Ask HN: What tools and services do you use to go paperless?

2 points by theforceawakens 10y ago ↗ HN

I have apprx. 5k pages to be scanned. Have about 2 days (~30 hours) of time, on my hand.

Here are some tools and services that I have been thinking about:

(1) Storage - Google Drive (Do you recommend Evernote or Dropbox or something else? Why?) (2) Scanner - http://goo.gl/FOjrVW (3) Shredder - http://goo.gl/syQUNK

If you could share your list (along with some metrics (time, number of pages, etc) + your experience) that will be super helpful. Thanks!

* OneNote

* DokuWiki (on sandstorm.io lately)

* Workflowy

* (a few years ago) activeinbox (IIRC) a gtd overlay on top of gmail

* Keep

The thing is all these have issues that have prevented me from settling down with any of them.

I use Doxie [1], Amazon Basics Shredder [2] and OneDrive. My experience with all three was good but I don't have data.

Thanks!

How do you manage your documents in OneDrive? (Folder Structure et al.)
