CLOUD STORAGE SERVICES ORGANIZING

Just as our homes get cluttered over time, our computers and digital lives accumulate files, contacts, emails, photos, videos, and music over the years. 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 many duplicate backup folders. We will bring order back to your digital life!

WHAT WE DO

With cloud storage services, organizing your digital life can be even more challenging! Don’t feel bad. You’re not alone.

Our remote service is handled through Zoom or another screen-sharing platform, and we can do most of the work without needing you to work from the computer. Here’s how we work:

DIGITAL LIFE ORGANIZING METHOD

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

🖥💻For computers, after learning your needs, we:

• Begin work without needing you!

• Create a plan to break the work into 3-4 hour sessions.

  • Some computers only need one session; others may need 2-3 sessions.

• At the end of each session, we will have a list of questions to review.

• Typically, we would group the files into business and personal files.

  • For Business files, we organize them by division into Client files, Operations files, Marketing and Creative files, Vendor files, etc.

  • We organize personal files by financial, family, projects, home, etc.

• Secondary organization is based on your needs:

  • Merge and deduplicate photo, video, and music libraries, ensuring that no valuable media is lost

  • Organize desktop shortcuts and menus to be based on what you most use

• Technical optimization efforts can include:

  • Next, we will set backup systems, defragment/optimize hard drive space

  • Update any outdated drivers and legacy applications you no longer use

  • Help you get your passwords organized with the aid of tools like LastPass

• Training and walking you through the new, organized machine(s)!

📱For mobile devices, we:

• Learn how you use the device and the most frequently used apps

• Organize the apps by type, placing them in folders

• Ensure that the music and services you want on your phone are on them

• Train you on any apps you want to use, from health tracking to streaming music to Zoom
