Google announced earlier this year that the Google Drive app for Windows devices will be depreciated and eventually will stop working sometime next spring. However, there are two apps taking its place.

Google Back Up and Sync

This app is already available and is my preferred method of syncing Google Drive with my PC. New features include:
  • Syncing all or some Google Drive content to your PC
  • Now you can sync files not stored in the Google Drive Folder such as:
    • Documents
    • Pictures
    • Downloads
    • Desktop...
Remember the days when your local I.T. department said "Never save anything to your desktop"? Well with Backup and Sync, you can save files to your desktop and it will automatically be backed up in your Google Drive. Since G-Suite for Education offers unlimited storage, you can backup your home PC as well.

What will technology look like in 2017?

By
Welcome to 2017! What will 2017 bring, in terms technology? There are many predictions being made about what will happen this year. Here are some of the common predictions for technology of 2017. Virtual Reality will not be as popular as Augmented Reality Trump will have an impact, but what does this mean? 2-in-1 Computers will be on the rise Hackers and Cyber attacks will improve More Smart Devices will be sold (Smart Homes, Cars, Watches, and other devices)  Augmented Reality The common theme of what 2017 will offer, seems to be more of what 2016 offered. Augmented reality was shifted to the forefront of American culture last year as Pokemon Go rose and fell in a short time span. Virtual reality did not get off to the start expected of the "next big thing," in terms of product sales. This has caused some to take pause and re-evaluate virtual reality's future.
