- The import assistant brings in legacy files in one go. It skips files that already exist in the Workspace.
Questions and answers
Frequently asked questions about this download
Do we need to install anything on the NAS?
No. PaperOffice uses SFTP or WebDAV; your NAS provides both.
Does PaperOffice modify our files?
In“Index” mode, the originals stay unchanged. In“Import” mode, you decide whether the file stays, is moved or is deleted.
Which NAS work?
Any NAS with SFTP, such as from Synology, QNAP or ASUSTOR. Over WebDAV, the index works only with HTTPS. PaperOffice recognizes Synology port 5006 as HTTPS on its own.
