I have hundreds of actions set to save images into folders. Is there a way to save the actions so that I can open them on another computer and will work? If something happens to my computer now with all the saved actions I think I''ll just quit on life. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Just save actions as already suggested. You can upload actions anywhere to services like CC Assets, Google Drive, Dropbox etc. .. for the case that you experience crash and you can not retrieve files saved on hard drive.

There is above good point that you can load action on different computer but to make them work as actions use to work you must have exactly the same configuration: if you have action to save file on drive C inside Images folder which is inside Pictures folder then you must have all mentioned drives and folders on new computer if you want to sucesfully run action.

I need the already saved actions to work on another computer not how to save them although i do appreciate the advice the issue is the folder destination in the actions saved only seem to work on the computer you recorded the action but was wondering if there was something that could be done that would still allow the actions to run and save the files into a new folder on a new computer.

You must re-record Save step with new folder as destination or rename folder to match recorded folder name and folder path. Both: folder name and folder path are hard coded and must be present in new computer if you want action to work. Expand Save step and you should see something like: As: JPEG, Quality: 11, In: /exact path where to save....
