Saving my work

Do not save your work directly to the UCA computers as they are local to that machine. They are not backed up and are vulnerable to loss of work if the machine requires resetting.

You should use:

Cloud Storage

OneDrive

Microsoft Office 365 is available to all students free of charge. The benefits of this service include 1TB of cloud storage (OneDrive).  You will be able to access this from both on campus and off site.  You can access your personal OneDrive by logging in at office.com

USB Memory Sticks

USB Memory sticks can be used in UCA computers, but do not rely on a memory stick alone. These can be easily corrupted or lost. Make sure you keep backups of your work.

External Hard Drives

USB external Hard Drives can be used in UCA computers, but do not rely on an external hard drive alone. These can be easily corrupted. Make sure you keep backups of your work.
