Virtual document safe storage is the process of changing physical files into electronic documents for sharing, storing and accessing. It can reduce the amount of space required to store physical documents. Additionally, it also helps improve security by locking particular parts of a document to specific users. This is especially useful for businesses that handle many papers. Paper documents are difficult to track and secure if they do not have a robust security system, as well as administratively demanding checkout procedures, in addition to being more susceptible to theft or destruction in a disaster such as fire. Electronic files, on the other on the other hand, are far easier to monitor, less prone to loss and are far more resistant to destruction.
You should consider how easy the system will be for you and guests when choosing a secure document management system. Look at the ease of uploading and downloading, and ask yourself if non-technical staff can manage to master the system. Find out if the service offers any assistance and how accessible it can be.
Who hasn’t lost important documents on their computer? While file sharing platforms such as Dropbox and Google Drive are better at backing up files, they don’t have the ability to organize them into meaningful folder structures that match the needs of your business or industry. Online document systems can do this, and provide audit logs of who has viewed which documents.
