I am brand new to the NAS world and am starting to re-(re, re, lol) organize my data to host on Synology Photos; family photos to start mostly. Going through my PC I realized I do have photos of my license, and while I was just about to delete them, I thought to ask the internet if it would be wise to document/scan my legal documents, government ID, etc just to have?

Obviously you wouldn't want to do anything dumb like add them to a folder you gave shared access to anybody for on your NAS. Maybe if I do document them it's best to keep them on a hard drive that never goes online. Maybe I'm rambling and it's overall a bad idea. But what if I lose something irl? Thoughts?
