Does anyone have an suggestions for backing up files online? I'm attempting to move them to a flash drive but it's not wanting to install the software. So I figured I'd ltry the next best thing at the moment and do online storage.

This information may not be of use to you, because I don't know your model of your computer or tablet but hopefully they'll give you some ideas.

o If the flashdrive will not install the software, there could be two reasons for this:

1.) The flashdrive could possibly be empty; if you had your information "stored" onto this, do you have the back-up hardware to re-install it?

2.) If you do not currently have anything on the flashdrive and there is an error, then the flashdrive may not be compatible to your make/model of tablet or computer.

You may have to have a computer professional MANUALLY put the information into the flashdrive for you to export (this can cost between $80.00 - $86.00 for the full service, depending on who you use or if you have a membership). 

o If you can not afford to have someone do the option, there's really a limit of other options. On-line has a variety of ways to store including:

1.) Dropbox

2.) icloud

3.) Opendrive

4.) Facebook

5.) DeviantArt

6.) Email 

Hopefully, this information is helpful and gives you some ideas/options about storing your files.

What about Google Docs? That's usually how I back things up online.

The flash drive is new and supposed to be compatible, I just think with the hard drive issues it won't install correctly.

I've looked into onedrive, through outlook. Seems easy and quick. I haven't checked out much else just because I didn't really know where to start.

I really love Google and suggest it. Whenever I pause or edit it automatically saves the new changes, it's been a life saver for me before :] But it's the only one I've used sooo :p
