That would be a great service for new customers cloud customers, Emily. I think your suggestion for both hard drive and cloud services a good one. I would only use the cloud service for work in progress, though. A google drive or such should suffice. Bank safe deposit boxes beat fireproof safes every time. Last I heard, bank robbers don't scrounge for hard drives in the box vault :). Too, paper and electronic devices are much more likely to survive a fire in a bank than at home. bab On Thu, Jun 9, 2016 at 8:20 AM, Emily S.
