How can I save my work?

Question

I'm in the process of writing a book, but I will be getting a new computer soon. Is there a place on the internet where I can store my work without worrying about someone stealing it?

I also have a file transfer thing, and I would use that, except I'm afraid by the time I get the computer, it won't be able to fit. And this isn't only for computer-moving purposes, this is also for back-up in case my computer crashes. Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

If I were you I would use a USB drive.  Right now you can get them on sale thanks to back to school sales at Staples, Office Max, Target ect...  

If they can use it for four years of college work you should have plenty of room for your book.  This way you are the only one that has access and you don't loose anything even if the new computer gets hit with a virus or some strange lock up.  

I would hate for you to loose everything from a computer failure.

Answer 2

email it to ur self baby.

how big is it? y dont u just save it to a disc or usb drive?

Answer 3

What I would do is get an external hard drive, either  a desktop one or a portable one, and save all of your files on that. That way they're portable, safe, and easily able to find. That way you won't have to worry about anyone stealing it or trusting that whatever site you put it on go downs. With a external or portable hard drive they just plug and play into whatever computer you connect them to.

Something like this:

I have one and I would have been lost in college without it, now I use it for my business and it still proves to be a life saver at times

Answer 4

Load to FTP site

Answer 5

You can store it on a USB flash drive. that way you can keep with you. If you want to put it online you can put it in an encrypted archive so that anyone that wanted access to it would need a password. I would recommend password protecting the file on the flash drive so that if you lose the drive, no one can read the info. I would recommend a combination of both to ensure security.

In the sources I will link to a good program to compress and encrypt your documents, and a website to upload it.

PS: Indeed, as someone suggested, it is a good idea to email it to yourself. That is probably the easiest and most secure way.

Answer 6

buy a USB stick. Fit in any computer, some are password protected, and you can have always with you.

And if you buy a 2GB  one you can save not only your work but some other files too like photos etc. you want to save.

Have a nice day
