To answer your question I store mine inside. I’ve got a garage with a well functioning door opener so it’s no hassle at all for me. I suspect light surface corrosion on the rotor and maybe a sticking cable was the cause of the rubbing. It can still happen over time if it is outside even in a relatively dry environment.
