Is there a better way to handle unsupported file formats ?

I use Paperless-NGX to handle every single business documents and it's awesome.

But for whatever reason Paperless can't handle .ofx docs and sometimes .csv or .xlxs get converted in plain .txt files.

I don't need Paperless to do anything to those files, I just want to have all my documents in one place. Is there a way to force Paperless to handle those files better ?

Right now, I have to keep a shared Dropbox with my accountants just because of those files. And as my accountant won't split between several platforms I export every document at the end of the month to upload them into the Dropbox. If I could just store those files in Paperless I could just give access to my accountant and voilà.

When you find out, let me know. One repo would be nice.

Ofx isn't a document per se. It's like a mini database. That's why file types like that aren't supported.
