The best thing to do in order not to lose computer files is to back them up. There are a few options available. Files can be backed up online through a 'cloud' service such as Google's drive tool, Dropbox, or Microsoft's SkyDrive which are free and often include 5 gigabyte of space to store your files. The other option is to rent a cloud storage from companies such as Amazon's Cloud Drive and Cubby for a minimul monthly fee. Bitcasa gives you unlimited storage for only $10 per month. The third option would be to buy a seperate external drive or a flash drive and keep your valuable files on these.
