The update is gradually rolling out to all Google Workspace customers and users with personal Google accounts, with no administrator control required.

On Android and iOS, the steps to use the new Google Drive scanner are similar: simply open the Drive app and scan a document using the camera icon or the “Scan” button below the icon “+. Once scanned, check and adjust auto crop, scan any additional pages needed, apply any desired filters, then save to Drive.
The revamped Google Drive scanner functionality marks a significant step forward in scanning and organizing documents and echoes updates Google recently made to the Messages app using the Pixel camera. Enhanced capabilities and expanded availability on Android and iOS devices make it easier than ever for users to manage their physical documents in digital form.
