With the OneDrive app on your mobile device, you can scan documents, whiteboards, business cards, or photos.

1. In the **Apple App Store** or **Google Play Store**, download the **OneDrive app**.
2. In the OneDrive app, tap on the camera icon near the bottom of the screen.
3. Swipe right to select either **Whiteboard, Document, Business Card, **or **Photo** depending on what you wish to scan. This selection will help OneDrive to automatically crop the image for you.
4. To retake the scan, tap the **left arrow icon** in the upper left corner to delete the scan.
5. Once scanned, options will appear to crop, rotate, add text, or highlight sections.
6. Once you have completed editing, tap **Done.**
7. Enter a file name.
8. Tap **Save.**

These files will save to the “top-level” of your OneDrive. They will be sitting in your OneDrive folder, not in a subfolder in your OneDrive.
