I currently have a scanner which i can bulk load paper into. At night, I set it to automatically scan all the papers. Every morning, I take ten minutes to organize and rename my scans that are output from the software. Then, once a week, I take the paper files to my storage space. This also adds a little redundancy in case of fire, data loss, etc. And with OCR software you can even make them all searchable, and a harddrive holds alot more files in alot less space.

It's got spaces for two baskets on the top shelf and a large open space on the bottom shelf. I purchased a very attractive file box that fits on the bottom shelf of each table, and I've got tons of file storage that no one even notices - plus the whole thing was quite inexpensive!
