Back up your 2010-11 files to the cloud with Google Docs!

CD-ROMs are just unwieldy and get damaged easily. Flash drives get lost so easily! Dropbox (previously discussed in this post: link) is awesome; but at only 2GB for free use, that might not be enough space for your files. But there is another option for backing up the files from your h-drive: uploading and entire folder of documents to Google Docs!

Here's the process in 4 easy steps:

1. Point your browser to Google Docs.
2. Select the UPLOAD button and then select the FOLDER menu item.
3. Navigate to the folder name that contains the files you want to store in the cloud.
4. UNcheck the option "convert to Google Doc" if you want your word files remain word files and your excel files remain excel files (etc.) and then select OKAY.

And you're done! Your entire folder and its contents will be uploaded and stored for you to access anywhere you have Google Docs access!

Have an exciting and stress free last few weeks of school!
