BEST WAY TO SAVE FILES AND NEVER LOOSE THEM FOR EVER
Some of our files like pictures, videos and others can be very important that loosing them can cause serious issues. I recalled when I and my collegue back then in undergraduate studies was to have a defense done on a Monday. A day before that day which was Sunday one of my colleagues was coming back to town to town. Sadly she got involved in a motor accident and her phone got damaged at the scene. She was having the soft copy of her work she will be presenting the next day in there but lost access to it. She had sleepless night as she started doing her work afresh. To her was just a night but to some other person may cause them more.
Maybe you are working on a project that is very important or you have file that are very important e.g will, project, reciepts, contacts and others and you want to save them were they are always readily available, free from virus, flood, water etc. You are welcome and you're in the right place as this is what this post is all about..
Years ago I was working on a technical report during my undergraduate industrial training attachment with my smart phone when good boys stole my phone. I was having closely 30 pages of that document that I have put together after lots of research and sleepless night but was not having a backup copy on an SD card or flash drive. To some this is fustrating but to me it wasn't because I knew my work was intact. I just got another device and retrieved the work; continuing from where I stopped. So let's dive into the main body of this article.
Have you heard of cloud storage?
Yes! No! I guess so! One of these is your reply. Very well. Cloud storage is a cloud computing model that stores data on the internet through a cloud computing provider who manages and operates data storage as a service. Using cloud storage is the best and safest way to save files and never loose them for ever. Guess what, what I used in saving my work was cloud storage so when I lost my device, I got another, logged into my cloud storage account and downloaded a copy of my work.
You may ask, how can I get a cloud storage?
You can set a cloud storage by signing up with a cloud storage provider online. You can sign up for a free account or for a premium account. There are different cloud storage providers. Some are Microsoft OneDrive, Google Drive, Nexcloud, Pcloud, Box, SpiderOak, IDrive etc. Choosing what cloud storage to use may seem somewhat difficult and it all depends on you. I use Microsoft OneDrive as this could be used to login in Microsoft office programs for auto cloud save and I'm gono recommend that.
The important of Cloud storage is that it gives you access to your files anywhere you go to so far you have an internet access. Another is that your files are not proned to virus, loss by flooding of hardware storage or fire burns. Your files are secured with your password.
