I currently drop pictures of quilts that I see here on QB and elsewhere into different folders on my desktop. Convenient yes, but only possible to access from my PC. If I'm traveling and find something interesting while browsing on my IPad I have to remember to find it again when I'm home on my PC to drop a picture of it somewhere. I might have to check into PInterest!

I too am grateful for your explanation AFQSinc... Pinterest makes so much more sense now.

Also... Have you all tried Dropbox? It's a free file backup system that works great. After a system crash that happened after I had not made back ups of my files for a few months, we now store and work on all our files through Dropbox. I do all my work in those files and they are updated as soon as you save the file whenever you add or make changes.

No more worrying about lost work if you didn't do a backup! I bring this up because it is accessible from any online device and you can also share files across the Internet... like if you were working on a group project or wanted to show someone something you had saved.

Hand in hand it seems like Pinterest and Dropbox would have you totally covered.
