Feature as in Dropbox, Scan document. For easily uploading receipts, letters, etc.

Love Proton products. Have the highest level of paid membership. Simply Can Not switch away from PCloud for documents until Scanning Docs is part of the Proton Drive iOS App. Sure, there are workarounds, so many third party apps that can scan a document and even store it (Pcloud, OneDrive, Genius Scan, Google Docs, Box, ScanSnap, so many) that is seems like a basic feature. If you wanted to combine one of these apps with Proton Drive you then move around multiple menus and sub-menus in iOS to upload to Proton Drive. That is far to cumbersome for something I use constantly. Especially when many other apps make it so effortless. Please add the feature so I can use Proton Drive.

This is a must have for me. Google drive handles it within their app and with iOS it natively does that when uploading to files or into a note.
I would love it if this proposed feature allowed you to do in bulk (that is scanning all into one document and in multi doc bulk where you can keep scanning each document and each document is treated as a separate file)

I use the scanning feature A LOT - right now, on iOS, I need to go to the iPhone "Files", then hit the scan button, save the scan ON THE iPHONE, then go to proton drive and import the document.
I have tried directly scanning documents via the "Files" app on iOS and then navigating to the Proton folder and then scanning, but often that leads to a crash or unsaved document (based on number of pages scanned).

+1 Currently use Tresorit which is end to end encrypted like ProtonDrive, and they have this feature as well: https://support.tresorit.com/hc/en-us/articles/360015739973-Scan-and-upload-documents

A big thumbs up - this would go hand in hand with a sensible workflow especially regarding digitization of personal documents, which I would much rather have in my Proton Drive than where they currently are 😣

This is one of the functions I use most in both Google drive and Onedrive. Full switch to Proton drive paid subscription when scan to pdf with basic edit (crop, auto straighten, etc) and save to file (with editable file name on save).

Tesorit has had this feature for a long time: a secure(!) scan-to-pdf plus automatic upload with full end-to-end encryption. That's why I' still using Tresorit. I'd be happy to fully migrate to Proton but this scan feature is absolutely crucial to me.

I'm pretty sure Proton Pass forked a document scanner on GH. So this might be something that integrates with both Drive and Pass in the future, which would be awesome

Adobe scan type of functionality, specifically including a receipt, guarantee, and document vault, would be a game-changer.

@Luke,
Two reasons:
1. My phone doesn't natively support scanning documents (i.e., taking a photo, trimming to the page edges, converting to a PDF),
2. Convenience - I can scan a document using Dropbox (which I would like to replace with Proton Drive) with 2 clicks. -
Luke commented
Both platforms already do a great job providing native tools to scan document, why not use them and just share the document.

Agreed. A scan app similar to Adobe Scan that puts your scanned pdfs directly into Proton Drive would be ideal.

https://www.pfu.ricoh.com/global/ probably the biggest to start with
I currently use a ScanSnap (fujitsu era) Document Scanner to scan to their ScanSnap Cloud product which then saves into my OneDrive for Business (other options currently include Box/DropBox/Drive/Evernote)
I suspect this may need to come from the other side of the fence but if enough interested is generated from this side then it may add weight to a partnership
