INFORMATION
Powerful, personal online storage made easy and secure
Why would anyone want to store their personal files anywhere other than their home? Simply stated, there are safer places to store files and important papers than your home. In the past, people used bank safety deposit boxes to store their wills, insurance policies and the like. The cost was reasonable, but accessing what you needed when you needed it was difficult and the boxes were hardly big enough to store everything that should have been there.
Our lives are much more complicated nowadays. Time is precious and the number of documents and files you need to run a well-ordered life has grown exponentially. Keeping these files in a stack on your desk might be convenient, but sorting through that stack every time you need to find something consumes precious time. That stack of papers is also subject to fire or water damage if a disaster strikes your home. You could keep files stored on your home computer or disc, but if your home is burglarized, or your hard drive is destroyed in a fire or flood, you have lost those documents and digital files forever. Imagine being displaced from your home after a tornado and not having a copy of your insurance policy to refer to, or photos of your home before the disaster to verify what needed to be replaced. You are out thousands of dollars to add to the misery of losing your home. That's why we developed My-personal-files.com. You cannot foresee bad things happening, but you can take measures to make your life easier if the worst happens.
Recently, the IRS changed the tax laws on the sale of your principal residence. No longer can you simply rollover the profits into another home and postpone the capital gains taxes. After certain levels, you have to pay capital gains taxes when you sell your home. Keeping receipts of home improvement expenses can save you thousands and thousands of dollars in taxes when you go to sell your home. Keeping these receipts stored on My-personal-files.com will make sure these receipts are available for you and your accountant - organized and always accessible no matter where you might be.
If you travel and need medical attention, where are your medical history records? If they are at your primary physician's office, they are not accessible to you when you need them. Keeping a copy of your medical evaluations from each of your doctors on My-personal-files.com will save you precious time when seeing another doctor. You can access your medical records for the new doctor quickly, and this may save you precious time and get you more knowledgeable care than you might not otherwise have received had you not had a current medical history available.
