Question: I’ve changed my phone. How to transfer all my documents to the new phone?
Answer: You can transfer your documents by Cloud sync:
Please log in your CamScanner account on www.camscanner.com on PC first to check whether your docs on old phone are synced. If not, please pull the doc list on your old phone to sync.
To find your CamScanner login ID:
open the CS app on your old phone–>tap the button on top left–>tap your account name
Log in with the same account on your new phone. Your docs will be downloaded after a few minutes.
Please note CamScanner doesn’t sync in the background, so please connect your phone with wifi and do NOT close the app otherwise the download may be suspended.
CamScanner syncs only under wifi by default. If you want to sync also with mobile data, please set it in CS settings–sync–auto sync–over wifi or mobile network.

Question

I’ve tapped the backup button but still cannot find the documents in SD card, why? How can I export documents to my new phone?

Answer

1. If you have backed up documents in the old phone, you can find the docs in /intsig/camscanner/databases_backup. If you’ve ever set to save the docs to external SD card, please check the docs in SD card/Android/data/com.intsig.camscanner/files/Intsig/CamScanner/databases_backup

After backing up, please copy the whole CamScanner folder from the old phone to your new phone’s internal SD card. After copying, open CamScanner app, go to settings and tap “Security and Backup”. Choose “Restore” then you can restore all the documents.


2. Transferring documents may cause data corruption, so the restoring may fail sometimes. To avoid the problem, we recommend you to register a CamScanner account after backing up. By signing into CamScanner account, all docs will be synced to the cloud (www.camscanner.com). You can sign into the web on PC to check synced documents. After syncing, you can retrieve all docs by signing into the CamScanner app with the SAME account on your new phone.

This guide can also help you in some special cases.

Question: I’ve changed my phone and copied the whole CamScanner folder to the new phone, but when I open CamScanner app on the new phone, the copied documents do not show up. Why? How can I restore those documents?


Answer: The CamScanner files CANNOT be restored simply by moving the [CamScanner] folder to the new phone. If you still have access to your old phone, you have three ways to transfer data:


1.With sync feature
If you have a CamScanner account in your old phone, please sign in to CamScanner on www.camscanner.com to check your files there. Then sign in with the SAME CS (camscanner) account on your new phone, your files will be downloaded automatically. If you don’t have a CamScanner account, you can sign up for it either on the web or in the app and then sign in on your old phone to sync files.


2. If you have backed up the data in CamScanner by clicking CamScanner settings – security & backup – backup on your old phone, you can restore your data by moving the [IntSig] folder into the root directory of internal sd card of your new phone and then clicking CamScanner Settings->Security & Backup->Restore.


3. The last way is to import the images into CamScanner maunually.
The images are saved in /CamScanner/.images/.bak (It is a hidden folder). You can select and share them to CamScanner in your phone again. Sorry that all file names, tags and notes cannot be restored in this way.
Note: As CamScanner files cannot be restored simply by moving its folder in sdcard, it is recommended to back up CamScanner data by the CS cloud service in case of any unexpected data loss.

Question: I’ve deleted a document by mistake. Can I restore it?
Answer: If the document had been synced to the Cloud, you can restore it from the “Recycle Bin” of www.camscanner.com on PC.

And the Basic users can restore documents which were deleted in the past 7 days. For premium users, the limit is 30 days.

Documents that hadn’t been synced cannot be restored at any cost.
