While you can find ceremonies that give a meaning to each fold, they are just cool ceremonies. There is nothing official about the meaning of each fold ... officially, they are just folds.
This is not the only way to store a flag. You may fold it up into a rectangle, cover it so it will not get soiled, and store it flat (or upright, if it is held firmly in a box). If it's on a pole, you may wrap it around the pole and secure it with rubber bands or ties and store it upright, leaning against a wall in a closet.
Never salute a flag that is furled (folded, wrapped, or gathered against the pole to keep it from touching the ground).
Please keep in mind: When displayed, the flag should fall naturally and freely. It should never touch anything beneath it (like a table or floor), should never be draped (like over chairs or boxes or tables), and should never carry anything or have anything placed on top of it.
