When searching for an affordable, time-saving, long-term solution for storing documents securely, you’ll find that you are in for a big investment. A typical filing cabinet can cost between $500 and $1,000; but if you want to maximize your storage space with something like the Modular Bi-File Sliding Storage System, you can expect to spend quite a bit more. The standard price for this system is around $200 per square foot, and the cost for boxed records is about $150 per square foot.
So if you have 50 square feet of files that you need stored, you would now be looking at an investment of around $10,000 to minimize the storage space your files take up.
Other Costs and Risks
There are locking file cabinets for increased security, but how secure are these files really? What if there was a natural disaster like a flood that ruined your documents, or what if a thief broke in and stole your valuable information? Then there are the time and security issues associated with sharing the file with a client or remote worker. The need for extra security, potential disaster recovery, and sharing of these documents all add to the cost of storing them.
