Choose a source
A folder on NAS or server via SFTP, an S3 bucket, a WebDAV directory or an IMAP mailbox. The connection comes from a storage mount.
Connectors · AI-DMS module
Connectors monitor folders, buckets and mailboxes and pull new files into the workspace automatically.
SFTP, S3, WebDAV and IMAP. With file filter, interval, post-import rule and the processing depth of your workspace.
Trusted by leading companies worldwide
How it works
A connector links a storage mount to a workspace. It checks the source at the configured interval and hands new files to processing.
A folder on NAS or server via SFTP, an S3 bucket, a WebDAV directory or an IMAP mailbox. The connection comes from a storage mount.
File pattern such as *.pdf, subfolders yes or no, interval from minutes to weeks, post-import action keep, move or delete. For IMAP: unread only, attachments, mark as read.
Every new file lands in the target workspace and runs through its processing depth: OCR, classification, IDP fields, embeddings. Workflows and webhooks react to the result.
Capabilities
Connectors replace scanner plugins, scripts and manual uploads from mailboxes.
SFTP or SSH folders on NAS and servers, optionally with all subfolders.
Any IMAP mailbox: unread messages only, extract attachments, mark as read.
S3-compatible storage with prefix filter, WebDAV directories from Nextcloud or ownCloud.
Import only certain types: *.pdf, *.docx, *.jpg or your own patterns.
From minutes to weeks. Credit usage per run is shown before saving.
Store only, Basic, Premium or Ultra, as configured in the target workspace.
Status, files, errors and logs of every run in real time.
Keep, move or delete source files. The lifecycle stays in your hands.
Comparison
The difference shows on Monday morning, when the weekend brought 200 scans and 80 invoice emails.

Create storage mounts, start import jobs and subscribe to webhooks so your system knows immediately when a document is processed.
Scan the source, start the import, query progress and file list per job, retry from checkpoint when needed.
Signed events such as document.processed with filters per workspace, retries on failure.
Mounts and imports are also available as tools in Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor.
Security and compliance
Every run logs which file was fetched when from which source and where it was processed. Credentials stay encrypted in the storage mount, processing runs in EU data centers.
Frequently asked questions
Folders via SFTP or SSH on NAS and servers, S3-compatible buckets, WebDAV directories and IMAP mailboxes. Google Drive, OneDrive and Dropbox connect as a storage mount via OAuth.
Yes. The storage mount holds the connection and the encrypted credentials. The connector picks a path or mailbox on it and the rules for the import.
At the interval you set, from a few minutes to weeks. Before saving you see how many credits a run costs. A run can be triggered manually at any time.
You define that per connector: keep, move to another folder or delete. For IMAP mailboxes the message can be marked as read.
As deep as the target workspace is configured: store only, Basic with OCR and classification, Premium with extended fields and embeddings, or Ultra with checks and knowledge graph.
Yes. The live log shows every run with files, status and errors. Via webhook your system learns immediately when a document is processed.
Yes. Storage mounts, import jobs and webhooks can be created and monitored via the REST API, processing itself runs through the AI-DMS endpoints.
