REMINDER
Please be sure you are backing up your macbook contents!
- Place your important documents in Google Drive.
- Use Time Machine and an external hard drive to back up your macbook contents.
- Photos take up a lot of space. I highly suggest placing these on an external hard drive rather than storing them on your macbook. Besides, photos are precious memories and backing them up ensures you will not lose them. My photos are backed up on Shoeboxapp on my macbook and iPhone. I also place them on my external hard drive rather than in iPhoto.
If you need assistance or have questions, feel free to email me.
