8 Best Features and Benefits of Google One

by Omi January 29, 2024
written by Omi

Google’s cloud services are used by a majority of people, but the free service only offers up to 15GB of free storage. If your reliance on Google’s services is high, you’d want to pay the premium and subscribe to Google One. However, did you know that this subscription isn’t about just buying more storage? Here are all the features and benefits of Google One you need to know.

When our iPhone with a base storage of 64GB was running out of space, we decided to expand our Google Photos storage limit with Google One. When we discovered all the features of Google One, we renewed the subscription every month, and it was indeed worth the price. Here’s everything you need to know about Google One and all of its features that were decisive factors in our case. Let’s start from the beginning.

8 Best Features and Benefits of Google One 1

WHAT IS GOOGLE ONE

Google One is a membership that gives you more storage to use across Google Drive, Gmail, and Google Photos. You can also redeem exclusive benefits, back up data from your phone, and get expert support for all things Google.

Google offers 15GB of free-to-use storage for Drive, Gmail, and Google Photos put together. While this is still better than the meager 5GB of free storage that iCloud offers, it won’t be too late to exhaust the free storage, thanks to the ubiquity of Google’s services; most files, photos, and documents are shared through Google Drive and Google Photos.

Google not only decided to offer a few options to expand the cloud storage but also bundled in a few more features for the price you pay. This package is called Google One. You can purchase the subscription for Google One and use all the features on any device, be it an Android device, an iPhone, a Windows, or a Mac machine.

BEST FEATURES OF GOOGLE ONE

Here are some of the best features that Google offers with a subscription to Google One.

  1. Google Drive, Gmail, and Google Photos Storage

Google One primarily offers additional storage for Drive, Gmail, and Photos. The storage options start at 100GB and go as high as 30TB of storage. The expansion of Google Cloud storage is especially helpful if you are using an old smartphone with low storage space. Even better, if you are using an Android device, all the photos can be backed up to the Google Photos app, which also acts as the native gallery app in most cases.

  1. Google One VPN

Recently, Google announced a VPN service in the Google One subscriptions. Well, Google One VPN is like any other VPN in terms of functionality. But since it comes from the house of Google, you can trust their claims of offering a secure and reliable VPN to browse the internet. Google One’s VPN hides your IP address, blocks all the trackers, and also provides a dark web monitoring service.

However, it does not let you change your virtual location like other VPN services to access region-specific content on the internet. But if you’re looking for a VPN that you can count on, you will certainly benefit from this feature of Google One.

  1. Photo Editing Tools

With the launch of Pixel devices, Google announced a magic eraser feature that could accurately remove objects from a photo. But the feature slowly made its way into Google Photos, and anyone could use the feature provided they had a subscription to Google One.

Therefore, if you use Google Photos with the Google One subscription, you get access to a slew of additional editing features for photos. We are fans of these photo editing tools and regularly use them to enhance photos.

Apart from the standard photo editing tools on Google Photos, here are the extra features you get on Google One:

Magic Editor: Remove unwanted objects with ease using this tool.

You have a bunch of options that let you adjust the overall lighting, vibrance, and brightness of the image with one click to completely enhance the photo.

  1. Family Sharing on Google One

Sharing is caring, and Google helps you abide by this motto with Google One. You can share all the benefits of Google One with up to five family members without any additional cost. You can share the pool of storage with your family members, and this certainly makes file and photo sharing easier.

  1. Help From Experts at Google

With a Google One subscription, you get instant access to all the experts at Google. You can chat with an expert for your queries regarding any Google product and expect a response in two or three minutes. If you are using an array of Google products in your life, say a Chromebook or the latest Pixel device, and rely on Google Photos and Drive for file sharing, this feature is certainly a benefit.

  1. Google Store Rewards and Credits

If you own a Google One subscription, you are occasionally rewarded with credits that can be redeemed in the Play Store to purchase books, music, movies, apps, and games. Hence, if you find any exciting title on the Google Play Store, credits earned through such rewards can help you complete the purchase without any cost.

  1. Simplify scheduling in Google Calendar

Get more flexibility with enhanced appointment scheduling features, like multiple appointment types, automatic email reminders, calendar syncing, and more.

AutoCAD 2024 for MAC review

by Omi July 14, 2023
written by Omi

AutoCAD for Mac has come a long way, and nowadays, not much separates it from the Windows version. The lack of 3D rendering in the Mac version and native M1 chip support is disappointing but if you want the industry standard in 2D and 3D CAD design, AutoCAD for Mac still can’t be beat.

PROS:

Big performance improvements due to Autodesk Core Engine

Slicker, cleaner interface than the Windows version

Integrated with AutoCAD Web

Xref compare makes it easier to track changes stored in cloud solutions

Supports Trackpad gestures

A subscription includes access to excellent iOS version

It now works natively on Apple Silicon M1/M2 chips

CONS:

Some Windows features missing, such as cloud Drawing History and 3D Rendering

Complex for beginners to CAD

AutoCAD 2024 for Mac is the best CAD software for Mac for 3D design, and in this review, we take a closer look at what it can do.

AutoCAD 2024 has easily been one the most dominant Windows CAD applications on the market for years but it wasn’t until many years later that Autodesk finally released AutoCAD for Mac.

AutoCAD 2024 For Mac is still an industry leading CAD software for architects and designers and one of the most widely used CAD programs on the market.

The success of AutoCAD is partly because it’s so powerful but also because it’s relatively user friendly for such a complex 2D and 3D CAD program.

In the early days of AutoCAD 2024 For Mac, the macOS version wasn’t quite as good as the Windows edition, but nowadays it’s almost exactly the same on all platforms.

However, there are some limitations to the Mac version of this incredibly powerful CAD application as we found in our review of AutoCAD for Mac 2024.

Does AutoCAD work well on a Mac?
In terms of performance, AutoCAD for Mac 2024 runs better than any previous version of AutoCAD, especially on Apple Silicon M1 and M2 Macs.

AutoCAD 2024 was the first version of AutoCAD to work natively on Apple Silicon Macs, and it now harnesses the full power of Apple Silicon chip.

AutoCAD 2024 works almost twice as fast on Apple Silicon M1 and M2 chips than Intel Macs and is massive evolution for AutoCAD on macOS.

Previously, AutoCAD only worked on Apple Silicon by using Rosetta 2 which was much slower due to the extra translation layer involved.

Does AutoCAD Work On M1 & M2 Macs?
AutoCAD 2024 works natively on Apple Silicon M1 and M2 Macs meaning it works faster than any previous version of AutoCAD on a Mac.

Previously, AutoCAD 2023 required using Rosetta 2 in macOS, which “translates” Intel-only software to work with the M1 and M2 chip.

However, this works less efficiently than working natively on Apple Silicon ARM chips.

AutoCAD For Mac System Requirements
The exact system requirements for AutoCAD For Mac 2024 are below.

AutoCAD For Mac works with the latest versions of macOS including macOS Ventura, Monterey and Big Sur but not macOS Catalina or earlier.

System requirements for AutoCAD 2024 for Mac

AutoCAD For Mac vs AutoCAD For Windows

Initially, the early versions of AutoCAD weren’t as complete as the Windows version of AutoCAD.

AutoCAD 2024 For Mac has come a long way though and is now very similar to the Windows version.

However, there are still some interface differences and features missing.

The biggest difference between AutoCAD For Mac vs AutoCAD For Windows is the Mac version does not support 3D rendering.

3D rendering was inexplicably dropped from AutoCAD For Mac back in 2017 and it was not reintroduced into AutoCAD 2024 For Mac as some users hoped.

In terms of file formats, AutoCAD for Mac creates files in the same DWG format as AutoCAD for Windows and can do pretty much anything AutoCAD for Windows can do in both 2D and 3D.

The most notable difference though is the interface which has been customized for macOS including Dark Mode, Coverflow navigation, Multiview and Touch Bar support.

autoCAD 2024 for mac
AutoCAD 2024 for Mac

The Classic AutoCAD interface with toolbars is only available in the Windows version of AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT.

Drawing History, which traces the history of changes made in AutoCAD files saved in Box, DropBox and OneDrive, is also not available in the Mac version of AutoCAD.

AutoCAD 2024 for MAC review 8

Other things that are not available in the Mac version of AutoCAD include:

Extract object data to tables.
Share and use data from DGN files, Navisworks and Bing Maps.
Apply and monitor CAD standards.
Access to specialized toolsets for architecture, mechanical design, electrical design and more
If any of these missing features are deal breakers for you, your only other option is to run Windows on a Mac and install the Windows version of AutoCAD.

However, while this works well for 2D design, if you’re going to need AutoCAD for 3D design, it may not run very well as it requires a lot of processing power and ideally an eGPU too.

We’d also recommend using AutoCAD on an iMac rather than a MacBook Pro too.

The main reason for this is the display is much bigger which makes it easier for doing complex CAD designs.

And although AutoCAD For Mac 2024 now supports Trackpad gestures on MacBook Pros, it can be very tricky compared to using a mouse.

However, if you prefer the portability and power of the MacBook Pro, you can always extend it with an external display.

You can find out the best displays to use with Macs in our look at the best external monitors for Mac.

You can also add a 3DConnexion SpaceMouse which are specially designed for CAD work if you prefer this over using the Trackpad.

AutoCAD 2024 For Mac Features

AutoCAD is available in two editions – AutoCAD For Mac LT for 2D designs and AutoCAD For Mac which supports both 2D and 3D modelling.

Both are very similar in features but the LT lacks the 3D modelling and some of the more advanced tools of the full version of AutoCAD.

If you don’t need 3D modelling, AutoCAD LT is 75% cheaper than the full version of AutoCAD and excellent value for money for a 2D CAD tool on this level.

You can see how AutoCAD compares vs AutoCAD LT on this article

COMPARE THE FEATURES OF AUTOCAD VS AUTOCAD LT

The full version of AutoCAD for Mac supports 3D design, 3D printing and 2D drafting software with and includes XREF path mapping, select Express tools and PDF enhancements.

As mentioned earlier however, 3D rendering is not available in AutoCAD for Mac even though the latest M1 Macs are more than capable of it.

When you open AutoCAD For Mac 2024, the first thing that strikes you is how modern and clean the User Interface looks.

For those used to AutoCAD for Windows, it can take some getting used to but the new interface is far more suited to macOS.

AutoCAD 2024 for MAC review 9

AutoCAD For Mac 2022 was completely rewritten around the AutoCAD Core Engine (ACE) which is now in all versions of AutoCAD and part of the reason why AutoCAD for Mac is now very similar to AutoCAD on PC.

The development of AutoCAD is no longer limited to different platforms as anything that is updated and improved in the AutoCAD Core Engine is immediately pushed out to work on all platforms including macOS, Windows, mobile and web.

Some of the powerful features this has introduced include dynamic blocks to add flexibility and intelligence to block references, dynamic links to Excel documents and a layer state manager so you can save layer settings.

The latest version of AutoCAD 2024 also makes it easier to switch between Office and Home environments.

Many CAD designers use two monitors at work and one at home and the latest version allows you to control or hide the positioning of palettes depending on whether you’re working on one monitor or two.

Another big improvement has been the introduction of the Command Alias Editor into AutoCAD.

Many AutoCAD designers on Windows are used to using keyboard shortcuts and AutoCAD for Mac supports this in macOS too.

You can create hotkeys for your most used commands making your workflow quicker and easier than before.

AutoCAD 2024 for MAC review 11

Combined with the TouchBar support introduced in the previous version of AutoCAD for Mac, you can seriously speed-up your workflow without having to use the TouchPad or mouse all the time.

image 5
AutoCAD 2024 for MAC review 12

AutoCAD 2024 For Mac even supports Gestures on the trackpad for improved productivity so that you can use two finger swipes and thumb claw pinches as you work to speed things up.

You can also now convert 3D to 2D using AutoCAD 2024 on Mac. The flatten tool i`n AutoCAD for Mac retains original layers, linetypes, colors and object types.

AutoCAD 2024 for MAC review 13

AutoCAD 2024 For Mac Improvements

AutoCAD For Mac 2024 is definitely the fastest and most responsive version of AutoCAD yet.

The biggest improvement has been support for Apple Silicon M1 and M2 chips which make it up to twice as fast as previous versions of AutoCAD For Mac according to Autodesk.

This makes it forward compatible with all Apple Silicon chips including the even faster M3 chip expected to be released by Apple around Summer or Fall 2023.

The last iOS version of AutoCAD 2023 was already updated with the AutoCAD Core Engine so the iPad version of AutoCAD is now far more powerful and useful than previous versions although there are fewer improvements in AutoCAD for iOS 2024.

Now that AutoCAD Core Engine is fully compatible with both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs, Autodesk is now able to push updates to both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs far more easily.

AutoCAD For Mac 2024 increases AutoCAD integration with the Cloud.

One of the best Cloud features in AutoCAD For Mac 2024 is Design Automation.

This means that to a certain extent, AutoCAD can automatically design based even when you’re away from your Mac or workstation.

It also includes Autodesk Ray Tracer (ART) which is an incredibly fast, physically based render that works in Autodesk products including AutoCAD, 3DS Max, Inventor Professional and Revit.

Note that although there’s no version of Revit or Inventor for Mac, there are still ways to run Revit on a Mac and run Inventor on a Mac.

AutoCAD is also now better integrated with other cloud storage services such as Google Drive.

Among other things, Autodesk Ray Tracer renders lighting realistically including how sunlight and artificial sunlight reflects off materials.

The Purge command has been improved in AutoCAD For Mac and will now give you information on non-purgable items in Blocks, Layers, Text Styles and explain why they can’t be purged.

AutoCAD 2024 for MAC review 14

AutoCAD 2024 For Mac also has Xref Compare which is very useful for those CAD professionals remote working as it notifies you of any changes made on file versions stored in the Cloud such as Dropbox.

There have also been changes to the Blocks Palette which now allows you to drag a block out using the Scale or Rotation checkboxes.

AutoCAD For Mac 2024 is also available in Spanish and Italian for the first time.

image 8
AutoCAD 2024 for MAC review 15

Chinese is also available although this was introduced for the first time in AutoCAD 2023 to satisfy demand for AutoCAD in the rapidly growing CAD market in China.

Other improvements to AutoCAD 2024 For Mac include:

  • Autodesk Trace which simulates using tracing paper over drawings or blueprints to allow designers to copy and make suggested changes. CAD designers can add markup on Trace and see it in context so they can make any responses to it in the DWG file. Autodesk Trace works in real time so any changes made in the field will be seen instantly back in the office. Autodesk Trace is new to both the Windows and Mac desktop version of AutoCAD this year and works both on web and mobile.
image 9
AutoCAD 2024 for MAC review 16
  • AutoCAD for Mac 2024 features a count tool which automatically counts blocks or geometry to save time and reduce errors. You can count blocks in an entire blueprint or within a specific user-defined area.
  • You can now Share drawings, sketches and blueprints including XREFS and images with anyone from within AutoCAD for Mac including to those using the web app. You can also control the level of shared access such as “view-only” or grant editing privileges depending on who you are sending it to. This works much better that the old XTRANSMIT command in AutoCAD and is easier to use with far more control over sharing.
  • A new CUTBASE Command allows you to copy objects to the clipboard and define a specified base point if you want to remove them from a drawing or blueprint.
  • A new 3D Graphics Engine to leverage the GPU and CPU power in the new multi-core Macs which makes it faster to work with large blueprints. Effects, lines and curves now appear much clearer in AutoCAD For Mac and it enables enhanced selection and highlighting tools.
  • Markup Import and Markup Assist which already existed in the Windows version of AutoCAD have now been added to the Mac version too. Machine learning in AutoCAD helps you to view and insert drawing revisions with less manual revisions. Markups can be imported in PDF, PNG and JPG format and can overlay a photograph or scan of a blueprint. Markup Assist allows you to insert markups into drawings as geometry and can automatically detect texts like move, copy and delete.

AutoCAD 2024 for MAC review 17

In both AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT there have also been improvements in workflows to the placement of Smart Blocks which now automatically places blocks based on the positions of previous blocks placed.

image 11
AutoCAD 2024 for MAC review 18

These improvements enhance the additions made to AutoCAD 2022 which included:

  • Flexibility With Enhanced Block Libraries
  • Sort and Manage Blocks With Improvements
  • Export Layouts Directly to a new DWG File
  • Quickly Repeat Commands With Recent Input

AutoCAD Web vs AutoCAD For Mac

You can also access AutoCAD in any browser via AutoCAD Web although it’s not as functional as the desktop version of AutoCAD on a Mac or PC desktop.

However, the increased use of AutoCAD during the Coronavirus (COVID19) pandemic means that Autodesk has added more features to it in AutoCAD 2024.

You can create and edit AutoCAD files in AutoCAD web and it’s free to use, even if you’re not an AutoCAD subscriber.

This makes it very useful for sharing AutoCAD blueprints with non-AutoCAD users or subscribers.

AutoCAD For Mac 2024 Pricing

AutoCAD is only available on a subscription basis as there is no standalone version anymore.

You can’t buy standalone versions of any Autodesk products anymore as they are no longer available with ongoing perpetual licenses.

Pricing for AutoCAD 2024 for Mac and AutoCAD LT 2024 for Mac is based on either a subscription or “Flex” pay-as-you-go credits system.

A subscription starts at $245 per month for AutoCAD paid monthly or you can save 34% by paying $1,955 annually.

image 12
AutoCAD 2024 for MAC review 19

Note that Autodesk also offers “Flex” pricing for AutoCAD 2024 which is based on a “pay-as-you-go” pricing model. For example, $1,500 gets you 500 uses of AutoCAD which can be used over 71 days in any one year.

image 13
AutoCAD 2024 for MAC review 20

For most users, it’s much more economical to buy a subscription but if you just need to use AutoCAD For Mac on an occasional basis it might be worth it.

A subscription for AutoCAD LT starts at $60 per month but there’s no Flex pricing option for it.

image 14
AutoCAD 2024 for MAC review 21

Autodesk do often run special promotions on products throughout the year so if you time it right, you may be able to get a discount.

If you’re already an AutoCAD for Mac subscriber, you can download the latest version of AutoCAD 2024 from your Autodesk Account.

You can also try a free 30 day trial of AutoCAD 2024 For Mac.

AutoCAD Subscriptions Benefits

If you’re a regular user of AutoCAD then a subscription has always worked out much better value than the old option of Flex tokens which have been dropped now and were only designed for occasional use.

A subscription to both AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT also includes access to the AutoCAD web app and AutoCAD mobile app which work in a browser on any Mac.

One of the other advantages for companies is that an AutoCAD subscription allows them to administer licenses across multiple Macs and workstations.

A subscription also includes technical support and access to older versions of AutoCAD if needed for testing at customer sites.

It also means that you’re entitled to use new versions of AutoCAD For Mac when they’re released without having to pay for major upgrades.

AutoCAD vs AutoCAD LT
If you only need AutoCAD for 2D CAD design on your Mac, you’re better off getting AutoCAD LT For Mac which is much cheaper but only supports 2D CAD.

AutoCAD LT is 75% cheaper than the full version of AutoCAD and excellent value for money for a 2D CAD tool on this level.

The full version of AutoCAD however supports both 3D and 2D design so you are getting more for your money.

Can You Get AutoCAD 2024 For Mac For Free?
You can get AutoCAD For Mac for free with an educational license which entitles students and teachers to free one year educational access to AutoCAD.

If you’re not entitled to an educational license, you can also try a free trial of AutoCAD For Mac.

What is the difference between AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT?

There are two variants of AutoCAD available: AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT. Both run the same core features. However, AutoCAD offers both 2D and 3D drafting and automation capabilities while AutoCAD LT offers a comprehensive 2D drafting toolset.

A recent independent study took an in-depth look at AutoCAD vs AutoCAD LT and the productivity differences between the two. When performing a series of common design tasks, results showed that AutoCAD could allow a user to generate designs up to 7.1 times quicker compared with AutoCAD LT*.

The study also found a user could achieve time savings up to 86%* by using AutoCAD instead of AutoCAD LT to complete the series of tasks detailed in the graphic below. However, should there be a requirement simply for 2D drafting, some of the gains achieved with AutoCAD would be reduced.

See the Difference: AutoCAD vs AutoCAD LT

In this webinar, Shaun Bryant takes you step-by-step to learn the differences between AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT features, functionality, and productivity. Topics include:

  • Designing with geometrics and dimensional constraints
  • Plan and elevation views

What is cloud storage? Top 5 free cloud storage providers.

by Omi October 11, 2022
written by Omi

Even though cloud storage has been around for a while, there is still a lot of misunderstanding about what it is.

Learn about Cloud Storage

According to Google, there were nearly a quarter million global searches for “what is cloud storage” in the last year, a 21% increase from the same time the year before. Cloud storage continues to be one of the more perplexing tech terms out there.

At its most basic level, cloud storage is simply accessible disk space for saving or retrieving files that is typically located in a data center. Typically, a company known as a hyperscaler owns and manages that space (e.g., Google, Facebook, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Tencent, or Alibaba).

The fact that you are only renting the space—as you would in a condo or apartment—rather than owning it is crucial. In other words, you are renting a hard drive, SSD, tape, or another storage device in the cloud, or at least a portion of one. We will concentrate our attention in this article on user-friendly cloud storage systems for storing digital data.

Data as a Service: A New Paradigm

If you are of a certain age, you may recall purchasing audio CDs from the supermarket’s shelves. You would own the CD and be able to use it however you pleased. When Spotify arrived, everything changed, including the requirement that you pay a monthly fee for unlimited access to music’s entire history. No need to purchase CDs or transport your collection.

Like traditional storage, cloud storage typically charges based on usage (Backblaze is one notable exception). You can access as much data as you need, whenever you need it, and you won’t have to worry about things like theft, after-sales, power consumption, incidents, and subsequent data recovery, being able to access data from any location, etc. that come with owning a storage device.

What’s the difference between cloud computing and cloud storage?

You can use your own smartphone or computer as a benchmark. A computer can only transmit, store, or compute data; as a result, cloud storage is a subset of cloud computing that only occurs online. Any type of on-demand computer-related service that can be performed by a service provider, typically as a subscription, is referred to as “cloud computing” in general. Visit our more detailed article on cloud computing.

Nearly 17 years ago, Amazon became the first company to introduce cloud computing at scale with a cloud storage service. Simple Storage Service (S3) is an object-based storage service that differs from typical business or consumer cloud storage; it gave rise to about a dozen other storage-based services on Amazon Web Services. As of October 2022, AWS(opens in new tab) had expanded into a vast, sprawling ecosystem with 25 categories and more than 200 services.

Although it addresses a business audience, Amazon’s definition of cloud storage also applies to consumers. A cloud computing provider who manages and runs data storage as a service is used in this model to store data on the Internet. It eliminates the need to purchase and manage your own data storage infrastructure because it is delivered on demand with just-in-time capacity and costs. You gain flexibility, durability, and “anytime, anywhere” data access as a result.

Where is cloud storage data located? 

As was already mentioned, the majority of the time, your data is kept in a data center that is either operated by a data center operator or owned by a hyperscaler. In the cloud, data is kept in this location. In a manner similar to dedicated server hosting, colocation providers, or bare metal hosting, a service provider like iDrive will rent space and amenities (lights, electricity, cooling), and then deploy its own cloud storage services.

To reduce the chance that your data will be lost in the event of a catastrophic event, the best cloud storage providers will save multiple copies of your data across multiple data centers (e.g. Tsunami, Typhoon, earthquake, war or even fires). Even the biggest players have experienced that, and it could have a long-lasting negative effect on businesses.

Others take things a step further by storing your data across thousands of devices, creating a massive number of mirrors that make losing all of your data all but impossible. Two of the most well-known advocates of this radically different strategy for decentralized cloud storage are Cubbit and Storj. It embraces peer-to-peer technology, which is the same idea behind torrenting and BitTorrent.

How many companies offer cloud storage?

In addition to hosting other companies’ cloud storage services, hyperscalers also provide their cloud storage services (such as Google Drive, Amazon Drive, Apple iCloud, OneDrive, and Terabox). For instance, one of Amazon Web Services’ largest clients is Dropbox. We have a tutorial for setting up your own cloud storage provider because it is so simple.

As a result, there are numerous services that provide some cloud storage; you may see them referred to as online backup, cloud backup, online drives, file hosting, and other terms, but they are all essentially cloud storage with additional features added by unique apps or web consoles. As of October 2022, we’ve reviewed around 50 of them which is probably a quarter of the total number of providers in the market.

One popular cloud storage service is Google Drive.
One popular cloud storage service is Google Drive.

However, you won’t have to travel very far because there’s a good chance you already have access to a cloud storage service. For instance, free Google accounts come with 15GB of cloud storage space via the Google Drive app, while Facebook and Twitter offer free online storage when users can store photos and videos on their servers.

What are the benefits of cloud storage?

You are shielded from all types of data catastrophes by storing your data in the cloud. Having your files out of harm’s way will help you avoid a great deal of suffering, whether it be due to a failed hard drive, a lost laptop, or a ransomware attack.

Compared to many alternatives, sharing files in the cloud is safer and simpler. Your data is only adequately protected by wishful thinking when you send something by email or copy it to a USB key (“No one else has access to that email account, right?”). Cloud storage companies typically enable file encryption as soon as they leave your device and then give you a variety of secure sharing options.

You can access files directly from your storage using many services without downloading them first. For instance, you might be able to stream a large video from the cloud. You can frequently work on documents, perhaps with two people editing the same one at once.

Additionally, storing files in the cloud offers them genuine damage protection. You deleted something by mistake. It’s typically in the recycle bin; make a severe error in the most recent edits. A real lifesaver, you can frequently restore any previous version of the document from the past 30 days or more.

Should we trust cloud storage providers?

Since it’s crucial to know a cloud storage service can be trusted with your files, the majority of providers take great care to ensure their security. For instance, they’ll use a secure encrypted connection to upload and download files. Data centers with the highest levels of security make sure that no unauthorized individuals have access to their servers, and even if they did, cutting-edge encryption (opens in a new tab) would stop an attacker from viewing your data.

While price is important when selecting a cloud storage provider, trust comes first. What good is it to save a few dollars a month if you can’t be sure that your data is secure, unaltered, and completely private? One of the more established players in the cloud storage industry is probably the best secure cloud storage provider.

Top 5 free cloud drives. What Cloud Storage Providers Offer the Most Free Storage?

If you don’t already pay for cloud storage, you probably won’t be eager to subscribe without first testing it. Thanks to the abundance of free online storage services, you may exchange images and videos, listen to your favorite music, and keep data online. The top 5 of free cloud storage options available right now are listed below.

Key Takeaways:

  • pCloud, Sync.com and Icedrive are the best free cloud storage providers due to their combination of features, ease of use, security and privacy.
  • MEGA offers more storage than any other free cloud storage service with 20GB by default, which can be further expanded for a single year.
  • Google Drive, OneDrive and iCloud are all good free cloud storage providers if you’re already invested in their respective ecosystems and aren’t overly concerned with privacy.
  • IDrive, despite being an online backup service, offers enough hybrid features to qualify as one of the best free cloud storage providers.

Proton Drive is available to everyone with free 1GB storage

by Omi September 27, 2022
written by Omi 1 min read

Proton Drive offers end-to-end encryption and all the benefits of the Proton ecosystem.

Proton Drive has been in beta testing since 2020, during which time it has gathered close to 500,000 testers, with upload volume tripling in the most recent quarter. It is a component of Proton’s suite of applications, which also includes Proton Mail, Proton VPN, and Proton Calendar. In essence, the company seeks to create an open-source, privacy-focused substitute for key Google services.

Switzerland, home to Proton, is a country with some of the strictest privacy regulations in the world. With cryptographic signatures on all files and folders, Proton Drive and other Proton services encrypt all of the data you store with end-to-end encryption. Additionally, the business makes its services open source so that anyone can examine how effective its privacy protections are in practice.

With Proton Drive, your files are accessible 24/7 from any device
Your files are accessible 24/7 from any device

Proton has finally released Proton Drive following several months of beta testing.
It is a cloud storage service that uses end-to-end encryption and strives to give users high levels of security.
This launch occurs shortly after ProtonMail underwent a rebranding process and established itself as a privacy ecosystem.

Proton Drive wants to be your Google Drive alternative with privacy built-in

For cloud storage, Google Drive is likely the de facto industry standard used by many Android and Google account users. You might want to think about switching to a more privacy-conscious service, though, given that there have been reports of Google mistakenly locking out users from their accounts and the fact that the company makes most of its money from personalized ads. The open-source alternative Proton Drive, the newest service offered by the privacy firm Proton, best known for Proton VPN and Proton Mail, hopes to fill that gap.

Now that Proton Drive is fully operational, anyone can access it by logging into their Proton account; no additional opt-ins are necessary.

With Proton Drive, your files are accessible 24/7 from any device and secured with automatic backups. Your data remains safe even if you lose your phone or computer.

However, end-to-end encryption means that unlike other cloud storage solutions, you don’t have to share your most intimate files with a third party. Unlike Big Tech, Proton can’t access your files. Your data remains fully owned and controlled by you.

In case you’re interested, Proton Drive’s code is also entirely open-source, uses open standards, and has undergone an audit by outside security professionals.

Let’s take a look at some of the key features of Proton Drive.

Encryption

The encryption model used by Proton Drive is very similar to that of the Proton Calendar; to protect user files, it uses the OpenPGP standard and the ECC Curve25519 algorithm.

To stop any malicious actor from secretly uploading files to a user’s drive, cryptographic uploader verification is in place.

Simple terms, end-to-end encryption protects your files so that not even Proton staff members can access them.

Privacy

Because of its Swiss location, Proton is able to take advantage of the country’s stringent data protection regulations by offering Proton Drive, a product that puts privacy first.

This is expected. Therefore, you might want to switch from other services like OneDrive/Google Drive to Proton Drive if you prefer Swiss-based services for stronger privacy protection.

File Sharing

You can share your files with others in a very secure manner using Proton Drive.

All shared files are protected with end-to-end encryption, ensuring that only the sender and the designated recipient have access to the file.

To further strengthen the security of their shared files, users can choose to set a password and an expiration date.

Organize and personalize your encrypted drive to make it your own in Proton Drive

Proton Drive offers 1GB with free version

With 1GB of total storage across Mail and Calendar, Proton Drive and the rest of the Proton suite are free to use in their most basic form.
Depending on your needs, there are different tiers that range from the $4/month Drive Plus version with 200GB of storage to the $10 Proton Unlimited plan with 500GB of storage and more goodies for the other Proton apps.
Both of these plans are paid for annually, but if you’d rather, you can choose a monthly subscription for $5 or $12, respectively.

WHAT’S SPECIAL IN GOOGLE SHARED DRIVE?

Unlimited Storage with lifetime license

This is expand drive in your Google Drive with unlimited & lifetime storage (in case you do not violate Google policy)

Maximum items in a shared drive

A shared drive can contain a maximum of 400,000 items, including files, folders, and shortcuts.

We recommend that you keep shared drives well below the strict limit. Users of shared drives with too many files might have difficulty organizing and finding items or ignore much of the content.

Maximum daily uploads

Individual users can only upload 750 GB each day between My Drive and all shared drives. Users who reach the 750-GB limit or upload a file larger than 750 GB cannot upload additional files that day. Uploads that are in progress will complete. The maximum individual file size that you can upload or synchronize is 5 TB.

File sharing limits

A given file within a shared drive can be directly shared with a maximum of 100 groups.

Folder limits

A folder in a shared drive can support up to 20 levels of nested folders.

Canva launches a visual worksuite in addition to its graphic design service.

by Omi September 25, 2022
written by Omi

More and more, Canva is proving that it is more than just an easy-to-use graphic design tool. Canva Docs, Canva Websites, Canva Whiteboards, and Data Visualization, which results from the company’s acquisition of Flourish, are the new products the Australian company revealed at its Canva Create event.

Canva will also increase the number of print products it offers and introduce its background-erasing technology to videos. A remote control feature for Canva Presentations will be available when it launches in 2021. This feature enables presenters to connect other devices (like a phone) and use them as a virtual clicker.

Cliff Obrecht, co-founder and COO of Canva, stated in an interview with TechCrunch that “We’ve been working on the new era of Canva for the last two years, essentially.” “Canva has always been very much like a personal product with significant workplace adoption. However, we haven’t actually introduced this worksuite for businesses yet.

85% of Fortune 500 companies, including FedEx, L’Oréal, and Salesforce, use Canva’s design tools, claims the company. Canva for Teams, introduced last year, has over 4.4 million paying users, but like all of Canva’s products, its worksuite will have a freemium business model. The worksuite will have collaboration tools that enable team members to work on documents in real time, just like its Teams product.

Any product from the worksuite will inevitably be compared to Microsoft Office or the Google suite. Obrecht claims that Canva is not attempting to compete with these enormous corporations. Canva, in contrast, is seen by him as a visual-first complement to these tools.

Obrecht told TechCrunch, “We’re not trying to compete head-to-head with Google Docs. “Our products are naturally visual, so we approach the question of what a visual document looks like with a very visual lens. How can you make that text-only, uninteresting document interesting?

The worksuite products from Canva are compatible with one another, so if you create a presentation, you can also convert it into a document or website.

Canva also intends to make its API available in beta, making it simpler for developers to integrate with the worksuite. Additionally, Canva is introducing a creator program where carefully selected designers can charge Canva users for templates, images, and designs. The revenue split between Canva and its creators, according to Obrecht, varies depending on the complexity of the product. For instance, an extremely technical video template might pay a creator more than a stock photo.

Canva raised $200 million last year, valued at $40 billion. Obrecht believes that Canva is well-positioned to advance at a time when venture capital is becoming more difficult to find and valuations are declining.

We’re in a really fortunate position because we’re a profitable business and, in contrast to many of our competitors, we also have a sizable cash balance, according to Obrecht. He revealed to TechCrunch that Canva has about $700 million in the bank and is actively recruiting. The company currently has 227 open positions listed on its website.

Canva’s profitability, according to Obrecht, can be attributed to the Australian tech ecosystem, which is very different from Silicon Valley, where venture capital can (or once could) flow freely.

The most remote city in the world is Perth, Western Australia, where Obrecht and his family were raised. “We were ignorant of venture capital. When we went to the U.S., everyone said, “Oh, you have a startup! “We had what we thought was a small business.

As a result, Canva began with business loans and worked hard to become profitable right away.

Obrecht explained that after securing funding, “we built this really sustainable, profitable engine that was frugal, and then like…we haven’t spent the capital because we have this frugal business that actually makes money.” That really gave us a chance to succeed.

Forbes: “Unlike various other music-learning apps, Skoove’s virtual guide takes the learner through each lesson, and provides real-time feedback that listens to the player as they practice.”

The Guardian: “Eventually, notes, keys and names fall into place – I even play four suspiciously simple bars of Bach by sight! With both hands! Success!”

middermusic.com: “After checking out the curriculum, interface, features, and prices, I believe it’s one of the best online methods of learning to play the piano, especially for beginners. (…) New piano students will learn a lot from Skoove. It covers the very basics, even including posture and single-hand playing, and goes all the way to learning different genres like classical, pop, and blues. It also goes the extra mile for teaching theory and musical production.”

digitaldjtips.com: “Skoove is a good introduction to playing the piano if you want to learn it on your own, and especially if you’re attuned to that style of learning. If you’ve got discipline, you can breeze through a few lessons daily over the course of a month or two and, coupled with practising on your own, you’d have a strong foundation for piano playing that you can build on as you venture into production.“
