A comment above questions the drive to have a paperless environment. Ask those that are paying for offsite storage of files, and paying to retrieve them, a problem increasing all the time, or ask those that have gone paperless, including all the old files and freed up rooms and now let them out to generate income.
With 6 years use, we now very rarely need to go to old files (which pre-date the document management system) and certainly the last 6 year's data is all to hand.
There are some potential problems with client folders - they can become unmanageable quickly - and people can easily "do their own thing" - no consistency. Sometimes folders can be inadvertently moved too.
