Upload photos, tag locations, and scan barcodes on the mobile app

Take pictures and upload them

If you have editor-level or higher access on a sheet, or if you’re filling out a form with a File Upload field, you can take a picture or upload attachments directly to your sheet, row, or form submission.

After you select the files to upload, you see the file confirmation screen. Select the Menu button next to any image file in the list to rename, delete, or edit the attachment. Then, select Edit from the menu to crop, rotate, or mark the image.

Scan barcodes 

Use the mobile app and the camera on your mobile device to add information to your sheet/form or to search for information by scanning a barcode.

You can scan barcodes using the barcode icon   to add data or search for existing data:
