Thank you everybody :) I do think I'm going to have to try a few different things. One is trying to keep a backup on Google docs, attached files in Google, and then also try Carbonite. I have a free DropBox account, but filled that up like the first day with some pics, but will try one of the others. She needs a reliable backup plan for those days when she forgets her flashdrive. It's actually time for me to renew my account with Carbonite so I think I'm going to check into retrieving files from a computer not on the account. thnx again! melissa On Tue, Dec 13, 2011 at 3:24 AM, Gini Mullaly <gkmullaly@gmail.com> wrote: > It has been quite awhile since I have had Carbonite, so perhaps how it > operates has since changed.  Having said that, I know that there were a few > times that I accessed my home computer files while at work.  My work > computer has never had Carbonite software on it.  I went to > carbonite.comand signed into my account and made my way to the files. > I was able to > select and download those files to my work computer. snip > > As I say, maybe with present day rules, going to Carbonite on another > computer is no longer allowed. > Gini

I think I have seen flashdrives that attach to your keychain but if she is like my grandchildren she might not reattach it to her keys. Even worse she might forget her keys.
