All important files need to be in at least 2 places, one of which is in the cloud. Out of the house where a fire, hurricane, theft, will not reach.
I agree. I use my Google drive to store all important documents. If you scan them, they use very little data storage. Everyone who has a Google account, which is almost everyone, has 15gb of free cloud storage that can be accessed on "drive.google.com" from any internet device. Many people don't even know that they have the free storage.
