Full hard drive on laptop

My laptop’s hard drive is almost full. I have windirstat (I think that is its name) to show where the biggest section of files are. It has a theoretical one tb drive but that does not mean I have a TB of actual space to use of course. I cannot afford a desktop at this time. I am thinking of another attempt at an external hdd but I am hesitant as i would need to travel with it and I am afraid something might happen to it.
what are good external portable HDD’s? I know that not everywhere I go to do my 3D/2D work has an outlet as right now I am not near a power outlet (at least not one near a table and chair! Not wanting to do 3D on the floor.)
another reason not for a desktop is that it is hard to get work done on the computer at home, but that is another topic for another day.
what is an effective way to delete all my DS content to restart better? Especially when (and if) I get a new external hard drive?

Wouldn't cloud storage, like dropbox, be a better solution than a portable HDD? Unless you need multiple Tb's for some reason.
When you do get to the desktop part, look into splashtop. It's pretty cheap for the license to use over the internet and as long as you don't install the video drivers in the options, you can use Daz Studio just as if you were sitting at your pc.
As far as your current HD situation, is it almost full due to installed products, or DIM zips not being deleted after install? Perhaps other files on your laptop that could be transfered over to thumb drives instead? (Those are getting pretty large now-a-days)
