I have used DEVONthink in the past, and paperless more recently, and only more recently still discovered a real need for this in my life for personal reasons. Since I am at the point of picking a route, I am curious of how you find DEVONthink and its sync needs relative to something like a web app. I don't find myself with an always-on Mac these days, switching my desk between my personal and work laptop, and I would prefer have always access to the files, as well as sharing that access with my wife. I see DEVONthink has a companion portable app, but curious if you use it and what you think of it, though honestly I'm unsure the "scan anything to a SMB share" pattern is unbeatable by features elsewhere.

Really, I have nothing but good to say about the experience. It just works. But I’m still experimenting with just plain files in iCloud. 99% of my mobile file access is to pull up scans of vaccination cards and things like that. It’s basically read-only from my iPhone (and iPad while I was using it). My phone’s Files app is full capable of handling that use case for me.
