Digital Decluttering
AS FEATURED IN THE WALL STREET JOURNAL
COMPUTER & DIGITAL DECLUTTERING
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. But unlike our homes which only have a few rooms, computers and phones can have hundreds of disordered folders and random locations to which important (and unimportant) items have been saved.
WHAT WE DO
Combine files and folders spread across multiple computers and hard drives into a single, organized, and decluttered system.
Archive and delete unused, duplicate, and unneeded files and clutter
Combine and deduplicate music libraries
Organize photos and ensure that they are backed up in the cloud
Enable backups, including cloud solutions
Ensure safe password storage
Upgrade drivers and fix application problems
Recommend new purchases
Review your credit card, Apple, and Google Play accounts to cancel any outdated subscriptions.
