Which is the best option to keep my images?

I'm working on my thesis and sometimes I use the notebook or the computer.

At the moment, I'm keeping my LaTeX files on Google Drive. Is that the best option?

Because sometimes, when I use the computer some errors messages show to me. Like: Error file or Couldn't find image...

I would like to have the liberty to work both on the notebook and the computer. What have I to do to have this liberty?

If you move to a computer that doesn't have your images, compile using \usepackage[draft]{graphicx}. It'll allow you to compile without error if the images aren't available. – Werner Sep 21 '19 at 04:49

I'm using git for this. Version control is good anyway. – Ulrike Fischer Sep 21 '19 at 07:36
Welcome to TeX.SE. IMHO, I would recommend you download the Dropbox app on both computers and work in a folder in the Dropbox folder. This way you don't need to be online to work and the files will synch up next time you connect. – Peter Grill Sep 21 '19 at 07:38
Clarification: where are you keeping the images? In the same Drive folder or somewhere separate on your computer? – confusedandbemused Sep 21 '19 at 07:53
