Where Does CamScanner Store Scans on Android?
Where CamScanner keeps scans and settings on Android for backup, sync and full account moves.
Last updated
CamScanner splits Android state two ways: documents synced through its account, plus camera captures and settings local to each phone. The split decides what moves by itself on every device.
Sign in restores cloud docs; local scans need uploading first. Free watermarks differ from premium exports, but storage works the same. Reinstalls without an account lose local scans on every phone, so sign in first.
Where CamScanner stores this, by platform
/storage/emulated/0/CamScanner
Documents sync through the account with camera captures local. Upload before switching phones. Verify docs after signing in.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move CamScanner to a new phone?
Sign in with the same CamScanner account and let docs sync, then verify on the new phone. Local scans need uploading first. Fax credits attach to the account, not files.
Where are CamScanner camera scans?
Open CamScanner settings and read the storage entries. Camera scans land in shared folders while docs sync through the account. The entries always show the live paths after updates.
