Introduction of Amazon Drive to Prime Subscription

 With the introduction of hi-tech mobiles and affordable internet services across globe, the online storage of files and easier access to old photos through cloud have become seamless. There are wide range of online cloud platform service providers and has often been dominated by Google, Microsoft, and OneDrive. I understand there are other cloud platform with affordable prices and storage plans, most of those are unreliable for long term and files protection in network breach is scarier. However, in this article I wanted to detail, why Amazon should launch their online cloud platform to enable its prime users to share files with ease. Here are my reasons why users would prefer Amazon drive over other competitors.  

• Lucrative bundled services: Amazon Prime has always been preferred subscription services for most users across globe and I prefer to select the prime subscription for the following reasons. 
• Shopping and free delivery: With Prime subscription can enjoy first access to shopping deals, order products at much discounted prices and Prime supported products delivery at FREE of cost. 
• Music Services: Most prime users were unaware about the availability of music subscription at FREE of cost and I prefer using the services frequently to enjoy ad-free music. 
• Prime video: With new movies and series launching every month, it has now become a necessity to have prime subscription to enjoy your favorite entertainment with Family. 
• Affordability: Amazon's prime subscription have always been the most affordable bundle services available right now and with introduction of Amazon Drive, it would be the must-have subscription for most users across globe.  

With above listed features, I hope one day Amazon would launch their own online cloud storage platform and enable its prime users to share files online. Amazon Drive would then be driving force for most users to select its subscription services and stay with the services forever.

Problems while transferring Google Photos to OneDrive

As detailed in my earlier articles, I have completed on moving to OneDrive as my preferred online cloud storage platform and decided to move my older photos from Google to OneDrive. However, I was unaware about the complications and issues that would arise out of it. This article would help users to decide on how to move their photos from Google Photos to OneDrive. I have decided to use Google Photos takeout as a choice to move photos from Google to OneDrive. Here are my issues out of it: 

• Photo’s transfer does not happen at once: Once you check Google Photos transfer in the list of items that you want to takeout from Google, the transfer will not happen at once and will not long time from 1-2 days depending upon the size of phots to be transferred. 
• Transferred phots will not be accessible on OneDrive: Post confirmation mail from Google that the photos have been transferred to OneDrive, the most irritating part that I found out after the long wait for the photos was, all photos are transferred to OneDrive as .rar/.zip file and cannot be viewed in any of the synced OneDrive devices. Post analysis on web, I later figured out that OneDrive does not support .zip/.rar files and requires users to download large file to extract in their respective computer, which is a huge bummer. 

Hope Microsoft brings inherent support to extract the files from .rar/.zip files and if not, at least to view files shared in .rar files. To read more such articles, please feel free to check out the "G R Team Sites"

Must have features to be included in upcoming iPadOS

I have been advising my kids to use iPad for their online classes and for other activities like kids' games, videos etc. However, while my kid was using iPad, I feel there should have been some control options available to control kids' activities. Following are few options that should have been available. 

• Kids only mode: With single user mode it is difficult to restrict kids from using other unwanted applications and to restrict them from using YouTube application. The kids wanted to use YouTube to watch kids' videos, but the videos are interrupted with unwanted advertisements and incompetence videos.   
• Brightness control: My kids learned how to increase brightness and with their smartness, they increase brightness as they wish. iPad does not have control to lock brightness level and option to set specific brightness level for kids. 
• Unrated advertisements in applications: It can insert ads in application to earn revenue for developers, however most of those times kids were shown unrated advertisements and with paid applications. There is no option to restrict paid application advertisements in applications and to block unrated advertisements across iPadOS. 

Hope Apple addresses above concerns with kids only user mode and options to control screen brightness. For more such analysis, please feel free to check out G R Team Sites.

Reasons why I Love AirPods Pro

I have been using AirPods Pro for a long time now and I have not highlighted the benefits of the product till now. So, this blog post is completely dedicated for detailing things I like and features of the product. Let us get started with the advantage of AirPods Pro. 

• Sound quality: Sound quality from AirPods Pro was on next level and immersive experience of the song with noise cancellation turned on was next level. 
• Seamless connection between iOS products: The moment I wear AirPods Pro, I can be sure that it connects automatically to one of my devices like iPhone or iPad or my MacBook Pro. Also, the automatic audio routing between iPhone and iPad works fine. 
• Noise cancellation: the standout feature of AirPods Pro was the noise cancelling with such small architecture and the device does it extremely well. 
• Wearing for long time: I use AirPods Pro for a long time during my office working hours and not a single moment I felt discomfort or irritation due to the product. 

I also wanted to detail about the normal things I do with my AirPods Pro and how this product integrates into my day-to day activities. However, I will detail more about AirPods Pro with its uniqueness and disadvantages associated with it another blog post published in G R Team Sites. 

Reasons for staying with Mac and Apple Ecosystem

For a long time, I was looking to get a revamp for my older MacBook Pro and invest for a new machine that can hold for a long time. I feel comfortable in working on Mac operating system and wanted to continue work on this operating system for its reliability and security. The reason I like using MacBook Pro are as follows:

• Simplicity: The settings and all other aspects of operating system are simple to use, understand and apply. I have even worked on windows operating system and the simplicity or ease of using applications could not be matched. 
• Security: The major reason I prefer using Mac operating system was the security and Safari browser. The operating was so secured that the operating system does not require any separate anti-virus software to protect user credentials and by using Safari browser, users can be sure that ram is intelligently optimized and does not require any action from end user. 
• Mac-iOS ecosystem: as I use iPhone 11 as my regular phone, the ease of synchronization between devices and using laptop for mobile activities like taking calls and the ability to send messages was top notch.
