Download the APK

The project lives at this [repository on github](https://github.com/docspell/android-client). # Usage The app is very simple: - You maintain a list of upload URLs. These can be inserted conveniently by scanning the QR code. You need to create these upload urls at docspell as described [here](@/docs/webapp/uploading.md#anonymous-upload). - Start this app on your device and add a new URL - Then start some other app, and try to share a file. The *Share with* or *Open with* dialog should contain now the docspell app. Choose it. - You can now either select an URL from the app, or the upload begins immediatly if you set a default URL.

## Create an URL Add a new one With the *Plus* button. The name (A-1) is to distinguish it in the list. The url (A-2) is used to upload files. You can add multiple URLs. You can give permissions to access the camera and use (A-3) to scan a QR code from the screen. ## Edit and Default Tapping an item in the list switches the view that shows some options. You can set one URL as the default (C-1). When uploading a file, the screen to choose an URL is skipped then and the file is uploaded immediately. Other actions are editing the url (C-2), going back (C-3) or deleting the item (4). The screen (D) shows a default URL with a green background. ## Upload Use some other app, for example OpenNoteScanner, and share the resulting files using the *Share With* menu (E). Then this app opens and uploads the file to your server (F).
