I use Dropbox (cloud storage) to save my files - the main advantage of this is that I can access my work either in my studio, or at home. In these final days before hand-in, to maximise my productivity I have doing a day's work in my studio, focussing on the actual drawing, then going home and doing a more hours working on the work-a-day elements like fixing the lettering, applying texture and tone layers consistently to pages, and generally fixing any glitches or niggles. The problem I have with Dropbox is that, as a back-up save (in my use of it) it doesn't save to Dropbox in the same time it takes to save to the computer, so it's not unusual to find that I can't access from home the version I just completed before I left the studio. I've learnt how to work around that, in fact it's partly why I do colouring etc at home - that's usually on pages I've done some time before, and therefore are accessible inter most recent versions on Dropbox. Today, though in the studio, I can't access any of the work i did at home last night. Additionally, while Clip Studio's page management system is clever enough to know when the file has been changed elsewhere, and ask me if I want to update to that, I'm not sure how it would work if I had two sets of changes made in different places, so I'm avoiding finding out! For the panel I'm working on (post immediately below), I've just copied what I want into a separate single page document, and from there I'll post onto the page-managed version later.
