So, 2 things: 1. I like OCR, but I don’t like relying on it for search in a vast pool of important documents. Filing in labeled folders means I’m not relying on some obscure algorithm or the accuracy of an OCR tech to make my digital files practical/accessible. This proved the correct way to think when I moved files from Dropbox, to GDrive and then ultimately iCloud. One service would find what I wanted, the next would not or find some file based on an unexpected match. All that meant I had to spend a significant time digging around. With folders, I have manual organization as a base and can still use search and OCR as a convenience. 2. I find value in the physical files only as a basic backup to a digital outage. Computer fails, phone is left somewhere, internet goes out, etc. it’s not all happened at once yet, but there has been several occasions where just going into the closet and grabbing the hard file was easiest.
