Swiftscan maybe the solution! They are still not well in the organizing segment,but seems to do the job on the digitizing part at least. I'll check,thanks a lot for making me aware.

Google seeing it is also not my concern, my main problem is that it is not user friendly. I have to organize things as albums and have a structure in place to be able to find them back easily. This structure is implicit, so I have to talk to my SO everytime I have to change something and/or reeducate her.

This is a great system, I have something similar on OneDrive. But it is still a hell even for me, let alone my SO who's not a geek.

It works OK for archiving - if you really won't ever need it often, like flood insurance etc. and for those I don't complain at all. However i do have items I access frequently: i.e: Tickets, passes etc. I also wouldn't mind paying an app for reminders (fines, event dates, appliance warranty expiration -or even maintenance checks, ...)

I don't have OCR for free with Onedrive but I'll look if that's indeed a difference, I could move to GCloud. But then again, I'm stuck with my nerdy setup (no offense, I love it :) )

Hi, an independent contractor who helps others to become independent too. Congratulations on this life changing journey, a difficult decision to make.

Before COVID when I was more active I wrote a comprehensive free guide on this. It's titled for project managers but it really applies to a lot of independent consultants. Here's the link: https://iqoach.com/ultimate-guide-to-becoming-a-well-paid-in...

I tried to distill my experiences from myself and my clients, hope you find it useful.

Good luck!
