What counts as digital Assets?

Updated over 3 months ago

Digital assets are any online accounts, platforms, or digital resources you own or manage. These include your financial accounts, email, cloud storage, social media, subscriptions, and more. Recording your digital assets in Crux ensures that your nominees know what exists and how to handle these accounts when the time comes.

Examples of Digital Assets

Digital assets can include:

  • Email accounts (Gmail, Outlook)

  • Online banking or investment platforms

  • Cryptocurrency wallets and exchanges

  • Cloud storage (Google Drive, Dropbox, iCloud)

  • Social media profiles (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn)

  • Subscriptions (Netflix, Amazon, Spotify)

  • Business tools (Shopify, Stripe, domain hosting)

  • Memberships or online services

If you log into it, pay for it online, or manage it digitally, it counts as a digital asset.

How to Document your Digital Assets in Crux

1. Start with clear naming

Before uploading any files, create an entry and name it clearly so your nominees understand what the asset is.

Good naming examples:

  • “HSBC Online Banking – Personal”

  • “Coinbase Wallet – Crypto”

  • “Gmail – Main Account”

  • “Dropbox – Family Photos Archive”

Clear naming ensures clarity for loved ones later.

2. Add helpful notes

Use notes to explain:

  • What the account is used for

  • Any context your nominee should know

  • Instructions (without sharing passwords)

Troubleshooting

  • Not sure if something is a digital asset? If it exists online or requires a login → it is.

  • Nominee can’t see the asset? Check the permission assignment.

  • Overwhelmed? Start with your email, banking, cloud storage, and major subscriptions.
