The rapid development of information technology in the digital era has significantly transformed the way documents are created, stored, and managed, particularly in academic environments. Students continuously produce various digital documents such as assignments, lecture materials, papers, and presentations, which require proper management to ensure accessibility and efficiency. This study aims to analyze the practices of digital archive management among Economic Education students of the 2023 cohort in supporting their academic activities. The research employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive method, involving purposively selected informants. Data were collected through interviews and analyzed using data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing techniques. The findings reveal that students utilize multiple storage media, including laptops, smartphones, and cloud-based platforms such as Google Drive, as well as communication applications for file storage. While some students have implemented structured management systems by organizing files into folders based on courses or document types, others still demonstrate unorganized storage practices, leading to difficulties in retrieving information. These variations indicate that digital archive management practices are not yet fully systematic. The study implies the need for structured digital archiving guidelines and targeted digital literacy training to standardize document organization practices among students and enhance academic efficiency.
