Files by Google app is getting a new "scan" button that lets you digitize documents

Scanned documents are saved as PDF files under a new "Scanned" collection under "Documents" (the actual location is /Files by Google/Scanned).

Like the document scanner in the Drive app, this feature leverages ML Kit's new Document Scanner API to recognize and process documents on-device.

This feature is rolling out now for many users of Pixel devices. Here are some screenshots.

Could it be related to this?

P.S. Did anyone else ha...
