How to backup your files from your personal computer

It is very important today that you backup your files.  There are plenty of reasons why you need to do it.  First, there are tons of viruses that can corrupt and even destroy one’s computer. Second, most of the updates from the different installations you had are critical to the security of your files. And third, there might be a chance that you would delete your files unintentionally.

So, it is really important now that you backup your files every now and then. I am going to share today, how to backup your files properly.

1. Backup your files using Google Drive Free storage

Everybody has their Gmail account. Along with this, you also have a free 15gb Google drive storage. You can use this to backup your files.  You can choose to upload your files by folder or by individual files.

2. Backup your files using Dropbox

Dropbox is a free online storage website. You can create a free account here. Initially, you’ll get a free 2GB storage. This is a great help for those who are out of storage capacity in google drive.

3. Backup your files using an external hard drive.

External hard drive is more like a big flash drive. It can store more than 1TB data. The larger the storage capacity the more it becomes expensive. The main advantage of using this is your ability to retrieve your data even you don’t have internet access.  Another, you can save any files that you want. This is very unlikely when using Google drive or Dropbox, they don’t support malicious or copyrighted files.
