   makes sense - but note: especially with receipts, there are use-cases where a tax authority might come back 7+ years later, or where heirs might need the proof after your passing (!) - and if they don't have it, it might cost them very

   thanks for sharing - what do you use for colorization?

   thanks for sharing - for Mint, are you willing to type in your password to provide access to your other services/accounts? that has been a security bridge too far for me to date :) also, are there runners-up to Mint?

   besides the security aspect (which I agree is major and often unavoidable), local storage has numerous other advantages, among which: (1) search can be dramatically and noticeably faster, (2) access cannot be removed/degraded when trav

   I've personally been asked by authorities to produce documents that are 30+ years old. It's a bit surreal and I wonder if they could even authenticate them...

   how active is paperless-ngx? it seems very much oriented in the direction I'd like to go. I once imagined setting up a camera rig over my desk so that any paper that I looked at got auto-captured and automatically archived without an

    I'm very grateful to everyone for sharing their thoughts and suggestions on a topic that is near-and-dear to my heart. Does anyone have access to an AI into which they could copy-paste this whole page and have it extract a ranked list

    thanks for sharing - physical objects are definitely big memory unlockers. Books are big ones for me. Do you ever index your metal box by taking pictures of its contents so you have them accessible and not forget anything in there?

    thanks for sharing - it's a great feature. one problem I've found with notes is that they don't appear to have any kind of export mechanism - i.e., you're tied to apple and that app. Is that right?

    If you want a standalone app, Microsoft Lens is actually pretty good for creating pdfs from pictures. I agree it's great to be able to do this natively on iphone without third-party apps.

    thanks for sharing Trustworthy - I'll check it out. if you're willing to share: do you worry about their security or do you feel that they're at least as secure as what you could do yourself or other services might do?

    thanks for pointing to SyncThing - I'll check it out. if you're willing to share: 1. what scanner do you use? 2. what do you do for documents that might be in two places? ex: car insurance, health insurance - in the insurance fold

    one approach might be to use multiple icloud accounts to shard the photos data by what you want to sync locally vs not (for example by set of years, i.e., myname1980to1990, myname1991to2000, etc). it's an added pain no doubt.

    I've gotten as far as buying the photo printer but picking out what to print out of the flood of photos - and then where to keep the paper - has kept me from actually printing :)

    I did something like this for a long time. One of the tools I found useful is Microsoft Lens mobile app: it's almost as quick as taking a picture of a doc, but it makes it easy to create a pdf of all the docs and bundle up multiple pag

    if you're willing share: very roughly, how long did it take to setup and how long does it take to run incrementally?

    If you're willing to share: curious how you structure your folders (all chronological? by entity producing the document? by your own use?). And also whether you periodically export your outlook inbox and, if so, what you do with the e

    I had/have filing cabinets. The problem is that over the years they grew into collections of multiple paper boxes with poor indexing and scattered contents (i.e., some docs in a series in one box, other docs in a series in another box

    Fair enough, thanks. One of the reasons I think that might be a better way at the problem is it would encourage readers to really dig into a specific problem and get a sense for behaviors in the data, as they develop their understanding of
