Much easier than using USB or external drives.
I subscribe to Microsoft 365 for $70 per year. It provides the Microsoft Office software (Word, Powerpoint, Excel, Outlook, etc.) on all of your internet devices, and the programs can be downloaded for offline use. But, it also provides 1TB of cloud storage using OneDrive. I use about half of the cloud storage for lossless music files. It is a very good deal.
