In a previous post, I mentioned how I wrote using a typewriter in my junior high school days. Today, I have another old-timer story for you. Ha.

In college, I often saved my work on 2.5″ floppy disks. Eventually I replaced these disks with USB drives. Even then, transferring my stories from computer to computer was a pain. (Oh, first world problems!)

I’ve since ditched those floppy disks and USB drives, and now that I have a smart phone, I can carry all of my documents with me all the time.

Best of all, I can save time by syncing all of my documents wirelessly through Dropbox. As written on its website:

Dropbox is a home for all your photos, docs, videos, and files. Anything you add to Dropbox will automatically show up on all your computers,phones and even the Dropbox website — so you can access your stuff from anywhere.

Dropbox also makes it super easy to share with others, whether you’re a student or professional, parent or grandparent. Even if you accidentally spill a latte on your laptop, have no fear! Relax knowing that your stuff is safe in Dropbox and will never be lost.

If you’re a writer, you’re doing yourself a great disservice by not taking advantage of Dropbox’s capabilities. Please see the following video if you are unfamiliar with Dropbox.

Signing up is free. You will earn 2 gigabytes of cloud storage, and it never expires. But I have a special offer for you today! As a bonus to our loyal readers, if you use this link to sign up, you and I will each earn an additional 500 megabytes of space! Win-win!

With Dropbox, I always have the latest drafts of my work with me all the time. And there’s a safety in knowing that. However, if you ever accidentally delete a file, you can always restore it, as long as it is within 30 days.

So what are you waiting for? Sign up for a free Dropbox account today, and write your heart out anywhere you go!
