Acces denied error #13 when using subdirs in consume folder (/usr/share/hassio/share/paperless/consume)

[wfa001]

when copying files (pdf) with WinSCP into the consume folder (tree with folders) paperless gives an error 13 access denied for the files in the subfolders. Files in the root folder /usr/share/hassio/share/paperless/consume are 'consumed' without any problems

It's probably because the files arent created and thus owned by PID:GID 1000:1000 user

Same Problem here.

[BenoitAnastay]

You better use the paperless user and group ID to create the files and folder for consume directory

You can change default UID:PID of paperless in the add-on configuration tab, you can even use root (0:0)

[CR6-SE]

So I place 1000 for UID and 1000 for GID
or even 0 for UID and 0 for GID (root)

Thx for your Work!
