Hi there
my mom is working on a file and she usually saves it to her usb memory to take it to her office.

now she wants to create a local copy of the file as well

whenever she saves the file to the usb memory she wants it to be saved to hdd as well, and the vice versa

can this be done via word or any external utilities??

thanks

Under: Tools --> Options --> Save

You'll find the check box "Make local copy of files stored on network or removable drives".

Make local copy of files stored on network or removable drives.

Temporarily stores a local copy of a file that you store on a network or removable drive. When you save the local copy, Word saves your changes to the original copy. If the original file is not available, Word prompts you to save the file in another location to avoid data loss.

I hope it works for you as expected.

Yes, as suggested above, use the brief-case, and set it to auto-synchronize every few <so-many-minutes/hours/days>.
