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
I am convinced that such workarounds are not recommended. It would be so easy, as NS8 offers everything you need.
In the simplest case:
AD integration from Peperless
Set group permissions
create and integrate SMB share into NC
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.
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.
