I'd be nothing without my Dropbox! It's where I save all my files. I keep very little on my computer's hard drive. So if accidentally dropped my laptop into the ocean or if it got stolen, I could rest assured all my important files are backed up and safe. It also makes it easy to access files across multiple devices. I'm a Dropbox customer for life!

G Suite is an integrated suite of secure, cloud-based collaborations and solutions powered by Google. In short, get everything you need to get done with Google's professional email, online storage and more. The real perk of using G Suite for me is using my domain with the gmail interface. It's the best way to manage emails in my opinion! Try it for free for 14 days...and after that, get it as low as $6/month.
