I've been thinking of pretty much the same thing ever since I got a Fujitsu Scansnap scanner to digitize all the documents I have. Tagging is often more appropriate to categorize my documents than hierarchical folders. Spotlight comments may make up for this although they are a bit cumbersome. Right now I only enter a comment for files I know I want to find back. I have also considered Evernote to handle my document storage (and always accessible, including search) accompanied with its tagging features but I found it too slow and plain directories combined with Spotlight worked better for me. These directories are in my Dropbox folder so I can access them anywhere, some hierarchies are applied for Bank statements etc. but most files are in one big folder. It's a pity there is no good searching in documents from the Dropbox site.
