A single place to store all personal details & documents

[coffee1066]

Hey guys,

I’ve always struggled to get my details (passwords, bank account, documents, etc.) at one place.

And, this has often left me frustrated.

A couple of weeks back, I wanted to print my Aadhar, & at the shop, just couldn’t find it. Took me a good 5 minutes to get it from my email.

I’ve built a pretty simple template on Excel to store all my personal details. It’s saved me a lot of frustrating moments.

I'd love to know if anyone else has faced similar issues? And how do you solve it?

Additionally, if anyone feels that my template could help them, feel free to reach out, I'd love to share it for free. No strings attached.

What’s in it for me? I get to learn better ways of solving this problem.

P.s. DigiLocker is good, but can’t store text in it. And, isn’t searchable.

@coffee1066 How will you store files in excel?

@ringo123 Currently, I'm storing them on drive, and linking it in excel.
Going forward, I'm thinking of building an app that can handle storage, safety for all my details.

@coffee1066 I created icloud folder with subfolders containing all the scanned copies. works with google drive or dropbox too. for passwords i use bitwarden.

@mika145 Understood. Is there anything you don't like about this solution?

@coffee1066 It is a good idea.. but from what I remember people have already built apps on this.. I guess someone pitched this idea in Shark Tank too

Also.. personally I wouldn't put up my confidential information on any platform.. Would prefer to have it written in a diary or keep docs in a safe

@travisdt Got it. Any clue what the name of the product pitched was?
