I personally use Google workspace so I have craploads of cloud space if I need it. However, I also run Nextcloud on our home server so I (and anyone else I choose) can just upload to that and I can access the data locally.

Don't put off until tomorrow, what you can put off until the day after.

There is an exception to every rule, apart from this one.

I'm just trying to figure out what's taking up half of her google storage, from what I can see from checking it she's only got 500mb of files on there, which is far less than my email uses, and I'm at like, 1gb

I think they like to send those out regardless of how much space you've used.  I often get these threatening sounding emails in spam.  Once in a while it inspires me to clean out my email files.

If you haven't 8ullfrog, try emptying the trash. We're transitioning away from Google storage here where I work and a lot of people were surprised to find that the trash objects still count against their quota but isn't included in the "total used". So you look like you have space but actually don't.

Her tablet literally hung when I tried to go backwards in time.

I logged in on my desktop.

It really is all emails, mostly "daily updates"

The San Diego Patch alone had 3,400 emails in her inbox.

The latest string of warnings:
Your (fill in the blank: Netflix; Peacock TV; Hulu TV) membership has expired!  Extend your membership, just give us all of your banking details...

Your system has been infected with (26) viruses

Lowes has been trying to reach me to give me a gift card

Your account has been flagged for suspicious activity...

And on the bodily failures front:
"When your butt doesn't smell like butt" (Lume Deodorant.  But how would I even know?  It's anatomically awkward to smell one's own butt).

If you are in a hurry "One Day Fat Removal" from Bello Lipo

Blissy wants to know:  "Do you wake up tired, with dry skin and damaged hair?"  Wow.  I hope not.

In today's regular emails.  Two messages from various stores saying the same thing:

"BLACK FRIDAY STARTS NOW!!!"  But it's Sunday.  Give it a rest, eh?
