Its very important to keep your work somewhere safe, where it is backed up. Keeping your work on just your laptop or a memory stick is risky, because if the laptop has a problem, or you lose the memory stick, you can lose your work.
A good place to keep it is in cloud storage, that keeps a copy on your laptop & in the cloud. If you do this, your work is always backed up & you can see or work on it from any of your devices. We recommend using Microsoft OneDrive.
Tasks
- Set up OneDrive on your laptop
- Windows: Windows 10 already has OneDrive installed, so you just need to click on the small grey cloud in the system tray & sign in with your student ID. For a step by step guide, see this video.
- Mac:
- Open the Mac App Store & search for OneDrive.
- Click on the downloaded file to install it.
- Sign in with your student email address.
- Complete the Learning OneDrive course on LinkedIn Learning.
