One of the biggest nightmares for people who work digitally is that your drive fails and ALL of your files are gone. That’s why I established a system, that automatically saves certain folder every set time interval on an external hard drive. The chance that both fail at the exact same time is close to zero, so this makes me feel a lot safer. I personally use “Cobian Backup”, but there are a lot of other free apps that can do the same.

ADHD issue # 43:

File storage!

There's a lot of software I'll never learn how to use. For better or worse, I'm planning this out on paper. Finding something basic to make this crude diagram was tough enough... And all I need is really a flowchart so I can move folders to the right places with only intentional duplication being backups in a separate location, like backup stuff from my PC to the Xt HD *and* the "Big Crappy SD card." Why? Because one is enough, but I'll feel better with one extra, even if it's only 75% reliable. LOL, There's only so many memory devices I want to buy or add to this mess (like even if were free for some reason).

So there's all my main devices. I have not used the external hard drive (Xt HD) yet. I have not put the SD card into the A51 yet.

My google storage is nearly full, and making a whole extra google account is a no frickin' way for me. I need to straight up deal with my file storage and get it all functional, just moderately at least.

LOL, IDKWhyTF google storage is so big on there. It's like Greenland on a Mercator projection. It's the smallest file storage, 15GB, FFS. Anyhow, motherfucker is full, maybe that's why I did that.

So, more shit needs to go onto SD cards. Lots of shit needs to go onto the extra hard drive.

Ok, open query still: Could I put files into the Xt DH from multiple places? Does that require a partition? Because the files would be from one PC and at least one phone.

Ok, well, there we have it. This is like what, 85% solved?

I don't even have all the arrows on there, for chris'sakes. Google to Xt HD.

I guess one solution to the partition question is that everything (more or less) from the phones and google could go to the PC and then to the Xt DH. At some point in the process, I hope it'll be easy to cut down on some of the duplicates, esp. large video files that aren't super high value to begin with.

Okay, now THAT'S the end of it.

I could try to put in a couple hours here and there, or fixate for five hours all at once. In either case, I better keep fastidious notes to make sure I don't accidentally delete a few dozen GB while accidentally failing to back it up.

How to Back Up and Export My Chrome Bookmarks On Android

When we discover new good sites, we bookmark them in our Chrome browsers. So that the next time we want to revisit those sites we can track them. Bookmark is one of the Google Chrome features allowing users to mark opened windows for easy access - where it saves the link/URL of the webpage. This Chrome feature is very essential for users - making their browsing more convenient.

But what if you accidentally deleted the Chrome bookmarks on your Android phone? Is recovery possible? What if you switch Android phones? How to back up the Chrome bookmarks? Well, there are methods to back up and export Chrome bookmarks on Android. And if you want to learn more about bookmark backup and export, stay on this platform and we will discuss them here. 

But before we discuss the methods, let’s cite some scenarios where we can apply the appropriate method and to know why we need to export and back up Chrome bookmarks.

Case 1: Transfer bookmarks from One Android to Another Android - Some users are using Chrome on multiple gadgets and they are having trouble with their Chrome bookmarks - they can only access the marked links/URLs on the device where they saved them. They find that their bookmarks do not transfer from one device to the other.  So, if that’s the case, they need a method that can open the same browser on multiple gadgets. 

Case 2: Export Google Bookmarks Using the same Google Account - Most Chrome users are using multiple gadgets to open their browsers with the same Google account to access their bookmarks. You may wonder how they manage to do that. Well, let’s find out the solution.

Case 1 Solution: Phone Transfer App - This is a reliable tool for transferring any type of file from one Android to another Android including the Chrome bookmark. To open the same browser on multiple gadgets, all you have to do is to transfer the bookmark file folder using this third-party app.

Case 2 Solution: Google Chrome Account to Sync Bookmarks - By using a Google Chrome account, you can sync the Chrome bookmarks to your account. Then after that, you can back up and restore the synced files including the Chrome bookmarks from your Google account to multiple gadgets…..See more

saw some writing advice today that said "please please pleaseeee use Google Docs, it's so good and sooo convenient" and while that is true, google docs is convenient, for the love of all that is holy MAKE A LOCALLY SAVED COPY OF YOUR BOOK/MANUSCRIPT/FANFICTION. save it as a pdf, word document, whatever, but SAVE IT. twice or even three times, just to be sure. never ever everrr trust in cloud services. especially if it's google holy shit

PSA from a dumb shit idiot

the in-game UI/settings backup does not save your account-wide macros. it only saves macros per character. if you use shared macros for complex UI operations like a full suite of pop-out hotbars, and you are depending on this feature to transfer these macros, you will have to redo them. backup your .cfg files and character-specific .dat files located in Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn and put them somewhere that even you can't possibly lose them. the game tells you this, but if you're like me and you forget all basic forms of literacy when text is too boring, you will never see this information

penumbra and glamourer backups are located in AppData\Roaming\XIVLauncher\backups by default. these are useful to upload to perhaps a cloud drive. maybe even a discord server. you could email them to yourself. you could put them on an external drive of some kind. in case you do not want to remake 69 outfits from scratch and recategorize all your mods

those fancy marty mcfly reshade shaders you paid for to Support The Creator? they clean the patreon permissions out every couple of months and you won't be able to download the thing you paid access to get. "i can download them later" LMAO clowned on. put them somewhere safe, brain genius
