Creating a Digital Filing Cabinet with Google Drive

Tax season is around the corner, and I always have a difficult time trying to keep my files, receipts, and documents organized.  I have  debated on going digital for quite some time now, but the Google Drive app has helped me make this process a little easier.

With a Google account, and the Google Drive app, you are able to scan a document, and it will turn it into a PDF file automatically.  This can be stored in specific folders for simple organization.  

This tool not only applies to your tax organization, but your overall organization of your teacher documents.  Take those old copies that you have stored away in a 3 ring binder and get them digitized.  

Check out the following pictures for a quick tutorial.

1.  Get a Google account and download the Google Drive app on your device.

2.  Open up your Google Drive app and open the folder you want to put the file in.  Then click on the red "+" button to scan your document.

Select your camera to scan.

Here is your scanned document turned into a PDF file automatically.
