I use the Google Drive app to scan documents into PDFs with my phone. I give them descriptive names and put them in a folder hierarchy that makes sense. It works pretty well. It might not be OCR'd for text search or anything but all I really need it for is to hold onto things in case a boomer org requires me to pony up a PDF (taxes, medical records, etc).
Anything I think I'll need or want to keep gets scanned, everything else is shredded once it is no longer useful. Paper docs are almost guaranteed to get lost - the only paper docs I intentionally hold long-term are things I don't want to lose in a fire, in a bug-out bag.
I haven't gotten around to it yet but I intend to eventually back up the critical documents locally or in some other cloud service to prevent random Google account locks from totally crippling me.
