Rid your desk of paper clutter

All you need is a free app and your phone. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. If your home office is piled up high with papers, getting these documents digitized isn't as daunting a task as you might have thought. You don't need a big flatbed scanner or expensive software: All you need is your smartphone and Google Drive for Android or iOS . Load up Google Drive, point your phone's camera at a document, and you can turn it into a PDF that can be safely stored in the cloud--and which can be sorted and searched through like any other file in Google Drive.
