CLOUD STORAGE SERVICES ORGANIZING

Just as our homes get cluttered from time to time, over the years our computers and digital life accumulate files, contacts, emails, photos, video and music. That is especially true now that we often receive shared files in cloud storage services or use apps that store files in those cloud storage services (like Google Docs and Microsoft Office apps). Sometimes backups to cloud storage get out of control, too, resulting in lots of duplicate backup folders. We can bring order back to your life!

Our organizing goal is achieved first by making everything easily findable and logically organized. Start by discussing your specific situation and goals over Zoom or other screen sharing technology.
