As technology evolves, innovative ideas emerge, each with the potential to grow into something transformative. Just as a seed blossoms into a vibrant flower, an idea can develop into a powerful solution. One such innovation is cloud storage and modern backup technologies, designed to help us securely store, back up, share,<\/del> and protect our valuable data. <\/ins><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are five of <\/ins>our recommendations for securely storing classwork and assignments to avoid the loss of time due to data corruption or file loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our recommendations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Getting started<\/strong> <\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

First set–<\/ins>up your Curtin OASIS Account by following our online the <\/ins>guide<\/a><\/ins>. Make sure you visit our IT Tools and Guides webpage<\/a> to understand the IT systems you will use as a student.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Storage in the cloud <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Utilise your free terabyte of OneDrive<\/a> cloud file storage. By using OneDrive, it is easier to save, access,<\/del> and share your university files.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Staying organised and avoiding lost work<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Creating a well-structured folder system makes it easy to manage your work. Additionally, saving multiple versions (e.g., v0.1, v0.2) ensures you don\u2019t lose progress if a file gets corrupted. Not sure where to start? Check out Curtin\u2019s guidance for naming and versioning documents and files<\/a>. Doing a research project? See the Curtin Library\u2019s Research Toolkit<\/a> to get started.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Set limits between your work and personal life<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Limit your student Outlook account to university-related tasks and avoid using it for personal subscriptions (e.g., online shopping or MyGov). Only save university-related resources on your OneDrive. These accounts will close shortly after you graduate or leave Curtin. If you use these accounts for personal use,<\/ins> you may end up locked out of personal accounts and files after you leave the University.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Keep your password private<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Keep your password private and never share it, even with someone claiming to be from the university. Use strong, unique passwords and consider a password manager to keep your accounts secure.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further information<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
