mail2vks··on My Cloud Storage Crisis
Read tha article and came here to say just this

I pay for Google One 100GB (Annual Plan - 62 GB used) and YouTube Premium (Monthly) to ensure there is peace of mind and fewer things to manage. I moved to Tutanota for email and DropBox for storage before this. Life became fairly complicated and when I started missing few emails in Tutanota, as they went to spam, I turned back. Tried one drive also and it actually made me cry.

I am a big privacy nut but in today's world there isn't a single provider with suite of apps so well connected and evolved, as Google has. I would like to pay for Google for next 5 years, if Google allows, to ensure that my email address continues to work even if something happens to me.

Life should be simple, Google Workspace aids in that.

* Always talk to your seniors/manager for advice when you are stuck

* Move away from the habit of instant gratification as you move up

Looks good. I am right now learning from http://www.thinkster.io/ and prefer that to angularjshub. It has a well laid out structure.
mail2vks··on Poll: How many Bitcoins do you own?
That would mean Dropbox reading all passwords. Use KeePassX or any such tool and store the data file in Dropbox instead
