Now that you have converted your paper documents to digital files, it is time to find a good online cloud storage solution for your needs. With so many online storage solutions out there, however, it can be difficult to choose which one is right for your organization's needs. To help make your choice a little easier, we are going to list the four best online storage solutions and explain what makes them so great.
Why would I want to store my documents online in the first place?
Your new digital document management system has significantly improved your ability to manage your documents, so you may be wondering why you would need to make a change so soon. Using an online document storage solution, however, is not a change – it is an upgrade. Here is how it will improve your digital document management system:
Online storage allows you to access your documents anywhere
This is an invaluable capability to have. This allows you to provide instant file access to those who need it and you can even remotely mange them yourself. With the best cloud storage solutions (like the ones discussed below), you can even access your documents via peripheral devices like your mobile phone.
Online storage makes your documents more secure
With cloud storage, your data is doubly encrypted (while it is being transmitted and while it is dormant). Also, good cloud solutions implement security protocols beyond the IT capabilities of your company.
Online storage allows you to save more files
How many gigabytes of storage do you have remaining? Regardless of how large your internal storage solution seems right now, it will run out very quickly. Cloud storage gives you the ability to store an infinite amount of digital documents.
