Create more than one independently stored copy of files worth keeping.
Begin with the real constraint
Create more than one independently stored copy of files worth keeping. The aim is a small setup you can actually complete, not a larger collection of equipment. Lay out what you already have and notice the step that creates friction before changing anything.
Check the fit before going further
A synced folder can repeat a deletion or mistake; check the recovery options of any service before relying on it. Conditions and specifications vary, so treat this as a question to verify with the relevant maker, venue or source when it applies. A quick trial with the actual objects is more useful than a promise based on a photograph.
Finish where the next session begins
Open a sample file from the second location and note when the check happened. Take a moment to check that the result is accessible, safe for your situation and simple to repeat. If it still feels cumbersome, reduce the scope before adding a new purchase.
