Every day, people lose photos, school work, invoices, or client files due to damaged devices or lost phones. Here's how to make sure that never happens to you.
1. Use Cloud Storage
- Services like Google Drive, iCloud, OneDrive, or Dropbox automatically back up your files online.
- You can access your files from any device, even if your phone or PC gets lost or stolen.
2. Get an External Hard Drive
- Buy a portable hard drive or USB drive and copy your files to it weekly or monthly.
- Keep it in a safe place — not next to your laptop in case of theft or fire.
3. Use Automatic Backup Tools
- Windows: Use File History or OneDrive to back up folders automatically.
- Mac: Turn on Time Machine to back up regularly to an external drive.
4. Keep Multiple Copies
- Important documents should live in more than one place — cloud + USB or two drives.
