Hello, new user here. I'm trying to setup papermerge for a small multi-user environment. I want all users to scan to a shared group folder and not their local inbox or home folder. I created a group, and enabled the special folders: inbox and home. I then assigned my users to the group. The issue is that when i upload documents to these folders, the OCR or search function does not work. If i move the files back to a local user folder, OCR and search will work properly.

I cant seem to find anything to help me in troubleshooting this.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
