Justin11 Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Google got my phone, almost everything I use is secured by Google, I decided to use Gmail draft to save my passwords that is very important to me to avoid issues of forgotten passwords. When it comes to games on mobile, console, their is nothing much I can do because their is no further means to back up my progress in case my hard drive damages.

skyfire Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 I think the default storage for photos is not enough as our camera take high res images and the google backup is just not enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that is why you always get a phone with micro SD slot expansion and that is why the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra will be my last flagship. I'm moving to mid-range phones as flagship phones suck. Every year they keep removing features and the phones aren't improving that much performance-wise. On computers, just get a huge external drive and save your favorite files there.

skyfire Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 These days just keeping some of my content with the OneDrive. That has helped me so far but I have to work on many small things for it to work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I do is save my information at my Gmail account especially with passwords and passphrase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head_Hunter Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 (edited) Saving on Gmail is the best, Google also own the Drive and lots more feature, which makes android worth using. You can decide to save with your email draft side if it's a written text, unless it's video contents. Edited April 13, 2022 by Head_Hunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like much better choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will look up to using my own G-suit saving my personal information to avoid any future compromisation of data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrik Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 i did that only once back when i was a kid, i saved some data on some DVD's that i still own till today, but after that never, i know that SSD's or HDD's aren't trustworthy but it's a lot of effort!

Jasmin Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 I regularly back up my device data. I use a lot of cloud storage service (Dropbox, Google Drive, One Drive, etc,). However, the services I use are free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonassis Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 one of my goals is to save enough to get myself a NAS. this is the effect of always browsing the r/datahoarder subreddit. 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the meantime, I just use Sync cloud storage and my portable hard drives to backup my files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane99 Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 I sadly don't backup my date very often, but I probably should change that soon in the hopes of protecting my PC better. I'd rather be able to backup my files instead of losing everything. I've dealt with PCs losing data before, so it's not fun when it happens, that's for sure.

Same - Don't you have any external hard drives? I mean, they are pretty affordable and just make sure to keep them in a dry place like a safe...
