All the tools in the world don’t matter, if you use them like toys.Having 50 GB OF FREE CLOUD STORAGE!!! isn’t meaningful unless you use it, any more than having more pixels on a screen than you can see.
I’ve just come across Otixo. It’s a great solution to a growing problem; we have “stuff” scattered all across the Internet in various “cloud” locations, but as soon as you use more than one you create questions about what got stored where. And good luck moving things from one place to another.
Yesterday I promised to tell you everything you need to know about Google Drive. GDrive is a subject that been tossed around literally for years; we all knew Google Drive would show up eventually, and if “storing your stuff on line” was the only thing that interested you, it’s possible that you figured out how to create a virtual “Google Drive” years ago by putting your files into GMail.
You’re in the cloud, right?
Well, of course you are. Even if you don’t think or talk about it using platitudes, there’s some application you use that works on The Internet instead of on your own computer or network. I’ve mentioned before that you need to start taking this “cloud” thing seriously.
When I wrote that piece on taking The Cloud seriously, I pointed out that I had set up my son with an Ubuntu installation that utilized exactly two pieces of software that didn’t come as part of his new operating system. One is Evernote, for taking notes easily, and the other is Dropbox, which gives you access to all of your important files from any computer.
