Halp! - re: Cloud, disc, thumb drives, cyber threat [View all]

A couple of years ago here, I asked about cleaning out all my papers and getting them put onto discs, uploaded to cloud, and shredding the paper.

Somebody here suggested that discs can deteriorate, and I thought cloud would get around that. So now with the Russ-aholes threatening cyber attacks, the media has said that stuff on the cloud can be hacked/abused/whatever, and that stuff should be saved to hard drive.

QUESTION 1: So, have finally got everything (including photos) on three discs and saved on the hard drive. But laptops come and go, so are thumb drives any more durable than discs?

QUESTION 2: Am looking at content of 174MB, 66.9MB, 57MB - total 297MB. I'm sure (am stupid) all three discs fit on a thumb drive?
