Admin , apologises didnt know where to put this thread but as its about banking etc I put it here. Please move it if there is a better place

Hello, so having moved to paper free bank statements etc etc a long time ago I am now wondering where the best and safest place is to store things. 

store on laptop only - what happens if it goes kaput 
back up on usb ? - it can also break 
is there a cloud which is secure to store stuff , like password manager except for secure documents

You could use something like Dropbox, plus a local hard drive or USB.

Google Drive or OneDrive would be easy

Or, as I do, both.

Thanks folks, didnt think of them.

The usual advice is to have a local back up (a well hidden USB will do) and a cloud back up. Google and Microsoft sometimes close accounts without giving any notice.

Even when subscriptions have been paid for additional storage?

I use protonmail. Email, VPN, storage - everything encrypted.
