[0m Am>> Someone shared that you can setup a share, and have an andriod app scan

[0m Mi> That's how i do it:

[0m Mi> i use an epson gt-15000 under linux with VueScan (commercial but good
 Mi> software), OSS-DocumentScanner and Material Files on Android.

[0m Mi> My paperlessNGX is running in a LXC on a little miniPC proxmox system. The
 Mi> paperlessNGX consume folder is also a SMB share, so i can save files from

 Mi> scanner via /mnt/paperless to it.

[0m Mi> sudo mount -t cifs -o username=youruser,vers=3.0 //server/share
 Mi> /mnt/paperless

[0m Mi> i guess the recommended scanners can connect directly via
 Mi> FTP/NFS/SMB/SMTP, but i am ok with storing the scanned PDFs to my
 Mi> /mnt/paperless that is mounted to the SMB share. PaperlessNGX picks the
 Mi> files up and processes them from there.

[0m Mi> and if i am not at home, i connect to my home LAN with my android phone

 Mi> access the paperless SMB share when i am not home and put scans in there.

[0m Mi> Mindsurfer

[0m Mi> PS: to have my folder connected to the smb share automatically when i

[0m Mi> //LAN-IP-HERE/paperless-consume /mnt/paperless cifs guest,uid=1000,gid=100

thanks for sharing the details. I've gotten paperless-ngx installed and playing with oss-scanner; will have to work on the smb share. I may move it onto my minipc from my pc also[0m
