Is there any way I can make my computer email my files to my email address automatically?

Question

I would like for my computer to email certain folder contents that contain my homework to my email address. I would like for them to be emailed every five minutes or so, so that in case my computer crashes, I don't have to panic about my homework being totally gone. Does anyone know of a program I can get for...

Answer 1

Not that I am aware of.

Any app you did try to use would have a problem if you were using one of the files in the folder at the time because it would be locked and not able to be copied.
Also, depending on the size of the folder, you could end up with it taking a while to email.

I think you would be much further ahead to just get yourself a good thumb drive and make copies of your homework every time you finish with it.
