About PDF Scanner & Editor - Foldio
Foldio is a PDF scanner and personal document library for Android โ scan, organise into folders, and back up to your OWN Google Drive. No subscription, no ads, no account.
Build a library you actually own: every scan is saved as an ordinary PDF, kept on your device, and (optionally) mirrored to your own Google Drive โ never to Foldio's servers. Open your files on any device, in any app. Nothing is locked in.
If you're looking for a Microsoft Lens alternative or a CamScanner replacement that doesn't charge monthly, this is it.
