If critical files aren’t properly and frequently backed up, it is really a question of WHEN, and not IF, you’ll lose precious information. With the emergence of cloud storage — that is online storage — you can back up and store files without having to invest in and hook up external hard drives or other removable media. Storing your material in the cloud, of course, also means that you can access it from any Internet-connected computer or device, and not just the local machine on which the files were otherwise stored. And with today’s technology, your stuff is just as secure on the Web as it is on your USB thumb drive or external hard drive.

There are a bunch of options on the Web, but one of the best and most versatile cloud storage solutions you’ll find is Go Daddy’s Online File Folder, which, in addition to storage and sharing capabilities, allows you to easily set up godaddy cloud backup at whatever intervals you prefer. You can back up specific folders or, if you get an Online File Folder plan with sufficient storage capabilities, your entire computer hard drive.

Online File Folder includes a plethora of other cool features that can help both personal and business users. For example, you can set up collaborators so that specific individuals — co-workers, for example — can access and edit — particular files in your Online File Folder.

Online File Folder even includes a desktop tool that allows you to manage key functions without having to fire up your browser and log in to your account. For example, you can set up Drive Map, which means that your Online File Folder appears as a virtual drive on your computer, which lets you access and manage files without having to log in to your account.

Of course, there’s also an iPhone App for Online File Folder, so you can manage your files, syncs, backups, etc. from your Apple phone.
