Digital Resources for Saving Documents

First things first, you should probably have an email address. Check out this article on the options of free, web-based email. When choosing a email address name, keep these things in mind:

  • KISS: Keep it simple, Sweetie. You want your email to be memorable and easy to share when someone asks for it. Believe me, your Instagram name is catchy and memorable, but it is NOT appropriate for emails from your employers, teachers, and tax representatives. Just think what your boss will think when your email is b1k1n1h0tt13@godaddy.com
  • Use your name, numbers, and punctuation. For example, if your name is Jay Gatsby, make your email jgatsby1922@ or jaygatsby@ or jg1922@ or gatsby22@ . Short, simple, easy to remember.
There are also plenty of cloud storage websites and apps that you can save your working documents to also be accessed from any device with internet. 

I personally use Google Drive and the Amazon Cloud. I have also used DropBox and have been happy with each of them! Here are some pros and cons for a few of the favorite Cloud programs from a professional review website.
