Default Organizing Tutorials

What are ways you guys use to organize and 'preserve' tutorials?
I think I have a laminator, but is that economical. Mine always seem to get some sort of water on them and then the print is gone

If you have all or even some of them only on your computer, please back them up onto a flash drive or wherever magical place. I lost my computer, and lost literally hundreds of dollars in tutorials. I know that really doesn't answer your question, but I had to get that out here.

I back all of mine up online, and use a tablet if I need to look at it while I work.

Mine are on my iPad and on my computer. I'm about to back up the computer files on a 4T external drive.

I tried printing them out, but I have WAY too many to keep up with that anymore. I can't even begin to imagine laminating them all. If yours are printed out, you could try just putting the ones that are currently in use in page protectors and then switch those out as you go on to other tutorials - just keep them in a binder when they're not in use.

I have electronic back up on DropBox.

They are also saved in iCloud.

I learned long ago that one needs to save these tuts using several methods other than printing. I have two huge spiral notebooks full of tuts - paid for and freebies. Printed them up then put each entire tutorial in a plastic see thru sleeve. Not the individual sheets of paper. Now, I print nothing up. Tuts are stored - on my computer, sent to a second online email server, copied to an external drive (as is everything on my computer), copied to cd's AND copied to flash drives. Yeah, over done I'm sure but they are there when needed. I have my reasons for each method. lol !
