The great advantages of saving it to a google cloud drive is not only
that google backs it up, you can completely control sharing of any of
the files or all of them, but best of all, Google does automatic optical
character recognition on every page of every file including handwritten
items and text in photos etc. And that is absolutely wonderful as you
can search for a place or person on the whole directory, or drive or any
part of it. (that only works for the owner of the google drive space).
I have 2 terabytes of purchased space and put everything I for myself
there in research and it all becomes searchable. Granted the
handwriting OCR is not perfect, however it is amazing. I put on 100
years of photograhped township record books and can look up an name,
date, etc immediately.
