Pick the Best Cloud Drive Service for You

Having access to your files on all your devices is more important and beneficial than it has ever been. Keeping your Mac, iPad and iPhone in sync gives you the power to have everything you need at your fingertips all the time. There are many affordable services available for cloud drives, but one size never fits all. In the upcoming macOS Catalina, iCloud Drive is getting some nice updates and Dropbox recently made some updates that have angered many users. Lets discuss these options for syncing our files.

Take Better Notes

Apple’s Notes app is already included on all of your devices and with iCloud, can be synced between them all. It’s one of the simplest note-taking apps, but there are many very powerful features that you may not be taking advantage of.

Does Notes not cut it? Want to go even further? There are many other apps that do even more or are better suited to special situations or configurations. Let’s discuss Apple Notes and some other alternatives to wrangle all the important information you want to keep track of.
