Cloud Storage - Dropbox and Google Drive

If you have ever lost your USB you know how frustrating it can be to lose all of your work.  If you are interested in using cloud storage to keep your files safe and to enable you to access them anytime anywhere, then maybe Dropbox could be a good solution for you.  Keep in mind that Dropbox only offers a small amount of space (2GB) for free, so this should be used for files, not as a place to store your music and videos.  Check out the link below to see if this is a tool that could help you in keeping your work files safe and accessible:

If you sign up using this link and then install Dropbox on your home computer you will get an extra 500mb of storage space for your account.

If you have a Gmail account then you now have access to Google Drive – Google’s cloud storage option that provides you with 5GB of free storage space.  Keep in mind that sometimes you cannot access Gmail from school, so this may limit the access to your school files.

I encourage you to begin looking into cloud storage as a way to ensure your files are safe and always accessible.
