Hey everyone!
I’d like to share a new open-source tool I’ve built: Paperless-NGX Uploader. It’s a lightweight Flutter-based Android app that lets you upload documents to your Paperless-NGX instance using the native Share intent.
Features:
One-tap upload: Share any document (like a PDF or image) from your favorite app, select “Paperless-NGX Uploader,” and it’ll send the file straight to your server.
Secure configuration: Set up your server URL, credentials (or access token if you use OpenID), and test the connection—all stored securely.
Smart tagging: The app fetches your tags from the server and lets you select or default tags for your uploads. Smart filtering helps you find the right tags fast.
Upload status: You’ll get real-time feedback—success returns to the background, failure shows a message.
Getting started:
- Grab the latest release (v1.5.3, as of August 8, 2025).
- Configure your server, credentials or token, and default tags.
- Share a document from any app → pick Paperless-NGX Uploader.
- Enjoy one-step document uploads—smooth and secure.
Why it exists:
This project is inspired by the older “Paperless Share” app but brings everything into the modern era with updated Android support.
