Hello
On weekdays, I use my lunch break from work to stay at my desk and work on my novel.
I'm running into problems with how to transport what I'm working on at home to work.
My work has many firewalls ( I guess you call them?) So here is what I've tried:
1. I can't acess my dropbox, my onedrive or amazon cloud service. No google drive either!
2. USB drives are not recognized/usable from home to work computer
3. I found something called open office/personal office and it seemed like it was working, however, things that I wrote during the week weren't showing up in what I was wroking on when i opened the file at home on the weekend, something about using it is not trustworthy. I cant figure out why that happened, unsure if it has something ot do with the wifi at work not saving????
4. Found another cloud type site that I could access called true novelist. Been using it for a few weeks, everything seemed fine. Worked on stuff at home all last week, come in today to work try to acess it and its BLANK??? Ugh hopefully I will find it when I go home today, as I came up with about 4 chapters worth of stuff when I was off last week.
HELP!!! Any ideas?
This hour a day M-F at my lunch hour is gold to me. I have my own quiet office. I need this time to write.
It's hard enough to write and be creative without having to worry about all this tech crap when I'm not a techy person.
thank you in advance, and if I should be posting this somewhere else, please let me know.
