It’s perfect! Do you guys already do this?

I open a letter, I take it’s picture with FairScan. The FairScan-folder on my android device gets syncthinged to the ingest folder for Paperless-ngx on my “server”. Paperless imports it, deletes the file and sets the new documents tag to inbox. I decide if the document goes to the binder for important stuff, or if I just toss it in a binder with all the paper I most likely will never touch again. Next time I look at Paperless, I edit all documents with the inbox tag and remove the tag.

    Sounds like a great workflow!

    Unfortunately, I just can’t get syncthing to run in the background of my phone without chewing up the battery.

      You can get it to run at time intervals. E.g. once an hour for 5 minutes. That’s not bad on battery for me. I actually have mine once every 24 hours for 30 minutes so it can successfully transfer a few gigs of Signal backups.
