# Using and Managing Box Capture

<div className="article_labels_list" style={{display: 'none'}} dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{__html: "has_image , User , End User , Box Capture , Box Mobile , Article , Product Utilization , Established , Instruction"}} />

# What is Box Capture?

Capture is a mobile application that uploads photos and videos taken with your mobile device directly into Box, making it easy to share content no matter where you are.

Currently, Box Capture is only supported on iOS devices. You can download and install it from the [Apple App Store](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/box-capture/id1040325411?mt=8). The application is available in all [Box supported languages](https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360044192413).

Before using Box Capture with the iOS floating action button, be sure to enable the **Save to Library** setting in your device's **File & Folder Options** menu.

# Using Box Capture

## **Capturing** **Images, Videos, and Audio Files**

* Select the type of media you want to capture. Tap **Photo** to take pictures, **Video** to capture video, or **Audio** to record audio (you can also use Box Capture to **scan** documents, see "[Scanning Documents](#scanning-documents)" below for more info). If it is your first time using Box Capture, be sure to give the app permission to use your camera and microphone by tapping **Allow** when prompted.
* By default, Box Capture will save your captured content to a new folder named "Capture Uploads" (located in **Files**). However, you can choose to upload your image and video files to any folder in your Box account.
* To change the destination of your captured content, tap the **Folder** button near the bottom of the screen. Navigate to the folder where you'd like to save your content and tap **Use this Folder** to select the folder you are currently in.

</Frame>

* Tap the **circle** at the bottom of the screen to capture an image. If recording video or audio, tap the circle once to begin recording, and again to stop.
* You can also choose to import images or videos from your phone memory by tapping the **Gallery Icon** at the top right of the screen. If it is your first time performing this action, be sure to give Box Capture permission to access your gallery by tapping **Allow** when prompted. Tap an image or video to select it. You can select multiple images of videos and upload them all at once.
* When you capture photos and videos, Box Capture can also capture geolocation metadata. If this feature is enabled, all captured photos and videos will be tagged with metadata corresponding to where they were taken. You can toggle geolocation metadata on or off from the **settings** menu (see "Settings" below for more information).

**Note:** Box Capture's review setting is disabled by default for images, video, and audio, meaning your content will be uploaded to Box as soon as you capture it. To enable review, tap the **Review** slider at the bottom-right of the screen. See "[Review](#review)" below for more information.

<h2 id="scanning-documents">
  **Scanning Documents**
</h2>

* Select **Scan** to enter Document Scan mode. Once in scan mode, Box Capture will automatically detect any documents that are in the camera's line of sight. Make sure that the edges of your document are within the frame for best results. Wait for the green border to outline your document, then press the **circle** to scan. Don't worry if your document is titlted or at an angle, Box Capture will automatically crop and deskew your scan for you.

</Frame>

* Once your document is scanned, you will be taken to the Scan Sandbox screen. From here you can grayscale, manually crop, rotate, or delete your scan. You can also choose to take additional scans to create a multi-page document. When you are finished editing and adding pages, tap **Next.**
* **Review** is always enabled for document scans. Once you have finished editing your scanned pages, you will be taken to the review screen, where you can edit your document's name and add comments. For more info on the review screen, see "[Review](#review)" below.

**Note:**

Box also provides [document scanning](/en/box-mobile/how-to-guides-for-mobile/using-document-scanning) in the main Box Android app and main Box iOS app.

<h2 id="review">
  **Review**
</h2>

With **Review** enabled, you can view the content you capture before uploading it to Box. You can also add comments and tag collaborators.

* To enable Review, simply tap the **Review** slider at the bottom-right to move it to the on position.

  <img src="https://mintcdn.com/product-docs/miYvheuSw76MH4Yu/images/box-mobile/capture-2.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=miYvheuSw76MH4Yu&q=85&s=a76aeacb3a4417c5d5f7bf21d0440985" alt="capture-2" width="353" height="101" data-path="images/box-mobile/capture-2.png" />
</Frame>

* Now once you capture anything, you can review it before uploading it to Box.
* Edit your image's name and add comments by tapping “**Add a comment...”** near the bottom of the screen. You can tag people in comments just like you can in Box by adding an "@" symbol in front of their name. Tap **Save** in the top right of the screen when you are done.

</Frame>

* Tap **Save to Folder** at the top of the screen to change where your content is saved. Navigate to the folder where you'd like to save your content and tap "**Use this Folder"** to select the folder you are currently in. You can choose any folder in your Box account.
