PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONS
What OneDrive IS and What OneDrive is NOT. Do you already have OneDrive? John will show us how to get (or activate) OneDrive, and the advantages and disadvantages of using OneDrive. It?s cloud storage, synchronizes changes to file among user?s devices, makes selected files and folders available on many devices and from remote devices, and is a collaboration tool for Microsoft Office apps. But is it a backup app?
 
Whoa, back up! Effective Strategies for Keeping Your Computer Files Safe. Think about all the data on your PC: videos of the grandkids playing in a park, photos of your trip to Patagonia (lucky you!), tax records, emails? Now, think about whether those files exist anywhere else. If the answer is no, you need to think about a backup. You could lose data due to viruses, fire, theft, tornado, earthquake, hard disk failure, making an unintended change to a file, or a wayward finger deleting a file. Chris will discuss various ways to ensure your essential data survives any catastrophe.
