I'm sorry- There was a discussion here a while back on suggestions for places online to file one's work instead of using a flash drive. I was out and about today looking at flashdrives but then thought of that thread and figured someone may have saved that thread here.

This way I can save the cost of buying a flash drive and then asking a friend to save it for me in case I have a fire.

Thanks in advance

There's loads of them.

Search "cloud storage" for more.

Can't recommend Dropbox enough. I only had one issue with the service once, but it didn't result in any data loss. (I couldn't access my files for like an hour, but it corrected itself.)

Dropbox is what we use as our primary, yeah. We store all my drafts, all the formatted books, all the covers, etc. in the system and can access them from any computer (or phone, or tablet) at any time.

Alternately, have 2 email addresses and mail them from one to the other. You'll have them in both accounts, in the sent folder of one and the inbox/wherever you put them in the other.

Skydrive is another I use for bigger files.

I just started using Dropbox, and it seems great. I like being able to have access to my files on the go when I only have my iPad.

I email myself. You don't need two emails. Just send it to yourself and it is in both folders.

But if Yahoo or Hotmail or whatever somehow goes down...

I love Dropbox. My husband and I love that your have files available to use on all devices. I put files in Dropbox, then I can print from his computer even though he has an ancient version of Word. LOL

Don't ever solely rely on a site like this. Use it and a USB for backup. I used to use googledocs, and then one day, I couldn't get in. I'm still not sure what happened to my account or the site. I had plenty of other backups, so I moved to Dropbox.

 

[EllieLupin]

I do Google Drive and emailing (with just the one account) and then every now and then I'll do a big purge of the computer files to USB's for the older stuff that I don't need access to frequently, if at all.

I switch between my laptop and husband's computer (working from his when the house is empty is just so much easier!) and have noticed that Drive doesn't like to sync enough, though.

This thread just convinced me to look into Dropbox

I use Dropbox and back up files on an external harddrive. Can't be too careful.

I sometimes dump files in my Amazon Cloud space. I'm going to try dropbox, though.

Thanks to all- Really helps I appreciate it
