I felt like a grown up once I got my paperless-ngx setup up and running. I have a Scansnap ix1600 scanner. Everything is automated once I insert a document and click the button to scan it. 1. Scanned documents are saved to an SMB share on my home server - it's a built-in feature on the scanner. 2. Paperless-ngx is watching that folder and grabs the files. 3. Paperless-ai uses AI to add metadata to document (title, tags, correspondent). For documents I need to keep a physical copy of, I give each document a consecutive ASN (archive serial number) using QR code stickers. When importing the document, paperless-ngx sees the barcode and attached the correct archive number to the document. If I need to find the physical copy, I first find it in Paperless-ngx, look at the archive number, then look in a folder where the documents are arranged by archive number. Easy.
