The most common type of storage that does not use direct access is tape storage. Tape uses sequential access, that requires to start from the beginning of the tape and go through the tape until you find the section you need. Direct access includes a directory that will let you go directly to the data you need.

What method is not used as a method of storage?

One method that is not used for storage is the "direct transmission" method, which involves transferring data from one device to another without storing it first. This contrasts with storage methods like hard drives, cloud storage, or flash drives, which retain data for future access. Direct transmission is typically used for real-time communication rather than data storage.
