"What do you want a trusted person to access quickly and easily if you're incapacitated or die unexpectedly? One of my fears is that I'll be hospitalized and no one will remember that I prepared and signed an advance health care directive. If you don't have a lawyer who holds your important documents (and maybe even if you do), make sure at least two people can access digital copies of them quickly and easily."
"Just as with other important documents, you can share these files securely via cloud storage, but put them into a clearly labeled folder, like _IMPORTANT FILES. Using an underscore ensures that the folder appears at the top of the list when files are sorted alphabetically. Because these documents contain sensitive information, make sure you review the security settings when you enable sharing so that only your trusted persons can access them."
Decide which files to share now and which to release only after death. Use secure cloud storage to share files and folders so trusted people can access photos, videos, and actively used documents. Keep backups in the cloud to protect against fire, flood, theft, or local data loss. Ensure at least two trusted people can quickly access digital copies of vital papers such as wills, power of attorney, advance directives, deeds, certificates, and identity documents. Put sensitive items in a clearly labeled folder like _IMPORTANT FILES and verify sharing permissions so only authorized people can view them. Specify separate instructions for account access and posthumous actions such as posting or deletion.
