If you have started to manage your digital life and craft an overall plan for maintaining your important digital stuff, it helps to have a place or places to store your digital files. This location could be on your personal computer or another physical location, like an external hard drive or a flash drive. While there are definite advantages to storing your files in an off-line location, you should consider storing your files in an online environment as well. Online storage space allows you to maintain your files if your physical file storage fails, whether through loss of your computer, external hard drive, or flash drive, or if your hard disk becomes corrupted or otherwise breaks.
