Clouds for a regular user

    And what did you transfer to the clouds from your everyday life?

    About a year ago, I thought about moving to the clouds of everything that surrounds me. I have been considering various options for a long time and the main platform I have chosen for myself is Google. I changed the phone to an androidophone and rushed.

    1) Email : I completely refused the bat bought and switched to google mail , set up redirects to the main mail on all mails and gave permission to the main mail to send letters from all my mailboxes. I’ll immediately draw attention to the security and the ability to bind Google Mail to a cell phone number, which will allow you to regain access to the box when you lose control or hack.

    2) Contacts : all transferred to google contacts, very convenient, automatic synchronization to the android phone, the impossibility of losing contacts when the phone is lost / broken.

    3) Money : for the most part I switched to a visa / master card, tied cards to webmoney and poison, conveniently, affordable, small percentages. And in general, in my life I prefer to pay with a card.

    4) Reading sites : in fact, earlier the day began with poking at a dozen other sites in speeddiale + continuous monitoring of sites during the day. Everything that can be transferred to rss subscriptions in google-reader , everything has become convenient, comfortable and allows you to save time on extra clicks and does not miss important things.

    5) Reminder-time managment : here I switched to miniplan.ru, there is planning for the day, reminders for mail / sms (free), the only thing missing is cyclic tasks like google calendar.

    6) Office documents : of course the Google docks saved , I use it to store important files through the update of them. Therefore, I do not use the same dropbox.

    7) Browser : I refused the opera because it slowed down and a lot of things didn’t work in it (the same as Google docs), she didn’t know how to synchronize her bookmarks, settings, passwords, and she didn’t have plugins (they implemented it all too late). My choice fell on chrome , it can synchronize everything that I need, the only minus is that plugins do not know how to synchronize their data for the most part.

    8) Passwords: I use a bunch of passpack.com and lastpass , there are plugins for all browsers, it works under the android phone.

    9) Music : oh Now all the music I listen to the Internet, especially I loved deceased prostopleer , even think to pay them, and even use gruvshark and vkontaktik .

    In general, these services allowed me to become significantly more mobile and not be tied to a particular computer.

    And what could you transfer to the clouds? What advise more? Is it easier for you to live on this?

    UPD2: I forgot to mention that I think somewhere to merge all my photos, I choose between Yandex photos and a picass, who uses what?

    UPD3 : I remembered that there was more music in the clouds, I added 9 points, Yandex-music was also mentioned (I went to try it), lastfm (in my opinion it is paid).
