I’m looking for a way to move away from organizing by folders and toward tagging documents. I’m also, then, working to move all my files to an online source.

I’m using QuickSliver to quickly tag all my files, then move them into one folder which I sync between my laptop and Box.net.

But to make this work effectively, I need to tag only once and these tags need to be found within Box.net’s search tools.

Any ideas? – DonM
