ScanDrop and Google Docs

Filed Under Business Ideas, Resources, Principles, etc., Technology

While trying to archive some corporate governance documents a few weeks back, I thought to myself, surely some enterprising company or individual will create a way to scan directly to Google Docs.

I love programmers. To my joy, OfficeDrop has a solution. They’ve integrated shared folders so that you can choose where the documents are filed as you’re scanning. You can also rename them. Apparently, they OCR them and make them into searchable pdfs, but Google Docs doesn’t yet add that information to the Google Docs index.

Unfortunately, it’s not scanning my lettersized page properly on our Canon MF5750. I’ve submitted a support request and I’m hopeful that between this post and my support request, I’ll come to a solution quickly.

    Hi Neal, came across this post while reading about OraBrush’s recent funding. Congrats! How is Google Docs working for you now for your corporate governance documents? If it’s not, as your company grows, you may want to consider an enterprise solution built specifically for venture-backed companies. I can provide more information if you are interested. Congrats again on the successful funding and best wishes for great success.
