College bound, WiFi backup

Looking for WiFi backup system, found....

Any other ideas?
Thanks

What specs are you after?

Something simple for college papers backup system...
Walk in to room, connect laptop, write, backup save

Samsung and Western Digital at least do similar things too. You'd want to settle on a desired capacity and then check out each one for price, performance and features.

Looking at WD and Sam, do they both need internet to backup data ?
Another way to look at this, USB backup without the USB...
WiFi is a good path to backup ... lots of space

Have you considered something like Dropbox that will autosink files to the Cloud as you save them.

Dropbox, Google Drive, One Drive (MS)
All need internet and they have limits...2GB
While WiFi drive does not...well...1-2TB

I don't know for sure but I wouldn't have thought so. They have drives that create a WiFi hotspot, just like the Seagate drive. I would assume that anything that connects to that hotspot has direct access to the drive.
