3 Unconventional Tips

Which are pretty useful. 

Use your email account to store files

A quick way of storing files online without having to sign up with any service or without having to pay anywhere (or even creating free accounts) is to simply use your email account to store files.

Ever-expanding (and basically) free email services like Google Mail, Yahoo and MSN offer a great amount of storage space that personal users can use to their advantage. Most personal users will hardly be using 10-15% of the space offered for their emails.

Just simply compose a new message, add the file as an attachment and save the email in your drafts. Access your stored files from the Drafts folder, from anywhere.

Left-click the USB drive to eject it, instead of right-clicking

Instead of right-clicking to eject your USB drive from your computer, you can left-click to instantly remove the drive. Left-clicking doesn’t open up a new window for USB removal, which means you can eject your USB in one click.

Let’s observe with two screenshots:

Just remember the drive before ejecting, because there may be secondary devices also attached to your computer that you may wrongly eject, which is why right-clicking is actually more advisable.

Online Virus Scanning 

Everyone prefers a virus scanner that is stored as an application in your computer. Well, you can also try online virus scanning. Services like Kaspersky and BitDefender offer free online virus scans that can help you check your computer’s health. There are both free and paid services available to do online virus scanning.
