A lot of people do not find file transfer to digital as an appealing option to improve their methods of safe keeping. They think that converting files to digital would require them to spend a lot of money in the conversion itself and they think that the really do not need it anyway. Those notions are entirely not true, because by transferring files to digital, may it be photos, videos or any other form of documents, you get to save more.
1. Save on storage space
You will continuously accumulate files - pictures, videos and documents. And this will also lead you to expanding your storage space and giving more room to your files. You will buy file cabinets, more boxes, albums and the likes. But once you have your files in digital, you do not need to put them in these bulky containers. In fact, you won't need any of them anymore. All you need is a device where you could save the files and enough back up files for them. Total the amount of money you spend on cabinets, albums, file cabinets and room expansions and compare that one with what you are going to spend when you will have your files converted to digital.
2. Save on file transfer expenses
How do we usually send pictures, videos and documents to people the old school way? We send them through mail, packages, etc. How long do they usually take? The fastest I know is a day or two - and they put an extra charge on express. The longest, it depends, and there is even a risk that your file could be lost somewhere for whatever conceivable reason there is. How much does it cost to send a package? It depends. The heavier and bulkier, the more expensive it is. What if you intend to share an album of memories of your 65 year old grad mother? Imagine how big would that file be? Then, because you wanted to save, you would not be able to send all the pictures - you just pick enough pictures that would fit your budget for sending a package. Imagine how many pictures you would miss to send. But once your files are already in digital and you already have an Internet connection, you can already send all the pictures they want including videos and even important documents, cutting the cost to zero!
Yes, the conversion process might be expensive - you need to buy your own equipment that would convert the files to digital or you will have a digital converting company to manage your files. However, think of its effect in the long run. You won't worry about having to find a bigger room to keep all of your boxes and cabinets. You do not have to buy file cabinets, albums and boxes anymore when you have new pictures, videos or documents. All you need to have is the saving device of your choice (cd, dvd, usb, hard disk, among others) and enough memory space in them to save all of the files you have and will have in the future.
