A parent’s guide: How to keep your kids’ keepsakes organised on Dropbox
Learn how Dropbox Family can help you and your loved ones stay organised throughout the years and access important files while on the go.
Early childhood
Welcoming a new member of the family brings not only tons of smiles and sleepless nights, but also lots of paperwork. Here are a few different examples of stuff from your child’s early years to keep safe in cloud storage:
- Birth announcements
- Birth certificates
- Student loan documentation
- Medical/dental/vision insurance cards
- Immunisation records
- Instructions for babysitters/nannies
- Childcare forms
Primary school
Primary school is an exciting time for both kids and parents. Your children are becoming more independent and social. Keep tabs on these files during the primary school years:
- School event calendars
- Spreadsheets for birthday party invitations
- Summer camp forms
- School health forms
- Glasses prescriptions
Secondary school
During the secondary school years, there’s more school work and extracurricular activities as your teens transition into adulthood and prepare for university. Show your teen how to use Dropbox so they can store these important documents:
- Payslips and P45/P60s
- University applications
- Scholarship applications
With Dropbox Family, up to six members have access to private accounts with 2,000 GB (2 TB) of storage – all under one bill. And everyone has access to a shared Family Room folder, so you can upload all those important family files, baby videos and Google Docs full of family recipes in one place.
Sign your kids up early to develop good organisational skills. They’ll be ready to manage all the digital files that come with school and beyond.
