Obviously I'm having difficulty clearly expressing the vastness of my ignorance.
I do not know Google drive, haven't the foggiest idea how to "create a folder" therein.
Wouldn't have a clue how to login to Google Drive.
Don't know electronic search therein, or Microsoft 365.
Don't know Word, either (just throwing that in for illustrative purposes, LOL).
Don't know "external hard drive", wouldn't have a clue how to use one (but am confident I am capable of ruining both it and any electronic device I try to use it on/in!).
Don't ask how I continue to function MSing and merchandising -- somehow, with lots of help from schedulers/project managers, I manage to muddle through.
I must do something right, because...well, I do keep getting assignments, doing them correctly, and submitting them on time.

Use Google. It's free-of-charge. Create a folder on Google Drive; name it something like Narratives. Inside that folder, save individual documents (files) or one consolidated document with a page break inserted between each new narrative (for ease of reading later).
Google Drive saves to the cloud, so your folder and files will be saved automatically "out there" on the interwebs and you can retrieve what you need when you need it. You can access Google Drive (with your logon and password) on your phone, library computer, hotel computer, someone's computer, etc.
Plus you can do an electronic search inside the document(s) for keywords, client names, dates, locations, etc.
You can also use Microsoft 365 similarly.
