The Internet provides us with more and more new opportunities, making life easier. For example, new technologies make it possible to use the Internet to store important documents, including personal ones.
When traveling abroad, many are afraid of losing their documents and getting stuck there until all the formalities are cleared up. If you lose your documents at home, there is nothing pleasant either. It's good that technologies exist to get around this problem. As for abroad, it is still better to carry with you photocopies of documents certified by a notary. This will keep the originals safe.
However, if someone is afraid of the "total" loss of documents, then it is best to turn to the Internet, where there are universal services for storing any files, including personal documents. The names of these services are: Dropbox, Google Drive, Yandex Disk. Cloud technology allows you to access these services from any device.
All that remains is to scan the document and save it to any of the services, and after that you can view it from your computer, laptop, tablet or smartphone. Moreover, this can be done from anywhere in the world where there is Internet. And it doesn't matter that the computer or smartphone is broken - all information on such sites is reliably protected. Go to the service from any Internet cafe, from the library and print documents, if necessary.
It remains only to take into account a few nuances:
- on the site you will need to register, having come up with a name and password to enter. It is better not to use your last name, first name and patronymic for this purpose, it is wiser to come up with something that does not apply to you. And it is better to have a separate e-mail box.
- it seems that it is necessary to scan and invest in such a service documents certified by a notary. Because no matter how securely your documents are stored, it is still not the original, but a copy. As a rule, copies are not valid without certification. These documents will also not have a real notary's stamp, but a scanned one. However, it is more reliable for communicating with bureaucrats.
- there is a possibility that the account will be hacked, and then the documents will become available to attackers. To avoid this, you need to come up with a strong password that is not used anywhere else. It should be long and consist of letters and numbers interspersed with each other. Birthdays are the most insecure passwords and can be decrypted very quickly.
- come up with where you will store the password so as not to forget and not lose it, otherwise the whole idea of storing documents may go to dust. In order to be able to recover the password, you need to record all the actions that were performed during registration on the service. Now even young people do not hope for their memory, let alone the rest of the population. Keep all records in a safe place too.
