Hi Martin,
To be able to use Paperless not only as a stand-alone program, the NC integration would be more than just desirable.

Has there been any progress after a year?
Sincerely, Marko

Hi, After assesment, We felt this was a much Better Nextcloud to Paperless Sync Scenario Flo-R1der/paperless-nextcloud-sync: Real-time synchronization between Paperless-ngx and Nextcloud via WebDAV using a custom Docker container. Ensures seamless, unidirectional data transfer for enhanced document management and accessibility.

though it works One Way, from Paperless to Nextcloud.

Equally, we Have this Official(with limited maintenance) NExtcloud to Paperless integration here

Flo-R1der/paperless-nextcloud-sync: Real-time synchronization between Paperless-ngx and Nextcloud via WebDAV using a custom Docker container. Ensures seamless, unidirectional data transfer for enhanced document management and accessibility.

With the 2 Integrations, it should 100% achieve 2way nextcloud Sync

With the Above 2 methods, and with the documentation noted on our paperless app here Implement and Document Nextcloud PAperless Integration · Issue #13 · compgeniuses/ns8-paperless-ngx

We think, its possible to implement a proper working 2 Way Sync for Nextloud to paperless and vice versa,

in terms of progress, that’s the best we can achieve as of yet, in terms of execution, I am afraid, We do not yet have the capacity to achieve this pocketwise

Hopefully soon we would

I am convinced that such workarounds are not recommended. It would be so easy, as NS8 offers everything you need.

In the simplest case:

  1. AD integration from Peperless

  2. Set group permissions

  3. create and integrate SMB share into NC

  4. Use this as the data directory for Paperless.

It will only be truly process-integrated when Paperless evaluates all data directories in NC, including their permissions.

Unfortunately, it is not enough to provide a single app in NS8 that is not integrated into the platform. That would be acceptable as a prototype if there were progress in development. But as it stands, it’s pretty disappointing.

As a developer, i would love to provide the most convenient way possible to have apps integrations, that works just like magic.

What you have proposed, is very great, however, if you readd through this discussions, this was vehemently opposed here Defining Shared Folder Access Volume - Development - NethServer Community

option 4 is where things breaks, unless you have a way around.

the shared articles are mainly for building knowledge graph in getting these done, as with time, we tend to forget links and sources

In my opinion, your use case (Defining Shared Folder Access Volume) is not comparable. My use case assumes that SMB shares are mounted as external drives in NC and that these shares are simultaneously used by Paperless as data directories.

If both NC and Paperless use the same group and user permissions in AD, SAMBA should manage the data in the correct permission context.

What I cannot judge is how NC manages the data in its database when it enters through the side door, so to speak.

However, what do I know…
