    Windows Phone's app is sending all file to OneDrive/Apps/Office Lens folders, and I'm totally OK with this. Please, let this be the default location!

    Would also be great having the option after each finnischen scan to choose a sharepoint Dokument Library and/or a OneDrive Folder where the File can be saved, renamed, etc.

    This is ridiculous. Here we are in July 2018 and still there is no way to, not only specify a default location for Lens, but to find out where it is putting the pictures without performing a whole drive search?!?, let alone specifying a preferred location for each scan!
    What is Microsoft doing? This is nonsensical

    I'm looking for a scanner app and was happy to see that Microsoft had one that could upload to OneDrive. I was shocked to see that there was no auto-upload feature, and more shocked that you couldn't specify the folder you want to save to. How in the world is this not a standard feature? Especially since people have apparently been asking for this feature for over three years! I'll be using a different scanner app until this is implemented, although if they haven't implemented it after this long I guess there isn't much hope.

    Doesn't this problem apply to OneDrive generally? At least from my iPhone, when I upload anything to Onedrive, I can choose a folder but I can't modify the filename upon saving.

    Agree with the previous feedback. Office lens needs to be able to target a certain file, other than the default office lens file, in onedrive.

    This would really save time. It is tedious having to save to the phone Gallery, then share it to One Drive afterward. Also, no default folder is remembered so we have to browse the folder hierarchy each time. Lastly, we then have to go into Gallery and delete the file we never wanted to save there in the first place. Please implement, thanks.

    Hello,
    I often use Office Lens, but the way where the files are saved in OneDrive is very confused.
    Please add an option to select the target OneDrive folder at save time.

    Thanks

    I agree with the feedback. I've used TurboScan and Dropbox before and it gives the option of which folder to save into. And then it can default there but you can always change your mind. I also don't like that the file stays visible in the Lens app and you can download it from OneDrive.

    I was tryign to switch from Turboscan / dropbox to Lens/Onedrive for security reasons. But there is a significant loss in control and capability in Lens.

    Can't find any Office Lens scanned pdfs on OneDrive anymore. Completely broke my workflow. Now i spend 15 minutes to find each scanned pdf saved into OneDrive. a physical document scanner is starting to look like the better option again unless i can specify the folder to save and find my Office Lens PDFs

    Please, this is a very requested issue.
    I had a flow running from a folder, now this just doesn't work anymore...

  • Nils commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    I'd settle for just being able to assign a folder like I could in earlier version. Todays version is a disaster. It is so typical of Microsoft to destroy applications and completely ignore user aspects.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Being able to choose locations where files are saved for all scenarios. At best this app is very confusing and wastes at lot of people's time. I am looking for an alternative until you fix it.

  • Stein Erik Paulsen commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Not having the ability to chose a folder in OneDrive upon saving is a minus. In General the saving bit of the app is rather confusing.

  • Serge commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    For me, renaming and choosing a custom OneDrive location, can be separated into two different requests; the custom location to me has a much higher priority. As others apparently, I use INBOX to process new files/documents.

    Would be highly appreciated if this addition was to be implemented sooner rather then later. Considering all other apps and systems on the market, I would even call this a bug.

  • Mark commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Would really like to be able to determine the save location so files are in the correct folder from the start. Including profiles so that different save locations are handy would be even better. Really keeps me from using this product more.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Yup I never can remember where it saved the files, and every time wish I could rename it.
