1. Your h: Drive
This option is probably best if you work on your education laptop.
When you save files, ensure that they are stored on your h: drive. If you need to use a different computer or laptop in the school, you will be able to access those docs throught the district network.
NOTE: You will not be able to access these drives if you are not using a district device that logs onto the district nextwork.
With this you...

...can print and edit them from anywhere
...can easily share them with colleagues and students if needed.
