Storage access is becoming more mobile, shared, and app-based.
45 percent of renters share a digital key when app-based smart locking systems allow it. Tenants used smart technology to access connected devices nearly 44 million times in 2025. That tells operators something important: customers increasingly expect storage to work like the rest of their digital life. They want flexible access, controlled sharing, and fewer friction points. For facilities serving families, businesses, contractors, or multiple authorized users, digital access can be more than convenience—it can be part of the product.
