Personal Data on Work Computer [closed]

Personal Data on Work Computer [closed]

Easy way: treat it like a public machine and set any site you visit to NOT save your credentials. You can do this with most websites (including Gmail). For Skype, disable auto-login on startup. Dropbox - just do not use it on your work computer.In the end, it comes down to trust. If you can not trust your IT admins that they are professional and will not snoop in your personal data, then you have other things to worry about

Can I use GitHub.com (paid version) to store my pictures and personal data?

Sure, butIt's not particularly cost-effective - space on Amazon S3 is a lot cheaper, and for reasonable amounts of data there are free options, like Dropbox.The fact that it's "private" does not mean that you can get away without encrypting your files. Mistakes happen.GitHub's pretty reliable, but keep your repo backed up locally anyway. (You can do this easily by pushing to a bare repo on your backup drive.) Remember that cloud services can go out of business, suffer an outage, or get DDOSed, and it's sure to happen just when you need access to your data.I do not know what GitHub's limits are, but do not expect them to let you store a couple of terabytes of video for $7/month.

What are some considerations before moving personal data to Google Drive?

This is more of a comment than an answer, but apparently I am not allowed to comment yet. If you are concerned about the privacy of your cloud storage, you may want to consider Tresorit as an alternative to Google Drive. It offers client-side encrypted storage & syncing, so the Tresorit engineers are not even supposed to be able to tell what files you are storing there, let alone their contents. It's also hosted in Switzerland to take advantage of that country's strong privacy laws.Of course, it has the same downside as all true encryption, which is that if you lose your password, there's nothing they can do to help you

What is the benefit of having two partitions on an SSD, one for Windows 10 and the other for personal data?

Except for a recovery image, I can see no good reason for partitioning any drive, much less an ssdThose claiming it's easier to backup, neglect the fact, with modern files systems, you can easily create "virtual partitions"_ (a term I personally made up) just by making a file and putting all the data you think you need backed up into that file.These files can have sub-files and will for most practical purposes, do the same thing as a partition.I suppose a case could be made, if your os is on a separate partition, you can image that to save operating system settings, but there's no practical reason you wouldn't image your files along with the system, not to forget, if the drive fails that partition usually fails too. Your backup has to be on a separate hard drive if you want actual redundancy.Image your operating system including files to a separate hardrive. this is the best backup, especially if you do it on a schedule, deleting older images along the way. If you're replacing the entire computer, not just the hard drive, that image isn't usually going to boot on new hardware.What is the benefit of having two partitions on an SSD, one for Windows 10 and the other for personal data?
