Just to add to the very good response from shu...
I also carry digital copies of everything on a USB memory stick (formatted for Windows). This means I can plug it into a computer and access the documents very quickly, or a mobile phone if combined with an OTA adaptor. I'm also considering storing the data on a USB stick (and/or SD card) and stashing somewhere safe on my motrcycle, where I currently have spare cash, document photocopies etc. The advantage of a USB memory stick is that: 1) I don't need to enter my password on an unknown computer, which may have a keylogger or be compromised in some other way; and 2) signing into Google (and other online storage) can require two-factor authentication, or possbly backup pass codes in the case of Google, which may also be lost/stolen along with the originals of whatever you're trying to access.
I admit this seems quite excessive and it's not fullproof; however, it provides another option that may be useful depending on the myriad of potential predicaments!
