G Suite now lets businesses choose whether their data is stored in the US or Europe

sudshr47 July 24, 2018

Data sovereignty is a major issue for many major companies, especially in Europe. So far, Google’s G Suite, which includes products like Gmail, Google Docs and Sheets, didn’t give users any control over where their data was stored at rest, but that’s changing today. As the company announced at its Cloud Next conference in San […]

I held out for as long as I could. 

I transferred music files to flash drives, deleted massive photo files, and purged outdated email newsletters clogging my storage. Every email from Groupon went into the trash and was permanently deleted. No more chances to go back and “soak up savings.” I was on top of it. The trash button became my friend; archiving the enemy. This is what using Google’s free email service in 2018 looked like for me.

But I couldn’t win — a red banner above my Gmail inbox threatened to cut off my inbound emails and I was tired of constantly deleting everything. The whole point of my personal email was to have a record of everything. I might have a newsletter addiction, but that doesn’t mean I shouldn’t be able to use my email archive. Read more…

Some people bungee jump. Others skydive. And other daredevils walk around without any backup for their photos, videos, and documents. Shove us out of a plane, sure, but there’s no way we’re going without the proper backup for our files.

Getting that backup can be tough, considering your important stuff is likely split between a laptop or two, a phone, and a tablet. And some backup plans, like the ones offered by your phone carrier or Apple, can eat away at your wallet with monthly fees that add up in a lifetime. You’ve probably never heard of Degoo, but it basically does the exact opposite. Read more…
