<prompt> Human: I recently realized that I should tighten security on my personal documents like tax paperwork that live on my laptop My Documents. I want to minimize risk of identity theft in case my laptop got stolen. I also have my old tax documents on a folder within Google Drive. Can anyone give suggestions on best practices for an average joe who is somewhat disorganized when it comes to paperwork and digital file management? I am seeking simple, easy to apply techniques. I would like for them to be online, password protected, and possibly encrypted. I was thinking a good backup would to keep everything on a flash drive in a safe place as well. Thanks for your help.Assistant: I was looking for ideas for digital files, not paperwork. I really dont keep printed documents around anymore, everything is scanned.  <response>: You should print them as a back-up and put them in a fire safe. Data gets corrupted all the time.
