I would love to use this, but the AppStore tells me I can't.

EDIT: This issue can be circumvented by getting paperless_share via FDroid. Works flawlessly.

It is impossible to find out which paperless server the app is connected to. There should be a visible indication of some kind.

I'm cannot login with the app. There is no visible error.

The only thing I see are 403 responses from the paperless-ng webserver:
192.168.1.189 - - [06/Jan/2021:10:50:10 +0100] "POST /api/token/ HTTP/1.1" 403 1382 "-" "Dart/2.10 (dart:io)" 192.168.1.189 - - [06/Jan/2021:10:50:10 +0100] "POST /api/token/ HTTP/1.1" 403 1382 "-" "Dart/2.10 (dart:io)"

I'm using a standard docker-compose setup with up to date images.

Hi,

When I try to share any document, the app brings up the login screen and doesn't proceed further even if I've provided the login details correctly. When I checked in the main app (i.e. opening paperless_share rather than trying to share a document from other app's share feature), it shows that I'm logged in successfully.

I'm attaching the relevant adb logs, please take a look. Let me know if you need any more information.

I'm trying to use PaperlessShare straight from Microsoft's Office Lens, or from Microsoft's OneDrive, but the app does not show up amongst the available choices of the Share menu (even when scrolling through the whole list).

Other less-mainstream apps do show up (For instance Gotify or Stakali), so there must be a way to register PaperlessShare with Microsoft's own Share menu.

For reference, in other apps, I am seeing PaperlessShare in the Share menu

I use the Brother iPrint&Scan app which is putting my scans into Downloads/Scan.

I don't know whether I can configure that but it would be awesome if this app could automatically get files from that directory and push it to paperless.

I don't know if this is possible tho as I am not an android dev

Hi and thank your for your work.

I had a hard time logging into paperless (ngx) yesterday (App version 1.1.4 on Redmi Note 9 pro running Android 11, paperless-ngx version 1.7.1). I entered my login credentials, the app shows " Logging in..." on the bottom of the screen and then... nothing happens.

Turns out, my phone autocorrected my username to a capital first letter (so "Jonas" instead of "jonas").

As there was no error message telling me what was wrong, it took me quite some time to find out.
I then tried to get other error messages, such as wrong server address or wrong password - no luck. Entering the IP address of paperless installation without http:// in front of it - same problem. No error message (and not working - I would assume the app adds http:// if not entered by the user).

The only error message I got was when I left the password blank - I guess that one is a simple check on submit and not depending on the message from the server.

So somehow server error messages are not transported to the user interface. Could you look into that? Thanks!

Hi,

due to the fact that paperless-ng doesn't support limiting/differentiating access based on user, I'm running three instances for us at home. I myself have access to two of them and wouldn't mind using the app to upload documents. Any chance you could implement multiple server definitions one could choose from when sharing a document? Thanks!

My paperless-ng instance runs on a local server (raspberry pi) and is available only in my home network.

My router assigns a hostname to this server, which happens to be raspberrypi.
In paperless_share, I am unable to login. The app will not even try to log in, but instead complains about this "malformed" hostname:

Server:
http://raspberrypi:8000/
Error: Server must be a valid URL.

This is kind of annoying, because the URL is valid. It's not a usual, worldwide/public URL, but there is nothing wrong with it, and paperless-ng works fine with my web browser. Also, several other apps work with this hostname, interacting with other pieces of software (not paperless) running on that server.

Could you please remove this strict checking of the URL?

In my opinion there is no need at all to prevent the app from trying to reach a "funny" URL. If it works, fine. If not, the user will see an error message anyway, I suppose, and will double check the hostname.

Hi!

Use Case
I download a document which gets saved on the device (there is no way for sharing without downloading in the app). On Android a notification will appear when the download is completed. I press the notification and the document opens in the default app for that filetype or if there is none, ask the user to select an app which is able to open the document type. The document gets opened and I click the buttons to share the document with paperless share.

Improvement
If the paperless share app would be associated with for example application/pdf I could upload the document by just clicking the notification and choosing to open the file with paperless share. This would reduce the needed clicks significantly. Same when browsing files in an explorer.

Details
https://pub.dev/packages/flutter_handle_file should make it possible to implement this with minimal effort for both iOS and Android.
If only Android is relevant it should work by just adding some intent-filter properties in the AndroidManifest.xml.
I guess some code to handle the file path is also needed.

Would you be interested in this feature? If yes, are you interested in a PR for this or do you want to have a look at it yourself?

Hey there, just wanted to tell that I would find it extremely great if

• you publish this on f-droid (or play, whatever is more simple)
  it's a great idea to scan the daily stuff with the phone and send it over to paperless-ng
• you actually manage to set up a pull request to jbauers paperless app and get it going with paperless-ng as well - I could imagine he could help with that!

Adding my server to Paperless Share went without any issue.
But when I share a PDF, jpeg or any other document the upload circle will spin but never stops. With small jpeg it will work.

The same behaviour is seen when using my exposed hostname (https via nginx) and using my internal server (http://:8000)

I believe it doesn't have to do with client_max_body_size because without nginx the same issue occurs.
No lines are written in the paperless log when upload circle is spinning.

My paperless instance is protected by a self signed cert. I imported the cert into the android certificate store, so no application is showing an error message about it.

But paperless share does not log in, it only shows "Einloggen..." without any error. Switching to http (without tls) works.

Please a) show an error and
b) accept certificates that were includes into the cert store.

Hi,

today, Google Play updated this app to the latest version.
After the Update, i cannot really start the app anymore.
After pressing the icon, the screen opens a blank, gray activity and does nothing else.

Same if i try to share a pdf via the app to my server. No circle loading or anything else. Just a blank gray screen.

Instead of popping up a message every time a file is done uploading, a upload progress in the notifications would be awesome.

Alternatively you could show progress and a history in the app.

Within PaperlessShare I tried to assign a tag to all uploaded documents. Unfortunately PaperlessShare shows only the first 25 tags from the server. This seems to be caused by the pagination feature of the paperless server (https://github.com/jonaswinkler/paperless-ng/blob/05c36f91cfa5613bdea5b3c490774cc40b586eeb/src/paperless/views.py) which doesn't seem to be handled by PaperlessShare.

I don't know how exactly the API works but maybe it is possible to set the pagination size as a parameter of the http request and just set it big enough?!

I am using PaperlessShare 1.1.4 and paperless-ng

Hi,

it would be a nice feature if the app supported predefining a certain tag which is always used when submitting any document (e.g. a user name in my usecase). The REST endpoint natively offers this, so it would be as easy as adding an optional configuration item which would add any text entered to the "tags" form field in the post request.

Unfortunately, I don't know any flutter myself, otherwise I'd just do it. Since this is such a simple feature, maybe it won't take you that long. Thanks a bunch for the minimalist and useful app!

Cheers

First, many thanks for your app! It makes my filing habits so much easier :-)
I've been using your app for almost a year now, no issues at all! Wonderful timesaver.

I just encountered a small issue. As I use paperless-ng at home, I do not need authentication.
As soon as I start to use the autologin feature (PAPERLESS_AUTO_LOGIN_USERNAME - https://paperless-ng.readthedocs.io/en/latest/configuration.html#software-tweaks), I can not share using paperless_share. It just spins and never completes.

Logging out and trying to login again fails without any error messages: It shows the modal Logging in... and then it goes back to the login screen without actually logging in.

After disabling AUTO_LOGIN_USERNAME, the app instantly resumes working.

Hi

It would be great if the ability to share multiple files at once was added.

My workflow, using TurboScan, is to scan a batch of documents. I then have to share each individually, rather than select all then share, as paperless share doesn't support sharing of multiple selected files.

Thanks

Phil
