Google's "graveyard" is growing every month. Google's latest victim is Stack: PDF Scanner, a service that allows users to scan and manage documents.

This time the reasoning behind the decision to remove the app is completely logical, so we don't think it's the company's fault. According to the search giant, the same functionality provided by Stack: PDF Scanner has been added to the Google Drive.
If you are one of the users of the service, Google is trying to make the transition to Drive much easier, so you will have access to a tool that allows you to export all Stack documents to Google Drive.
Obviously, there's no point in continuing to use Stack: PDF Scanner now that Google has announced that it will be shutting down the app in just a few months, so if you need to scan and organize important documents, start using Google Drive.

Here's how to export documents from Stack to Google Drive:
- Open the Stack app
- Tap Account / Settings / Export all documents to Drive
- Confirm by clicking Export.
It's a very simple process that will move all your documents to the My Drive of Google Drive. You'll easily recognize them as the app will create a green folder titled "Stack".
Now, if you just want to export a single document from the Stack service to Google Drive, you will need to follow this simple process:
- Open the Stack app
- Tap to open the document you want to export
- Tap Share
- Select the application to export (Google Drive in this case)

Please note that Stack: PDF Scanner will continue to work for a few more months. However, starting the week of September 23, 2024, support for this service will be removed, so make sure you have exported all your documents to Google Drive by then.
