External Storage and File Sharing

Making sure your website is backed up is very important, maybe one of the most important tasks as a website creator. Three backup services that are compatible with WordPress are UpdraftPlus, DropBox, and Google Cloud. Using these backup services will keep your website content just in case you are faced with unexpected site issues.

UpdraftPlus is very user friendly, easy to use and easy setup and is known to have good customer support. However, some people claim there are issues with the software and its integration.

Dropbox has a number of amazing features but its also easy to use which makes it popular, it has security features which gives your website an extra layer of piece of mind, and it has a file recovery option which is great because you will be able to recovery any work or files you may have deleted in error. While Dropbox has its perks there are a few issues to be aware of like the limited free space, the cost of extra space, and privacy concerns.

Google Cloud is another good option for a backup service and has been known for its scalability and flexibility, reasonable cost, and strong security. However, anyone using google cloud should be aware of geographical limitations, onboarding is confusing, and it’s not compatible with a lot of other applications.
