Skype; Add Ons
• Cucku backup, backs your computer files up to a trusted Skype contact or second PC. Free to use.
The educational use for this is more for teachers, as a tool to back up their student files. Students can use this as well for their home files, but this feature would be more useful to high school and college students.
