Google Drive.

Google Drive is a cloud storage service…

Essentially, it’s a hyped up version of Google Docs. You can store your documents, photos, music, videos, etc. all in one place. It syncs with your mobile devices and your computer, so if you make a change from one gadget, it will automatically show up if you were to access it elsewhere.

It tracks your changes too, so if you make an edit to the document and hit save, you can still look back at all your revisions from the past 30 days. Of course it relies heavily on Google search, with image recognition for browsing your photos and some OCR capabilities for sniffing out text in pictures.

Try it for Free

You can get up to 5GB of space for free, after which you can upgrade. It’s $2.49/month for 25GB, $4.99/month for 100GB, and $49.99 a month for a whopping 1TB. If you move to a premium account it also automatically expands your Gmail storage to 25GB. Suggest getting the free 5GB’s to start this is more then enough to”Test Drive Google Drive”.  Google has an impressive 10GB limit on files or folders. This is significantly more than the 2GB limit imposed by most cloud services.  Many find Google drive very comfortable and easy to navigate, very user friendly. Soon many reach the 5GB space in a short period of time and decide to purchase a monthly plan. Very few customers  ever regret their decision, being able to have a centralized place for their data that is always available to them on go.

Backupify Your Lava.net

Did you know you can back up your Lava.net account? With Backupify, you can quickly and easily set up a free account and begin backing up your mail in about 3 to 5 minutes. Take a look.

Your mail, docs, contacts, and calendar events are actually pretty safe in the cloud. Left on its own, it’s likely that it will remain there, uninterrupted, for the duration of the account’s life cycle. So why would we need a back-up of our mail, documents, etc.?

Two words: user errors.

We’ve all done it before, accidentally deleting an important calendar events, emails or documents. Its not uncommon, and a lot of times, that data can be recovered. But for those instances where recovery is not possible, having a backup isn’t such a bad idea.

Google Privacy Changes

Heard about this yet?

You may have seen the notification that Google is consilidating it’s privacy policies into a single policy across it’s various products and services. While a lot of speculation exists as to what this means, Google has been proactive in addressing some of the rumors surrounding these privacy changes.

Concerns about the privacy changes seem to focus around the availability or sale of personal information about users to private corporations. Let’s be honest, this isn’t anything new as this seems to be accepted as standard practice by Yahoo! and Hotmail users.

Google’s Good to Know campaign answers and addresses a lot of these concerns without letting it’s message get lost in minutiae and detail. Users will have some control over how their data is leveraged within Google and are also assured of privacy. However, policies (as we have seen) can be changed, and I think that is what concerns people most; while Google may be adhering to its “Don’t be evil” policy now, but will this always be the case?

You can get more information about the privacy changes that will be implemented in March here http://www.google.com/goodtoknow/
