More Free Google Drive Storage – Act Quickly

If you use the cloud for storage, as I do to a certain extent (or even feel that you may need more online storage in the future), the more free space you have the better. Google is currently offering an increase of storage on Google Drive for simply checking your account security settings. By doing so you will go from 15gb to 17gb of free online storage. Sounds great to me and I have taken up the offer. It may provide you with needed extra space in the future for online storage of family history files.

More Photos

I have finally managed to get hold of a digital image copier, which I don’t think accurately captures what the device does. It doesn’t copy digital images, but copies slides and film (or scans them) to make digital images/photos.

I have quite a number of old slides that belonged to my grandfather, that I am now hoping to scan before they are forever ruined. Many have been damaged my moisture over the years – so I am not completely sure just how many I can save. I’m hoping to save at least some of them.

I now have a lot more storage room for my digital files (including photos, videos, etc) – in fact I have a whole terabyte of space. This means I can store something like 200 000 photos, or 250 000 MP3s, or 120 hours of HD video.

OUT OF STORAGE

 

It should only be a very short time now until all of my property is out of storage and back with me under the one roof – in my own apartment (rental). After more than two years I will soon have everything back out of storage and fully accessible again. This will mean many things, the least of which is not a renewed ability to get at all of my family history research, tools, etc. I’ve been waiting for this for so long.

So the countdown is now on and I should be able to access everything again within 5 to 6 weeks. So not that long to wait now. All of the projects that have been on hold can be back up and running again very soon.
