Fairly simple here. Everything goes in iCloud with offline backups via Time machine. Documents are scanned and disposed of where possible - collecting paper is a bad bad bad thing. Identity and required paper documents are kept in a locked drawer. Credentials are stored in Keepass. Photos and videos are all in Apple Photos. Instructions are left on how to deal with the offline backup should anyone need it.

Obligation wise it's good to keep all documents for whatever the longest record keeping period is in your region.

Important that you scan your identity documents and keep copies too. That has been incredibly useful when I'm abroad because a lot of people will retain passports etc if you go in a hospital or something so you can just show them the electronic copy and tell them you left it in the hotel.
