Managing Legacy File Storage

you might not realize it but your dick cluttered digital world can actually help you declutter your physical world too. As we collect and migrate information from old hard drives US Bs and other old I. T devices. We can finally clear out and throw away or donate our old devices with our one home cloud storage solution. We can easily migrate a ton of our old data including downloads, documents, photos and videos from old school devices to the cloud. That way our files are available anytime anywhere. And more importantly we have the peace of mind that comes with shifting our digital storage to the cloud With physical devices. Our data is ultimately still vulnerable to natural disasters like fire or floods or even just plain old human carelessness. I'm pretty sure we've all misplaced or lost one. USB moving our file storage to the cloud means more accessibility to our data, more secure storage and greater peace of mind. For most of us the world of affordable, accessible cloud storage only...

entered the scene when we were already teenagers, young adults or fully fledged adults. That means that most of us have had quite a few years to accumulate an assortment of storage solutions. U. S. B. S hard drives, cds Dvds, even floppy drives. So in this lecture let's clean up your old storage devices and migrate any legacy data. We can think of legacy data as information stored on a format that is out of day or difficult to access basically any device you're not using on a daily basis. We promised you a comprehensive digital decluttering guide. So let's get comprehensive to begin your first going to go on a little I. T. Scavenger hunt around your home and office, collect all I. T. And storage devices. This includes old computers, phones and tablets, hard drives, us, bees cds and dvds, old cameras, memory cards and sim cards. If you want to go for total digital peace of mind you can use this as an opportunity to collect all straight I. T. Devices in your home. This can include old ipods, music players, e readers, chargers, cables et cetera basically anything you're not using on a daily basis. Take the time to really comb through all drawers and find everything. If you're already taking the time to clean out your I. T. World. Let's really do it Next you're going to plug in or turn on each device 1x1 and migrate all of the files you wish to keep from the device to the cloud. For some devices this is going to be a quick job but for others this can take a while. One tip. Don't get caught in opening each and every file you want to avoid taking long trips down digital memory lane when in doubt just migrate everything to the cloud and you can delete files later on regarding old C. D. S. Dvds or even video tapes put those aside for now we'll cover those in the music and video lectures of the course. Once you've cleared out the rest of your devices you're going to have a pretty big pile of old cables, devices and chargers. What do we do next first? Take a quick look through the pile and see if there's anything that you want to gift or donate. Another great option is to re sell these items. Apple has a known trade in program that you can use to trade in eligible devices for credit towards your next Apple purchase or get an Apple store gift card. Even if your device isn't eligible for credit they'll still recycle it for free. Declutter dot com offers another great service for decluttering old hardware. They buy a wide range of I. T. Items including cell phones, computers, cds Dvds, tablets, wearables and video games. You can log onto their site for an instant valuation and then pack your items, shipment is free and they'll pay you after the items arrive. Finally for all those stray cables and appliances you can head to your local best buy best buy has the largest retail collection program in the US for E. Waste. They recycle most I. T. Products and sometimes even offer you discount coupons for new purchases. One big suggestion. Don't delay. Take care of clearing away this old hardware as soon as you can preferably this week it'll feel amazing and you may even make a nice little pile of cash, chances are you'll even cover the cost of this course. See we promised you value for money

This class is well organized and flows well. There is one thing I do NOT like is the reference to another class in the Syllabus: "Kill The Chaos of Information Overload with Evernote Webinar" The webinar has only one good tip, use Tabs in Evernote. The webinar hypes more tips if you buy the course by Charles Bird. I bought the course for $197 which was listed as a discount from a much higher price. The course is poorly assembled, out of date, and hardly worth more than a few dollars. It assembled with a bunch of short videos, each video starts after he is talking and ends before he is finished. Evernote Scanner is no longer made and Evernote no longer supports the software.
