Are you using Google Drive?

In ReviewGeek.com's Google Drive Has Quietly Become One of the Best Backup Options Around, I'm reminded that not everyone knows about the magic of Google Drive.

Are you still carrying files around on a thumb drive? And has that thumb drive been backed up after every change, deletion, addition to its files? What would happen if the thumb drive were lost or damaged? If you're not already totally dependent on Google Drive, you need to be.

And if you're a Dropbox fan, the ReviewGeek article has great information comparing the two and highlighting the benefits of Google Drive. I've had great experiences with the related mobile apps for all of Drive's components.

Luckily, UAH is a Google school so the account has already been created for you. If you're already logged into the single sign-on system, you can simply visit: Drive.Google.com to get started.

If you need help learning how to use Google Drive to enhance your course development and delivery, please contact me at Tess.Olten@uah.edu to set up an appointment to chat!

    Yes! And from any device! Once lost an entire laptop hard drive, right in the middle of writing my thesis. A few hours and one new laptop later, I picked right up where I left off without losing a thing!
