Hello everyone, first time poster.
It is time to upgrade my computer. I am a graphic designer / video editor (not a ton, but some) / web developer, and I have been using an older Macbook for a few years no. Its time to get rid of this thing and upgrade.
I have become accustomed to the Mac ecosystem, and I would like to stay there. My question is about storage more than anything. I am going to be purchasing one of the new Retinal Mac Book Pro's, but one of the problems is the storage capacity of the devices. At first I thought this was going to be a huge issue, but I realize that this will force me to finally make a decision on how I want to handle all my data (and my clients data) in the long term (which I need to do anyway). I am tired (and scared of losing) my current laptop + a little backup disk - need to upgrade.
I honestly have no idea what to do. Should I have some office hard drive set-up that I plug into every time I use my computer, then sync that to dropbox? I mainly work from home, but I would like to be able to grab my files if I absolutely need to (That is why I thought dropbox would be a good decision).
I hope I have explained myself clearly. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Oh, as of right now I have just under 1TB of data that I have to keep (cannot get rid of anything).
Thanks,
