Microsoft's Office Lens scanning app finally made the jump away from Windows Phone and onto other mobile platforms earlier this year (http://www.pcworld.com/article/2927332/microsofts-office-lens-scanner-app-for-android-leaves-beta.html), giving users an easy way to capture physical documents and turn them into files for Microsoft's suite of software.</p><p>
On Monday, the company pushed updates to both the iOS and Android apps, upgrading their capabilities for business users who are looking for the ability to turn their phone into a scanner that integrates with Microsoft's products. </p><p>
On iOS, users can now sign into their Office 365 work or school accounts, so that images they save can go either into a personal OneNote or OneDrive account or a OneDrive for Business account. That distinction can be key for enterprise IT managers who want to make sure that the documents people are scanning with their phones are governed by a company's data retention and security policies rather than floating around inside their personal cloud storage accounts. </p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2996647/apps/microsofts-office-lens-scanner-app-levels-up-on-ios-and-android.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
