How to Compress Files: Best Solutions

I do a lot of work for people over the web. Which means I end up having to send them large files that are full of text files, video clips, animations, photos and sometimes .exe files. The problem is that these are inevitably too large to be posted through a standard email, some having to be sent through a program like DropBox or uploaded onto something like RapidFile.

Usually, I try to keep everything together. The easiest way to do this is by compressing the files and sending them in a much smaller bundle that has been reduced the megabites to a more manageable number. Making it possible to send more through attachments without going over the maximum allocated amount.

This is also helpful for system backups, as I can keep everything in a compressed file that lets me fit more onto a flash or external hard drive. All just come of the benefits of using a standard file compression software to manage your desktop and folders.

All platforms have a basic program that comes installed standard, though usually in a trial version. You will have to buy a real version within 30 - 90 days, depending on what program it is. Unless you download an open source, free to use program in its place.

Here is a list of five different compression softwares that will offer you the best solutions.

Why Should you Backup?

This blog will be a little fragmented and I apologise but I’m sure it will be legible all the same. This blog as you can tell is about backing up. I backup everything to about 12 different places and I try my hardest to keep everything in sync. I am going to list the main reason for backing up and what the best services or ways of doing so are. Okay, so backing up… Backing up in my opinion is one of the most important parts of owning digital media; I back up all the time mainly because if I lost all my data I would probably fall to the floor in the fetal position and cry for weeks on end. I’m sure this is the case with everyone who takes pride in work or schoolwork and people that love music and couldn’t bare to loose it but what are the best and safest ways to back up? The answer to this question is different for everyone but for me it’s everything!
