    Hosting Paperless on a NAS and connecting an ADF scanner makes processing paper documents an effortless job. Paperless can connect with mail accounts to process documents from certain folders. Automatically assigned metadata with some machine learning algorithms in the background makes tagging easy. Fast and intuitive filters let users find documents without searching long.

    I use paperless for private documents for our family and manage 1500+ documents.
