File Management
It’s two days before finals and the project you just spent 20 hours on was lost along with the rest of the files on your computer when your hard drive crashed, you dropped your laptop or any other number of horrific events occurred.
This could have been a tragedy had you not been prepared for digital disasters! Fortunately there are quite a few low cost online file storage and backup solutions to come to your rescue. So in addition to having an external USB drive back up of all your important data look into a couple of the following services.
Online Backup
Unlimited online backup solutions are becoming quite popular and affordable. After the initial backup (which can take some time) anytime a new fie is created or an existing file is modified those files get automatically backed up to the cloud. You don’t have to do a single thing.
Online File Sharing and Storage
Another popular service is online file sharing and storage. If you ever have files too big to email or you want to share files across two computers where the updates to the files are recorded on both computers than this solution is for you.
