Whether you use DropBox or not, you definitely need to consider how your keep your data backed up. Here's how the Dojo does it.

Think about how safe your files are. What do you use to instantly backup/sync everything on your Mac? I use Dropbox Pro. It's $9.99/mo for 1TB of synced storage. In another lesson I'll show you iCloud Storage for a bargain.
Alternatives:
Free DropBox can start at 2GB and go up to ~18GB if you refer friends.
iCloud Storage - Free 5GB, 20 GB for .99/mo, 200GB for 3.99/mo. (See my lesson)
http://box.com/ - Free 10GB
http://copy.com/ - Free 15GB, Plans start $4.99 for 250 GB
https://www.google.com/drive/ - Free 15GB

November 6, 2015I thought the course was about Yosemite or at least Mac OS, but it is going in all sort of directions…

November 18, 2015Mac Dojo is about Productivity on the Mac Platform. It’s about using every aspect of your computer to the fullest. These are my techniques and methods for doing that. That might include 3rd party programs too. This isn’t a basic “how to use a computer” course. It’s about going deeper into efficiency, security, and convenience. If you want an OS X 101 course, you can find some cheap ones on Udemy. But I hope you gain some productivity tricks from the techniques here in the Dojo. Cheers!
