Benefits of Document Scanning with ScanDoc feature in the ASD File Manager App

The following are the benefits of scanning documents with the ScanDoc feature in the ASD File Manager app:

2. Better Data Security:

You must have digital copies of important documents such as identification cards, passports, and other important files to protect them from destruction due to natural disasters or unfortunate circumstances such as theft or fire.

Scanned documents are much easier to share and send to others. You might remember sending physical documents through fax or courier and documents can take days to reach their destination. However, sharing scanned and digital documents over the internet takes only a few seconds.

4. Futureproof your Documents:

The longevity of physical documents is ensured by having scanned files saved. Paper documents degrade and their ink starts to fade over time. On the other hand, digital papers can be kept current and unaltered for a very long time and if a physical copy is ever required, it can always be printed.
