don't have to make sure everyday that is  creating a backup in your home in case  you have a self hosted server again if  you're looking to just save something on  the cloud um Dropbox or onedrive would  be great for you if you want to create  something like that this would be the  tutorial for it so now let's continue on  first you need to go to cloud waste comm  unnecessary links are in the description  box below  you can either click on the green big  button or start free trial on the top  right once here you can log in using any  other social media which you probably  might have or just create  count once you create the account click  on free trial and immediately send you  an email to confirm your account once  you click on activate your account now  you'll be directed to the create a  server section in cloud leis now here  select your applications by clicking on  your drop-down select
