If you have never lost a file, photos, or document on your computer, consider yourself very very lucky! Most of us have had the blue screen of death, viruses that cause us to have to reformat our computers, power surges that blast our hard drives or even laptop issues that are too costly to fix. All of these can (and usually do) result in the loss of important data. Even if you ‘save’ your files, a catastrophic incident can lose them forever.
There are many ways to back up your data,including thumb drives, online services, discs, or external hard drives. I was recently referred to a service that not only gives you 2 GIG of storage for free, you can also share your files with your associates or family. It’s Dropbox. It’s VERY secure, and very easy to use. Once you install a very small piece of software on your computer, it’s as simple as Drag and Drop. You have an administrative account that guides you through your set up and sharing options. It makes working with a partner or associate easy as you can share your work real time. You can add all types of files, it’s not limited to just documents. You can save photos, music files, and videos. 2 GIG is a lot of free space!
Sign up today and try it! And it gets even better! If you use this link, you’ll get an additional 250 MB of storage space absolutely free. Get Dropbox now!
