Carbonite Cloud Backup
Carbonite takes the stress out of protecting the files you don't realize you need until they're gone. The cloud backup service automatically saves files and photos in the background as they're created, eliminating storage caps and the hassle of manual backups. Everything is encrypted and accessible from any device, so if a laptop crashes, gets damaged, or disappears, you can restore your data to a new machine without starting from scratch. It's the kind of set-it-and-forget-it service that quietly does its job until the moment you need it most.

It's less a tech chore than a recurring digital reset, leaving your Mac cleaner, lighter, and ready for Monday.
