Back up and protect your data for free

Our lives are so closely tied to data that saving and protecting it has become imperative today. The importance of our data prompts us to handle it with care, so to avoid losing data, we must learn how to back it up. How? ‘Or’ What ? It is in this sense that I wrote this article entitled ” Cloud: save and protect your data for free. “

Having only one copy of your data is a mistake that you have to learn to avoid. What I advise my readers is to have at least 2 copies of their data. A data on physical media. These media can be external hard drives, USB keys, etc.

But also have a copy online. Indeed there are different Cloud platforms. They allow you to back up your data. Here, I take more into account the free storage space available.

Access your data anywhere in the world. Obviously, you need an internet connection 🙂

Share your saved data with other people (colleague, student, etc.)

Dropbox allows you to back up your data for free. But with a limited amount of space. It is a service for online storage and sharing of copies of local files online. It provides client software for Windows, Mac OS X, GNU / Linux, Android Phone, Windows Phone, iOS…

So it is also possible to save the data of your smartphone.

It offers 2 GB of free space for storage in basic mode.

Google Drive offers 15 GB of storage space for free… I think Google Drive is the best.

Microsoft OneDrive is a collection of online services: storage and applications.

The service can be used in two ways: through a web browser, by uploading files to a server, by retrieving them on his computer if necessary and by sharing them with friends or with all Internet users; or through the OneDrive software which allows synchronization between OneDrive and compatible computer media.
