    Share scans with Android devices

    Currently, there isn't a native option to share files with Android devices, so we gathered some workarounds that might help.

    Jump to:
    • Send files via email right from the app
    • Share files through a cloud storage
    • Use iOS to Android transfer software

    Send files via email right from the app

    Sending files using email is one of the easiest ways to share items with others; moreover, there is an easy way to do it right from your scanner app.

        iPhone     iPad
        

    To email a single scan, tap it > tap Exportat the bottom > fill in the needed fields > tap the iconat the top right.

    Alternatively, or to email multiple files at once, follow these steps:

    1. Open Scanner and tap Select at the top right.
    2. Tap the needed files or folders > Export at the bottom > Email.
    3. Fill in the needed fields and tap the iconat the top right.

    To email a single scan, tap it > tap Exportat the top right > fill in the needed fields > tap the iconat the top right.

    Alternatively, or to email multiple scans at once, follow these steps:

    1. Tap Select at the top right.
    2. Tap the needed files or folders, then tap Exportat the bottom.
    3. Fill in the needed fields and tap the iconat the top right.
    Note: If there are any issues while emailing scans, check out this article.

    Share files through a cloud storage

    This is a great method for transferring many files at once regardless of their size. All you need is a cloud storage account and access to the Internet on both devices. Even though iCloud is what the major part of iOS users is used to, it may not be the best possible option when it comes to cross-platform file sharing. You may find Dropbox, Google Drive, or, for example, Office 365, to be more convenient for this purpose. 

    To get started, you need to connect the chosen cloud to Scanner and upload the files you want to share. After that, there are two scenarios:

    • If you need to transfer files between devices that belong to you, you'll need to install your cloud storage app on your Android device and log in with the same account you used in Scanner. 
    • If you need to share files with somebody else, you can simply share a link to the files - neither the cloud storage app nor the access to your account needed. 

    Download and enjoy the files on both platforms!

    Use iOS to Android transfer software

    The data transfer apps allow you to transfer files from your iPhone or iPad to an Android device wirelessly. There are numerous cross-platform apps, thus, if you find a dedicated transfer software to be the best option for you, you'll have what to choose from. We recommend making sure that the app of your choice is trusted and secure before using it.
