

The premium account ($4.99/month) includes everything the paid app has plus some, but is geared towards a specific type of user, not just for general needs.

Thanks all!

p.s. regarding Google Drive, I've occasionally had focus issues, but retried and it went through fine. Suspect the issue may be your camera.

I used to use CamScanner a lot, but now I find it's easier to just convert jpg photos to pdf once I return to the office. The manipulation of the raw photo files to smooth out wrinkles in pages and book bindings takes too much time to suit me.

You don't find the quality suffering, not to mention it time consuming?

How do you convert - on your phone or the computer?

I use the widget often. It's good for quick and dirty scanning. I've sent payroll sheets with it. It seems a little touchy with shadows sometimes. It's not as good as a flatbed scanner, obviously, but it is often good enough.

1. No problems with quality.

2. It's less time consuming (given the nature of my work) to do it later, either on computer, tablet or phone.

+1

Free version has served me well.

Does CamScanner Pro allow you to combine multiple PDFs onto one page? My company has said I need to submit as few PDF pages as possible--which means cramming as many weekly receipts onto on page as possible.

Has anyone tried TurboScan? Any other recommendations with that meet that specific requirement?
