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…
I wrote about one of Google’s great apps called, “Google Calendar Sync” in 2012. Then in 2013 they did away with it. It was an easy to use add-on for Google that made it easy to sync between your Outlook (usually work related) and Google calendars. That way you could have your business appointments in…
I have written before about Google having rolled out many very good applications over time. I have also remarked that unfortunately they also kill many very good applications off when they should not. I have listed several of my favorites in earlier columns so I will not again. If you are interested read this for…
As you regular readers know I am a fan of Google and yet on occasion they fail me totally. Mostly this is due to them doing away with applications I use and enjoy: Google Reader, Calendar Sync, iGoogle, Google Notebook just to name a few. But I enjoy their products so much that I have…
As you regular readers know, I like Google. Google is not perfect but they have many great apps. In the past I have been disappointed in their corporate decisions to do away with some of their more desirable apps. For instance iGoogle homepage, Calendar Sync and Google Reader to name a few. I learned something…
Over three years ago I mentioned an excellent product named Dropbox. Dropbox is a “cloud” storage program which allows you to save all sorts of files on a site located on the web. It allows you to “sync” your files without you doing anything to your free 2 GB container of online storage. If you…
I have always been a big fan, supporter, promoter, etc. of Google. That is until recently and here is why they are starting to work their way off of my radar. Google is performing what is termed "Spring Cleaning" on several of their products. They shut down services/apps which they do not believe are being…
After last week’s column about Google’s calendar I could not believe the number of emails I received. The great majority of them were asking about tying that calendar to others, mainly Outlook for people who use Microsoft products in the office. I wrote about this several years ago but the response deserves it again, along…
I always receive emails from Android users asking what apps I like to run on my phone and tablet. I always have to insert when I mention phones that I work for NTELOS Wireless, so there you go. Anyway, I thought instead of writing each person individually for a while I would tell you all…
I do not like to write columns that relate to only a small segment of my readers but sometimes it is necessary. Because of email requests these things pop up from time to time. I have received several requests about this over the last couple of months. So today I will explain an online application…
