Description

I currently use nextcloud to auto "upload" to paperless.

I basically do it with a script that captures the relative path of a base folder (e.g. it is in /data/nextcloud/user1/paperless/scans/expenses/2024/03/receipts/MyReceipt.pdf and copies it to /mnt/paperless/consume/scans/expenses/2024/03/receipts/MyReceipt.pdf)
Paperless is configured to use each folder as a tag.

It would be neat to have something like this integrated that works without having the paperless consume directory mounted to the same host.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the existing integration's upload path and determine how a remote Paperless upload could replace the shared consume directory. Done should mean files can be uploaded without a mounted consume directory while preserving tags derived from their relative folders.
