How long do you store client files?

I have just looked, and I have client files from 2010 in my Google Drive and Dropbox folders! So, I would say the answer is indefinite.

On a serious note, I try to keep client files for about 12 months after the project ends or after I stop providing support as per the contract. However, all my web development files are already on GitHub, so I do not have to think about those.

When we work on projects, it's very crucial to keep the files safe. I also keep projects for more than a year after I finish, then I put them in a special place or even throw them away.
