Hi Ileane. I like the “send to G Docs” extension, very handy 🙂 BTW, I have
a question. How do I reduce the size of the address bar so I can see all of
my extensions? I noticed that your address bar is smaller and almost all
your extensions (icons) are visible… Thanks

Really good video Ileane. I can see I’m not utilizing Chrome as well as I
might.

Do you use Amazon? There’s 5Gb storage. (read privacy policy before use).
LOW COST: Amazon Glacier is an extremely low-cost storage service that provides secure and durable storage for data archiving and backup. In order to keep costs low, Amazon Glacier is optimized for data that is infrequently accessed and for which retrieval times of several hours are suitable.” “$ 0.01 per gigabyte per month.”
Use this for files that don’t need immediate interactive work. https://aws.amazon.com/glacier/
———–
For reasonable security and privacy, data should be encrypted** before sending, independent of any site involvement with that phase.
Use a solid ‘on-board’ utility for this, and practice a couple of times with some nondescript file to master the entire process so you know for certain you can get your files back.
That would be: file encrypt> upload>download> decrypt & verify.
Once proficient, go ahead with the more delicate file work.
**Ideally, a Linux OS, in an “air gapped” setting, would be preferable. (See; http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/sep/05/nsa-how-to-remain-secure-surveillance )

DropBox and Google Drive are NOT secure.
I would recommend you the solution I use for the last 4 years – Acronis True Image 2014. It’s very secure and not expensive. It provides not only secure storage and sharing but also disk imaging and Incremental backups. You may find more here – http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/trueimage/#cloud-storage
