3. Secure Your Data on USB Flash Drive

It is a regular reminder about securing your data in USB flash drive, especially in project session which contains important data like project and term paper. In order to prevent the data lost due to USB flash drive failure or losing, students are strongly advised to

  • Back up your files from USB thumb drive to other location, e.g. home PC
  • Use USB thumb drive on PC only with updated Anti-Virus software installed
  • Enable password protection software on USB thumb drive, if available

Another approach is to make use of online storage, e.g. if you have CPCE's student /staff email account, you can use Microsoft OneDrive, which is bundled with your account and provides 1TB of storage. Users are welcome to approach ITU helpdesk at x0818 / x0819 or email to pfitoper@cpce-polyu.edu.hk for any enquiry on this topic.
