    I really like this app, but I agree with everyone. GIVE ME AN EASY WAY TO SAVE THE FILE TO A KNOWN FOLDER! Saved images seem to go to some obscure place -- not even to the folder named "Office Lens". Where do they go???? The only way I've found to do this is do a save, look at Recent Files, then move to where I really want them. This is a really clunky solution for an app that's otherwise very elegant.

    If it had widgets, then we could set up our save locations for most common uses on different widget buttons and use main program button when we wanted to save someplace unusual.

    Then it would be much faster to use. If I push my math class widget it opens to the screen to take a picture, allows me to modify,delete, or save picture and then immediately returns to picture screen for next lecture note.

    This program is great for pics of PowerPoint lectures

    Would be great if if I could just save to my default folder called receipts

    I spent time to find out where the new version has saved my Officelens photos.
    Since i use OneDrive with selected folders, i could not find them.
    Eventually i discovered a folder named Apps on OneDrive (cloud) and then added it to my list of synchronised folders and now it works...
    Pity

    What is the point in all microsoft (android) (and i am guessing windows phone also) apps if the app saves the file to where it want's .That is like taking my paperwork and throwing it in the open air . I can't find the documents , Microsoft is making a mess .
    That applies to , android : outlook , one drive , lens . Unfortunately google (chrome and email) and yahoo (mail) is also participating in the mess . And there are browsers manufacturers too : maxthon , firefox, dolphin .

    UWP app works great.
    When saving to OneDrive app should allow to select folder, app should find all OneDrive locations including shared one's.

    In addition to being able name the picture upon capture , I would add the option to specify save location based on the information being captured. For example receipts would have a different default save location than business cards.

    When saving file as PDF, allow choice of OneDrive folder (file control) and file naming.

    The name upon capture would be a huge help- I use it as and expense / receipt capture tool

    I can do this when uploading to Google Drive within Office Lens. I'm a little perplexed that Google offer a better tool for this than Microsoft within a Microsoft app uploading to a Microsoft service.

    Along with Business Card, Photos, Documents, and Whiteboard, give the option for a Receipts tab. All of the options should automatically go to a dedicated One Drive folder, not added to existing, with the option to change the default of course. Cheers!

    I think any application that creates content should by default allow the user to magage that content.

    With Lens, a default save location, the ability to create, rename and delete and move files and folders would be nice.

    Also, the ability to remember the last save location

  • Loren Paulsen commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Give me a setting that allows me to opt into a "save as" dialog. I'd also like to be able to override the location sometimes.
