I have problems with the quality of scanned documents
Hello, I have problems with the quality of scanned documents. How to set the resolution when scanning? The size of the saved scans is only 100kB, it is not visible

Hi Dagmar3, out of curiosity, do you use cellular or WiFi data when scanning a document?
Can you switch, and let me know if you see any difference? If not, feel free to send me a screenshot of the scanned document, and how it looks on your end, once uploaded.

I like the convenience of the scan feature in the Android Dropbox app, I use it for work receipts. However the resolution is pretty poor, small text is sometimes too pixelated to read. Black and white is fine for me, but I could really do with scanning at higher resolution. The camera on my phone is capable of much higher resolution (if I take it as a photo I can read the small text easily), but I can't find any way of adjusting the resolution in the app. All I can find is Contrast and to choose between 'B&W', 'Whiteboard' or 'Original' settings.
Am I missing any settings anywhere? If not then could this be added as a feature?
