It’s had this for a few years. Microsoft has its Office Lens both as a freestanding app, and built in to the combined Office Android app. Adobe has a pretty good scanning app too, though I’ve moved away from Adobe anything. All of these companies are chasing after corporate clients who might already have the app installed as part of their enterprise subscription. Probably helps with locking in if employees are used to opening the Drive app for their scanning, as opposed to a freestanding app.
Since when it had this feature?
And why putting this feature in Google drive instead of Google lens or Google camera?
I’ve been uninstalling Google drive as the first thing to do when setting a new phone since 2012
It used to be a separate app, but it got silently abandoned. The Google way!

This is exactly me. Never felt the need of the Google Drive app till now.
Oh man you guys have been missing out. I first used this feature when I started my current job, nearly a decade ago.
