MS Lens app automatically move scans into cloud
April 29, 2025 at

Skype is no more.
So I was asked to transfer into Teams which I did.
Now all Lens scan automatically go to OneDrive.
Phone is S21 FE.
OneDrive nor Google drive is logged in.
Lens automatically automatically used Teams credentials and log in.
Anyone know how to fix this? I want scans to stay local.

vs building an app that can process it locally on your phone.

MS Lens always left it on my local drive.
This time, MS Lens did not even ask for my permission to upload to cloud.

Lens kept getting worse and more bloated, I gave up on it a while ago. Figuring I'd reinstall it if I really needed it and haven't found the need.
There's also Adobe Scan and Cam Scanner, but I can't say if they're any better. I used to use Cam Scanner before Lens, but recent reports in reviews indicate more cloud dependence and lots of background data.
I mostly use a real scanner.
Under system settings, accounts and backup, manage account, you may be able to choose not to use your Microsoft account for Lens.

I installed it and only option is "Start Mobile Upload" - what did I do wrong?
Under "Accounts and Backup" on Android no cloud accounts are logged in.
I see my emails and whatsapp logged in.

There's probably a setting somewhere to keep Lens from sending to the cloud.
Maybe try Adobe Scan.

- installed older version - at first it didn't help
- logged out - at first it didn't help
- offline mode saved it to local - but when I enable wifi, it will have an additional image asking for you upload to OneDrive
- updated Teams
Now after scanning, before saving there is a box for OneDrive - disabled - honestly I do not think that it was ever enabled - at least I did not enable it.
Now it n longer uploads. The additional image asking for you upload to OneDrive is no longer there
