I think many of those interested in this project already have some kind of digital document archive. In many cases simply folder structures with PDFs in it.

It would be great be able to mount (e.g. via WebDAV or something more modern) the folder structure of papermerge for desktop search and import of documents.

This feature requests overlaps with REST API - what I mean, is that you can import documents from virtually anywhere by writing you own little bash/python/any other language + REST API registered key.
Here is a documentation.
Here is REST API feature demo.

Basically importing a file can be as simple as:

curl -H "Authorization: Token <REST_API_KEY>" -T /home/eugen/documents/demo/2019/berlin1.pdf <PAPERMER HOST URL>/api/document/upload/

Thanks. Does the API also allow to upload to anything else than upload? The documentation is not clear on that.
