Feature description
Add the possibility to scan documents on the "+" button.
Currently it is only possible to create new folders or files, but the ability to scan documents using the camera and create a pdf would provide an easy way to add physical documents to your files.
Why do you want this feature?
I am slowly trying to de-google myself, and I noticed that one of the actions that I always did without thinking about it was using google drive anytime I had to scan a document. There are only a limited amount of alternatives (eg Genius Scan) that, albeit working well, are still bugged by ads or subscription models.
I think that such a feature will complement well the offering of fossify and will attract even more people that, like me, are trying to escape the grasp of big corporations.
Additional information
It could be that this is a feature that would also fit on the Gallery app. However, after thinking about it a bit, I decided to post it here because I think documents are better handled within the file manager. Also, the action of pressing "+" and "scan" would mimik perfectly what users already do on the google drive app
