What is "The Cloud?"
Dropbox or Google Drive, or...?.
Why NOT an external drive? You can, and it is a great idea. But your files are only on THAT 1 and only external drive which you cannot access from another device AND you'll need to carry that drive around. What happens when THAT drive goes bad? If you do use one be sure to NOT leave it plugged in at ALL times. Use it to back up files periodically. Do not leave it plugged in. Yes, I backup my files to two different 500 G. drives AS A BACK UP. I also use Google and Dropbox for my daily storage/use.
Please remember if you INSTALL DropBox or Google Drive at school... DO NOT install it in your M:drive or My Documents. Put it directly on your C:Drive. When you install it chose Advanced options and Browse to the C: drive when it asks.
