Ask HN: What's your personal document management system?
What do you do to organize, both your digital and your physical, documents? It doesn't have to be an uber cool document handling robot you've built, but some of your practices might help other people (and me) improve their own.
I'll answer first:
1. All my physical files (degrees, healthcare records, old photographs, land ownership records, identification records, marriage certificate, etc) go in one big file without any real organization. Every "person", though, gets their own file — unless it's a record with multiple people, that goes in my file for no real reason.
2. Scanned copies, or digital documents are organized into categories "educational", "government", "employment", "tax", "misc", etc. and are named according to the person, issue date, and classification. Etc: amin-government-id-2013, amin-education-bsc-transcript-lse-2015, etc. These go in my Google Drive and my Keybase private folder. Some also go in my Google Photos in a separate album because they're essentially just photos and my wife can access them easily there through shared galleries.
