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. -

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
