What is cloud storage?

Cloud storage is an online service that allows you to store your data (documents, pictures, music, etc.) in an ex-situ online server. The cloud service provider has the full responsibility to keep your data safe. 

Some cloud storage services: Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, etc.


Storage is an important hardware for our digital devices: pc, laptop, smartphone, etc. Every one of these devices has a built-in storage. Now the question is: despite having a nice, working, built-in offline storage in your device, why do you need to use another online storage?

Here are 3 reasons why everyone should have a cloud storage account

  1. You don't know when an accident may happen. Suppose you are sitting beside a window in a public bus. You are talking with your best friend over a call. Suddenly, .................  your phone slipped off your fist. You started shouting to stop the bus. You got off the bus, then found your loving smartphone broken. "My files!!!", you screamed. You probably can't avoid the accident, but you can easily avoid the irreparable loss. Just create a free account in a cloud service like Google Drive or Dropbox, and keep your important files safe. These service providers will allow you to store at least 5 GB of data for totally free of cost. You can upgrade your plan later if you need more storage.
  2. Suppose you suddenly encountered a problem with your smartphone or laptop and it's not working. You need to get a job done right now, but you can't access the file you need as your device is not working. If the file is backed up in your cloud storage, you have an easy solution. The solution is: use another device, log into your cloud storage account with that, use the file, and get the work done. On the contrary, if you don't have cloud storage, you have to trouble a lot.
  3. People are not above mistakes. If you ever unintentionally and mistakenly delete an important file, you don't have to worry; your file is safe in your cloud storage.


Some cloud storage services with a brief description for each

Dropbox: Dropbox is a cloud storage service that lets you save files online and sync them to your devices. You can use Dropbox links to share files and folders with other people without sending large attachments.

Google Drive: One of the most versatile apps from Google is Drive. Whether you are at the office, home, or on a business trip, Google Drive allows you to access your files and folders from anywhere including your mobile phone. By accessing your Google account, you have full access to everything you need.

OneDrive: OneDrive for Business enables users to securely share information and control levels of security via direct access or links for editing or viewing files. This can also be done at the folder level within OneDrive to enable access to a set of files or folders within the drive.

4 Different techniques to transcribe an audio/video

By
Transcribing works are boring and monotonous. It feels even more boring if you are typing in a non-Latin complex language (Bangla, Hindi, etc.) because typing in those languages is really tough.  In this post, I am gonna talk about 4 different ways to transcribe an audio. The choice is yours: you may like to use the single most convenient technique for you, or you may use different techniques depending on different situations, or you can use different techniques on different times just to relieve annoyance. The techniques: Upload and transcribe manually: There are some transcribing websites which will let you transcribe easily and conveniently. For example, in oTranscribe or GoTranscriber , you have to first upload the audio or video file, then you can start typing on the web writer. The website will let you use different shortcuts to slow and fasten the playback speed, pause, insert timestamp, etc. Thus, you don't have to move your hand from your keyboard. A nice way to transcrib

5 Lessons from my first business

By
My first business project was very simple: I bought a pile of A4 pages, then sold at 10 pages/5 BDT rate. Although it was a very small business that lasted for a very small amount of time (roughly 1 month maybe), I learned a lot from that. I am making a list of which I've learned from the business. 1. Observe your surroundings: A great business opportunity might be just near you, but you are not aware of it. 2. Keep the product source stable , or you will lose the business. So, make sure the supply is continuous, not interrupted 3. Market and promote your product/service. Use nice banners, posters, and brochures. Attach the posters in the right places, and supply the brochures to the right people. 4. Don't reveal your special product's source to anybody else , or your monopolistic business will be hampered. 5. If the source is cut off or lost, remove your posters and banners. Because you will achieve a bad impression if you cannot supply your products to your customers w
