When you’re working on a document or other computer file, you can always save it to your computer’s hard drive. Sometimes, you may want to bring your file with you and open it on a different computer. In this lesson, we’ll talk about two ways to save your files so you can access them from almost anywhere.

• USB drive: USB or flash drives are small, removable hard drives that plug into the USB ports on your computer. They are relatively inexpensive (usually less than $20) and can be purchased at any store with an electronics section.
• Cloud storage: Cloud storage means you save your files on servers on the Internet using an account with a cloud service. With cloud storage, you can access your files from any computer with Internet access without having to keep track of a physical device.

USB drives and the cloud can also be used to back up your files. To learn more, check out our lesson on Backing Up Your Files.
