How do I connect my ASUSTOR NAS to PaperOffice AI?

ASUSTOR, not a dedicated connector

PaperOffice AI has no ASUSTOR connector. The device appears as SSH/SFTP (BYOS) or as an import source (SFTP or WebDAV). The PaperOffice AI clicks live in How do I connect a NAS as a storage mount?.

ADM firmware menus can differ slightly by version. What matters: SFTP reachable, dedicated user, dedicated folder.

On the ASUSTOR NAS

In ADM, enable SSH/SFTP under Services. Under access control, create a dedicated user and a dedicated share — not the Classic data folder. PaperOffice AI authenticates SFTP with a password. WebDAV, if enabled, is an import source, not BYOS.

Classic MariaDB or the PaperOffice Classic data folder on this NAS is not a mount path for PaperOffice AI. Export originals first: How do I export documents as original files?

In PaperOffice AI

  1. Document AIStorage mounts → Create.
  2. BYOS and SSH/SFTP if originals should stay on the ASUSTOR.
  3. Host (LAN address or hostname), port, user, password, base path to the new folder.
  4. Test the connection, download the BYOS key, save.
