For years now I have recommended and supported Dropbox.com. It is still good for your online/cloud file storage. It has a good free plan that starts with 2GB of storage. I feel that Dropbox is still good; however, they made a change recently that concerned me. (If I was not writing this for the public…
Floyd wrote this week and asked an excellent question. He has several Cloud storage sites that he often uses. Floyd has all the most popular ones; Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, and Amazon Drive. Keep in mind there are many more out there. He wanted to know if there was any way he could log into…
Welcome to the beginning of our fourteenth year together with the Double Click column. Every January we review the sites that we visited in the previous year. Today is no different. So as always, if the site addresses are too long to type I have shortened them using the "bit.ly" app so the links may…
Last week I gave you a better way to prep your Android devices before getting rid of them. Dana wrote and asked me a great question related to that process. Although I am well aware of it from personal experience, I had never thought about mentioning here. So thanks, Dana, for the idea; I think…

This week I will continue with the second half of the links we talked about last year at DoubleClicks.info. Remember, if the site addresses are too long to type I have shortened them with bit.ly. Here they are in their order of appearance with short descriptions of each. Dropbox – bit.ly/aszzao. A very good cloud…
You just bought a new notebook computer (or desktop for that matter) but you want to clean up before you give it away. That is a nice thing to do for someone who may need a computer but is not able to afford a new one. Also, you are concerned about your personal information on…
I often receive questions about where you can save your documents in the cloud (online). In the past I have written about Mesh.com and Google Docs.
