Say what an external drive adds
What a drive on your desk gives you that a copy in the cloud does not.
An external drive is a small box on your desk holding a copy of your files. No internet, no bill.
The cloud copy survives a house fire. The drive copy survives a lost password and an unpaid bill.
Key points
- A drive is a copy you own, with no bill and no internet
- A cloud copy survives what happens to your house
What to remember
- The two fail differently, which is why people keep both.
- A drive works when nothing else does.
Try this
Work out where your only copy lives today. Whichever of those two places it is not is the one to add.
