It's no secret that the internet has changed the way we store and access information. Gone are the days of dusty filing cabinets and piles of paperwork, replaced instead by online storage and archiving systems. Online archiving, also known as digital archiving, is the process of storing and preserving digital documents and records for future reference. This can include anything from text documents and images to videos and audio files.
The goal of online archiving is to create a secure and organized system for storing large amounts of information, making it easily accessible for years to come.
So why is online archiving becoming increasingly popular? Well, for starters, it offers a much more efficient and space-saving solution compared to traditional paper storage.
With online archiving, there's no need for physical space to store boxes of paperwork or folders, as all documents are stored digitally in the cloud.
