Scanning function within Google Drive

After seeing a YouTube video about it I've just tried the scanning function within Google Drive

It's very impressive, just point your camera at a number of items laid out on the floor and it'll scan them all automatically and can cope with the documents being laid at all different angles.

I think it can find duplicates too.

Well worth having a play with if you need any scanning done. Goodness only knows what Google do with the data though!

    I've used these functions myself. Yes, you are giving your data to Google. But if you have Gmail, Google photos, anything else shared with them, well, your stuffed anyway.
