A 'live draft' backup service to prevent loss of unsaved file changes.
A person is willing to pay $50 to recover a single unsaved Excel file, showing just how much lost work can be valued. This highlights an opportunity for a proactive data-loss prevention SaaS. The product would be a lightweight desktop agent that runs in the background, automatically backing up in-progress or unsaved versions of files from selected applications like Office Suite, Adobe Suite, and code editors to the cloud. If there's a crash or accidental closure without saving, the user can easily retrieve the last captured version. This goes beyond standard cloud sync services like Dropbox, which only sync saved files. The service could be sold as a low-cost monthly subscription, offering peace of mind to freelancers, students, and professionals.
