Don't Lose Your Work!

3 Easy Steps to Prevent Lost Files
Avoid the tissue box this semester. When you are working on your important assignments, follow these steps to never end up in tears over lost files
Step 1
Use your OneDrive
Saving files in the cloud is quick, easy, secure and mobile. All Bond students with Office 365 accounts have access to OneDrive, which is 7 GB of free online storage, accessible from all devices
Step 2
Save incrementally. Adding attachments, images or other components to a large document?This is always the point where things can fall down. Save your files incrementally, for example massivepaperv1, massivepaperv2... and so on, so if something goes wrong you can step back to the last saved version
Step 3
Don't work from an email. We can't stress enough that as soon as you open a file from an email, go to File >Save As and choose a sensible location to save the file prior to making any changes. If you are working on a Bond Student computer DO NOT save to the desktop, C: or D: drives of that machine. Use your network drive instead (the one with your SID) or see above about cloud storage

These things are not indestructible and they do get lost. Only use USB storage sticks for temporary storage, or for quickly moving files between devices. Grab a sharpie and put your name and phone number on it. We get bucket loads of USB storage sticks handed in to the Main Library however we can't reunite you with your work if we don't know whose it is.

Still on Webmail? Contact the Service Desk to get upgraded to Office 365
