Google Drive Backup

The best practice to secure your Google Drive Docs syncronized and backup is to have the Google Drive App install in one of your computers. 

How to have Google Drive on your computer?

1. Go to Google Drive download
2. Install the application on your computer.
3. On your computer, you'll see a folder called "Google Drive." located in Win10 in the "Quick Access" section (Window Explorer)
4. Now you have access to all the material you previously saved in your Google Drive. You can do:
1. Copy all those files in a safe location as a backup
2. Drag files or folders into that folder. They will upload to Drive and you will see them on drive.google.com. In other words, they will be in the cloud. The program will synchronize whatever you add to the folder as well as remove whatever you remove from it. So use this folder wisely.

Other ways to do more automatic however less out of you control is to use the Google Takeout app. This is a Google service created to allow users to back up any of their Google Service.

Google has many tutorials in this subject just search: Google Drive Backup, however, I think this is good enough.

Looking affordable Cloud Storage

There are many companies offering their Cloud solution however you must consider not just the price but also the reliability and support.

BE AWARE: Google gives you 15GB of free space in Google Drive, which seems like a pretty good deal compared to Dropbox's 2GB and Box's 10GB. But there's a catch -- that 15GB limit includes not only your Google Drive but also your Gmail account (messages and attachments) and Google Photos

Mind Vector - how to bring your ideas from your mind to your eyes

There are many mind mapping software in the market however is a nightmare to pick one because on most of them you cannot measure how good they are until you pay the price and suffer the consequences.

Basic things that your should consider before buy it.

• Flexibility to move nodes (selecting tool)
• Ability to have horizontal and vertical preference at the same time
• Capacity to add images or notes
• Be able to work from your equipment resources because cloud depend on you network connection, your computer resources. Sometimes this create slow processes.
• A good vendor should have a trial version

Mind Vendor offers a basic plan of 3 mind maps completely free. Honestly it is not the best but for small project it can do the job free. If you want unlimited mind maps then it is $9.99 almost nothing.

I found mind mapping a great too for me because I am super visual.
