Posted by jpluimers on 2018/05/11
If you use Outlook to check and manage your email, you can easily use it to check your Gmail account as well. You can set up your Gmail account to allow you to synchronize email across multiple machines using email clients instead of a browser.

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/04/27
Unlike for instance DropBox, Google Backup & Sync does not allow you do move the Google Drive location in a one-step way. You have to go through below ridiculous steps to move it around yourself.

Where am I?
Posted by jpluimers on 2018/04/03
Google is smart; you can ask it https://www.google.com/search?q=what%27s+my+location
