Description

The current ownCloud Android app has different options to upload files to an ownCloud server, such as selecting them from the internal storage, selecting content from other apps or uploading photos directly from the camera.

It would be great to include a new option which enables the user to take a new picture with the camera and select the edges of handwritten notes or printed documents. After that, the image will be processed, adjusted to a better view and uploaded to a folder on the server.

Research direction

The issue names no files or tests; start by reviewing the existing camera-upload option and the other upload paths it describes. Define the capture, edge-selection, image-adjustment, and folder-upload flow, then verify that a scanned handwritten note or printed document reaches the user's ownCloud folder.
