            Backing up your Notepad++ files from your Mac to an external drive is a crucial step in maintaining a clean and organized digital workspace while ensuring the safety of your valuable data. Here’s a quick guide to help you with the process:

            Locate Your Notepad++ Files: Begin by opening Finder and navigating to the folder where your Notepad++ files are stored. These files are typically found in your user directory or within specific project folders.

            Select the Files: Click and drag your cursor to select the Notepad++ files you want to back up. Alternatively, you can use keyboard shortcuts like Command + A to select all files in a folder.

            Copy the Files: Once you’ve made your selection, right-click on the highlighted files and choose “Copy” from the context menu. You can also use the keyboard shortcut Command + C for copying.

            Connect the External Drive: Ensure that your external drive is connected to your Mac. If not, plug it in.

            Paste the Files: Open your external drive in Finder, right-click within the drive, and select “Paste” from the context menu, or simply use the keyboard shortcut Command + V. This action will copy the selected Notepad++ files to your external drive.

            Verify the Backup: Double-check the external drive to confirm that the files have been successfully copied, leaving you with a clean and organized backup of your Notepad++ files.

            By following these steps, you’ll maintain a clean and well-organized digital environment while ensuring your essential data is safely stored on an external drive.

              Your reply sounds AI-ish, and that is forbidden here.

                I cannot prove it, but I believe all the previous replies are AI/spammers (though the first is plausible enough), trying to give enough credulous-sounding answers to be able to earn an upvote, so that on their next post, they can post a spam link. (I’m not even convinced the original post wasn’t just fishing for an upvote.)

                Let this serve as an object lesson to readers of the forum: the spammers / AI-bots are getting better at trying to worm their way into being able to spam us with links.
