My first experience with Spideroak Support was very positive. Recall that I recently wrote about organizing your files and what I do to back them up. (Yes, you should be backing them up. By now, folks, that’s a total “duh,” so man up and start really backing up for your files!) Anyway, Spideroak starts [...] Do you hate looking for files on your computer?
