What “free” means here
Many free scanner apps on Android show an ad before every export, stamp a watermark on the page or lock PDF export behind a subscription. DafScan has none of those, and there is nothing to sign up for.
Why not just use Google Drive?
Drive scans well, and it is already on most phones. The difference is where the file goes: a Drive scan is saved to your Google account. DafScan keeps the scan on the phone, and it leaves only when you share it.
How to scan with Drive or a Samsung cameraPrivate by design
Scans are saved in the app’s storage on your phone. DafScan has no server, so there is nowhere for your documents to be uploaded.
