If you’re aiming to declutter your office and seeking cost-effective file storage solutions, here’s the concise answer: off-site document storage at our secure facility starts at just $0.50 per Bankers Box (1.2 cubic feet) per month, with potential discounts for larger volumes. This means you can store up to 100 boxes for approximately $50 per month, freeing up valuable office space without the hassle of managing physical files.
Off-Site Document Storage vs. Self-Storage Units
Consider the differences between professional off-site document storage and traditional self-storage units:
- Self-Storage Units: A standard 5×5 unit in Long Island, NY averages around $55 per month. While this provides space, it requires you to transport, organize, and retrieve files manually, which can be time-consuming and inefficient.
- Off-Site Document Storage: At approximately $0.50 per box per month, storing 100 boxes would cost about $50 monthly. Our services include secure storage and professional records retrieval. When you need a file, we can scan and send it digitally or deliver it to you promptly, saving you time and effort.
Let’s compare the two options side by side:
| Self-Storage (5×5 Unit) | Off-Site Document Storage | |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly Cost | ~$55 | ~$50 for 100 boxes |
| File Retrieval | Manual, time-consuming | ✅ Digital & physical delivery |
| Security | Basic locks | ✅ Monitored facility |
| Space Optimization | ❌ Manual management | ✅ Frees up office space |
As you can see, off-site storage not only costs less but also offers significantly better convenience, security, and efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does document storage cost?
Document storage costs typically depend on the number of boxes, how long you need to retain them, and how often you need to retrieve files. Most providers price per box, per month, with volume discounts available for larger collections. Contact us for a quote tailored to your storage needs.
How much does it cost to store one box of documents?
Per-box storage rates vary by provider and typically depend on box size, retention length, and access frequency. Reach out for a box-by-box estimate based on your specific volume.
What affects offsite document storage pricing?
Offsite storage pricing is generally shaped by a few factors: total box volume, how long records need to be retained, retrieval frequency, and whether you need add-on services like scanning or shredding. Providers storing larger volumes for longer terms often see lower per-box rates.
What should I look for in a document storage facility?
A good document storage facility should offer secure, climate-controlled space, restricted access controls, fire suppression systems, and compliance with relevant records-retention regulations. Ask providers about their security certifications and retrieval turnaround times before choosing a facility.
