Keep in mind that all Google Classroom assignments are stored online. The benefit of saving files online (in the cloud) is that the files are accessible on any computer on which the teacher or student logs into their Google Education account. Teachers do not need to worry about doing backups of their files. Students don't have to worry about losing any work or the dog eating their homework!
