Thank you. This brings up another problem we have with our laws: Corporates are not allowed to store such documents on servers which are outside of our country. And that's usually the case with clouds services, because of obvious reasons.

I'm not an attorney, so I can't give you the exact references to laws. Basically you are not obligated to store those documents as a private person, as long as you don't need to show them to a judge during a court case. That's why I'm a bit on the paranoid side, because you never know when you might need a specific document to prove something. In my case I do store all the documents which were signed (e.g. contracts) or are government related.

Looks great. Love the idea behind it, but...

There is at least one country (mine - Switzerland) which is not able to use software like yours. The problems are the current laws that force people and organizations to store physical copies of the documents (for several years). Electronic documents have no value in front of the law, which is why we have no choice but to do all of that offline, manually.

I've tried many archiving solutions, but non of them saved any bit of time. The one single, missing feature was an automatism to print a serial code (the electronic document ID) back on the original document. This way you could just scan it, print it, put it in a large box where you sort it by its ID - that simple. And this would even work if you would use spacers to split the documents on the scanning process.
