Cloud storage

If you use cloud storage, either through your accounting software or through a separate service provider, for example, Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive or Dropbox, make sure: 

  • the record storage meets the record-keeping requirements 
  • you download a complete copy of any records stored in the cloud before you change software provider and lose access to them.
