Notes scanned document - save to files missing

I was trying to save a scanned document in iPhone Notes to a PDF (to files). However, the “save to files“ option was missing. I saw that others seem to have the same problem, but the problem is not answered.


Why does Apple close the discussions so others cannot answer and help?


I finally figured out, there is a selection box at the top. For some reason, it defaulted to “collaborate”. Change that to “send copy“. Then the save to files option appears where it supposed to be!!


just wanted to help others with this frustrating problem 😊

OK - so we just went through an Apple system update - I used to be able to flawlessly save my scanned documents from the Notes App into my google drive. (I used one note for a multiple number of separate scanned documents) - each one would be individually saved into my google drive to stay organized (Once these were saved I would then delete the note and repeat when needed). Now it is fumble and I can't seem to get things to perform like before. Any pointers here.
