Indeed, you can just store anything but you have to show some responsibility as well. Some things are not good to store as they can incur damage to not only your stuff but also the storage company.

Unpacked/perishable food
Perishable food acts like a magnet to attract pests, mildew, and mold. Even if your storage unit is climate-controlled, the perishable food items are bound to decay over time. Even some canned food items run at the risk of combustion due to unfavorable environments or poor packaging. Avoid storing food items in a storage unit at all costs.
Hazardous Material

Ammunition
Weapons and ammunition such as hand grenades, guns, gunpowder, and flame throwers, are not supposed to be placed in a storage unit for obvious safety concerns. They can lead to potential loss if triggered causing immense damage to the property as well as legal problems.
Living or dead things
It is needless to say but still important enough to be included in the list. People, plants, or animals, whether living or dead, cannot be placed in storage units. It is inhumane and could lead to severe criminal charges.
Wet Items
Whether is it furniture, vehicles, or anything else, wet items should not be placed in closed-off places. It could potentially cause mold and mildew that could further damage other items in the unit.
Money
If you have to store money, pick a bank rather than a storage unit. No matter how secure, a storage unit is still an unsafe place than a bank or storage box. If caught by rodents, termites, or mold, you can suffer an immense loss of money. The worst thing is that you can't claim the protection of money stored in Storage Dubai.
