How to Live in the Cloud

Lots of people uses the cloud to store files and photos but do you now that being in the cloud allows you to free some space on any device. If you want to do that but need help I recommend you stay and read this.

1. Photos

Photos are one of the things that are almost on every device. Since we want to free some space on every device that has photos the cloud is your answer. For me I use Google plus photos to back up my devices. Every time I take a picture it automatically backs up when I'm on wifi or automatically after the picture is taken. The bad thing about using Google plus photos is that it ties in with both Google drive and all the media you sent on gmail. If you want a free terabyte worth of just photo storage then use Flickr.

2. Files and Documents

When using files and documents in the cloud you can access and edit them anywhere. For me I use another Google product, I like to use Google drive to store all of my files so I can access them on both my phone, my tablet and any device that I can sign into my Google account. I also use Google Docs and Google Slides for my documents and presentation and they are automatically stored on Google Drive.  I love using these so just in case I switch to iOS I can still access them. If you want to find more options try Microsoft 360 and Microsoft onedrive.



3. Music

For music I would use either Google play music or use a streaming music service. Yes again I use another Google product but that is only because I use Android. I also recommend, if you have a good data plan,  a music streaming service to stream all of your music in stead of buying each song or album one by one. If you do want to buy each song one by one I use Google play music because it automatically saves music in the cloud and if you want to save the album or song for offline then you can pin it to your device. If you have an Apple device then I recommend using iCloud
