Preserving Class Work--OOPS!

The best way to move files between school and home is to use a cloud-based application. Older, cloud-based resources for moving and storing files are referenced here.

But BE CAREFUL! This service, Startforce, suddenly cut me off, having moved from a freemium to a pay-only service. If I had counted on having access to my files, I would have been SOL.

NOTE: Do not use a jump drive to move your files. The best outcome that you can expect from this method is that you will not lose the drive. Every semester I find several of these left plugged into computers. Use one or more of the online applications--preferably two, giving you a redundant backup.

Indesign users should not forget to package their files.
