[ ] Best Practices for File Management & Cloud Integration
- [ ] Regular Backups: Use `tar`, `rsync`, or `rclone` to regularly back up your `$HOME` directory to cloud storage or shared storage.
- [ ] Permissions: Understand and use `chmod` to set file/directory permissions for security.
- [ ] Environment Variables: Store sensitive API keys or credentials in environment variables (e.g., in `~/.bashrc`) rather than directly in scripts.
- [ ] `tmux` / `screen`: Use terminal multiplexers for long-running cloud sync or mount operations to prevent them from being killed if Termux goes to background.
- [ ] Test Small: When setting up new cloud integrations, test with small, non-critical files first.
- [ ] Version Control: For code and important documents, leverage `git` and cloud-based repositories for versioning and collaboration.
