Cloud Storage Of Microsoft

I have used Microsoft 365 for several years and find it convenient when updates are made to the system. I like the one drive cloud storage and the ability to share with members of my family.

I have now subscribed to the Creative Cloud Photography Plan for 3 years now. Each time I was able to take advantage of a discounted subscription card from B&H which makes this an even better value. The CC plan includes Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop and 20GB of CC cloud storage. The CC plan also includes access to a number of mobile apps which can be used on your iPad or iPhone with the CC cloud storage keeping all of the devices synchronized. The CC cloud makes it extremely convenient to share your processed photos with others.

Fairly easy to learn cloud storage features.

When Microsoft banned computer hardware that didn't have the TPM chip and therefore would not run Windows 11, I said, That's it. Fool me once Microsoft. shame on you... What's to stop Microsoft from doing this again in the future? I began looking at alternatives and decided that running Windows 11 as a Virtual Machine (VM) inside a product called Parallels Desktop on a Mac was the way to go. I'm one who always assembled his own PC's and keeping my budget at $1000 for the box (no new monitor, keyboard, mouse, external devices) BUT, if I was going to run Windows 11 inside of my new Mac, the Mac had better be on the robust end of the spectrum. My former Macs have always had 8 to 16GB of RAM which was adequate for my usage. But since Windows 11 doesn't thrive until reaching 16GB, I decided that 32GB should be fine with this new Mac (it's perfect) Next, storage. VM's require a lot of storage space. I'm running a Windows 11 VM, Mac Sonoma (this is an additional Mac VM) and a Linux VM. My Mac now has 850GB free on a 2TB drive. Yes, get the 2TB storage! I have no storage insecurity which counts for a lot. Perhaps I'll try moving the VM's to external storage someday but I don't have resources for trying experiments now - using RAID arrays, etc. So now I have an expensive Mac (it's all relative, I know). I justify it by saying that I was going to have to buy my $1000 Windows box anyway plus I wanted the new Mac silicon. Installing Parallels Desktop and the Windows 11 VM is mostly an automated experience. Everything is fast.

I love my new scanner, I use it for scanning documents into a software program for cloud storage, it's efficient and easy to use.

I wanted a local storage solution for our Photo Archives even though we have networked and cloud-based servers. With its mirrored RAID configuration I'm confident we won't lose any images. The Thunderbolt interface is fast and having USB 3.0 makes it flexible. A while back we had our company servers (and backup servers) crash and would have lost 15-20 years worth of images if it hadn't been for our local archives. So I kind of swear by these now.

This is fast and easy! Set up shortcuts and even scan straight to your cloud storage. Saves a lot of time and makes storing documents easy and electronic.

This Flash Drive for an Iphone is a great way to store your pictures without the cloud. Once you organize in Albums it is easy to go through pictures and enjoy them without the extra cost of paying for Cloud services, or upgrading phone to a newer version with more storage. You can also view them on a computer too, so excellent storage capabilities!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using IronKey USB drives for well over 10 years for secure storage of sensitive personal data. Ease of use and compatibility with laptops and desktops with USB ports is a given. Good news is that this drive supports USB 3 and USB 2. The AES 256 encryption ensures data is safe and cannot be accessed even if the physical drive is lost. It is slightly smaller than a disposable cigarette lighter and has a bit of hefty feel to it unlike the others that come in a plastic case and are quite light (comparatively speaking). When plugged into a laptop, the device shows up as two additional drives - a DVD-RW drive with 92Mb of used space and no free space and a second drive that is not accessible. To use the device, the included software on what is listed as the DVD-RW drive is used to set up the storage device. The process lets the use set up a password/passphrase and makes the storage accessible. This process makes the drive really secure but the other side of the coin is that the drive cannot be shared unless others also install the included software on their laptop/desktop. So, not the ideal device for casual sharing of content but for secure transfers and retention of sensitive data, this is perfect. There is no way to accidentally lose the data. The included USBtoCloud capability connects the physical USB storage to cloud storage such as OneDrive, Google drive, Box, etc. This cloud connection is available for 5 years after which a paid subscription is needed. I did not set this up as the USB includes personal financial data which I do not want to store in the cloud. Otherwise, this option is really useful. Your data remains accessible on the cloud even if the physical drive is lost. Overall, a solid drive that ensure safe and secure storage of data with cloud backup option for additional flexibility

I really don't use the Cloud storage and hence go with this 20GB plan. looks like all the plans are set for 1T. the problem here is that i would like to subscribe to an Adobe everything plan, but the 1T plans are not the same Adobe product, hence it doesn't work. My 12 month subscription doesn't run out for a while, so not sure what i'm going to do.
