I have Paperless watching a network folder from my NAS. The scanner scans directly into that folder and Paperless picks it up and processes it within a couple seconds. Even if Paperless went down for a bit (which happened before I upgraded my server), the files remain on the shared drive until it comes back online.

Without that, I had paper piling up waiting to be scanned.

IME Paperless is nice as idea, but really buggy... Sometimes search does work for OCRed text but not for labels. Sometimes labels themselves are not shown or need to be written/edited by hand browsing it's storage.

Beside that is a nice idea, but too focused on scanned stuff, today many docs are not scanned nor pdfs.

That’s quite cool, I might add that. I did set up E-Mail watching using an iCloud account and it’s working well too. Must go donate some money to the Paperless team!
