Where can I store digital files?
What's best for digitizing a lot of paperwork for my laptop? A USB stick? An external hard drive? Online storage? Or something completely different?
I'm looking for something that only costs me a one-time fee, meaning no subscription. And I have Windows, if that matters. I'm not familiar with this.
What's the best place to store all these files? Do you have any recommendations?

Hello,
If you have no basic concerns to save your files in the cloud, you can try Google Drive for example. This is up to 5 GB free and easy to handle.
That's why Cloud's been falling away.
Ne external SSD offers itself.
Depends on the amount of data. USB sticks are probably the most unreliable from the mentioned alternatives. That's why I take every month to backup the 3 USB sticks where the oldest backup is on it. However, you should always mind external SSDs etc. have an "original" (either in the computer or an SSD) and a backup (ie if necessary a 2nd SSD).

I would take two external hard drives for data backup. Two because you should never rely on just one backup. If you think it's serious, then you keep the plates in different places, so it's not all fuss when the bud burns. – What may never happen!
A large USB stick should be enough.
It also depends on the quality with which you archive your paperwork.
Images are larger than fonts.
Basically, free apps allow you to photograph and convert your fonts to PDF.
Make OCR still searchable and then your stuff on the stick.
USB stick and online storage do not replace backup.
I haven't found anything cheap, almost automatic for Windows.
