Cloud-based Storage. Have you used it yet?
Sharing & storing documents is something we deal with on a daily basis as virtual assistants. If you don’t have a cloud-based storage set up, you need to! I remember when I was always scared that if my computer crashed, I would lose everything! Now, I’m not saying you still won’t lose some things…programs or what have you. But, all my pictures of my family and all my documents to and from clients are all readily available and seriously helps with the stress levels:-)
Here are a few of the best:
- Dropbox It is my favorite. It is super simple and affordable(actually free up to a data limit.) You can download it onto your computer and it automatically syncs.
- Google Drive It is great for the Gmail users. Very easy and actually free up to a certain data limit.
- Hightail(formerly YouSendIt)
- Microsoft OneDrive
- ShareFile
- Apple iCloud
- OneHub
Do you use something different? Share it below! Honestly, I only use Dropbox and Google Drive, and at this point in my business, I wouldn’t trade either one of them! BUT everyone has different needs and that’s ok! Use what works for you. If you need any help or have questions about using cloud-based storage, Click here!
