I have an unRAID server with a bunch of dockers on, and yet I’m still scanning and filing my documents in an SMB share like a goon!

What options are out there for me? I’m after something that has the following features:

- Scan to email functionality for ingest as well as manual ingest from another digital file share

- OCR

- Tagging

I’m honestly not sure what else

Suggestions?

      The only issue I see with paperless-ngx is that you cannot use an existing folder structure, or has that changed in the meantime?

      I would like to access the documents via paperless-ngx but would also like to preserve and continue to use my existing folder structure, especially to make retrieval of documents easier for someone else than me in case of emergency or if I cannot use paperless-ngx for whatever reason.

      I have made the experience that following along a clearly defined logical folder structure is easier for someone who hasn’t spend ours creating the structure themselves or doesn’t know about paperless-ngx.

        While it doesn’t use a fixed folder structure, you can decide the folder structure for each file based on any attribute. So all 2023 receipts for car a can go to “car a/receipts/2023” or “receipts/2023/car a” of whatever you wish. Really flexible! And if you change idea, you change the scheme and all the files are moved where they belong!
