Keeping files online or offline

[YoungKyla]

Hello! I often debate with colleagues about whether it’s better to store sensitive business files offline or online. Each side sounds convincing, but which option actually proves more secure in practice?

Hello! I found clarity in Offline vs Online Document Security on https://processtrends.com/ The article pointed out that offline storage avoids cyber threats but is fragile against theft or disasters. Online solutions now offer encryption, access tracking, and reliable backups, which often make them safer overall. What I liked most was the suggestion to consider a hybrid system - keeping high-risk documents offline but using online platforms for collaboration. Since adopting that approach, I feel much more confident that we are protecting files without losing efficiency.
