Microsoft 365 One Note Part4

You can see where we can change just the way that our page looks. For example, if you want to change the color of the page, you can do so here. The page style. For those of you who like having lines on the page, you can do that just with one click right there. I do not believe there is a way to make that the default option, unfortunately, so you do have to change it for each new page.   The next thing I want to mention is here. Password protection. This is going to sound a little weird, but you cannot password-protect a notebook. You can only password-protect a section. That’s just something to keep in mind. I also just have to very quickly throw out there — for those of you out there who are looking at this application because you want to store your passwords, I would very strongly discourage you.   I taught a while ago on one password, which is the application that I have very, very strongly recommended. It does take some time to set up, but it is worth it as far as our secu...

Microsoft 365 OneNote Part3

Of course you can copy and paste in this application, but another feature is that I think you should be fully aware if you are copying text from something like an email or webpage, something like that.   If you see here, next to the paste, here is this little arrow. This is where you can not only choose to paste something, but you can either choose to keep the same formatting as your document that you are working on, or you can keep it in the same place from where You copied it. Just because if you copy and paste a lot, you have different fonts that are all over the place.   This can be a real mess. It's just, I think, a very nice little trick to keep it a little cleaner. The other options we have are definitely all the common things that you will find in any type of Microsoft software, your font choices, font sizes. Here we have options to do a bullet list, but we have more than just bullets.   We can do things like checkboxes or diamonds, whatever you like there. Number...

Microsoft 365 One Note Part2

You can literally click anywhere and type. The first thing you probably want to do, however, is create a title for whatever document you are creating.   Then you can see here that it's automatically a date sit, which is a big feature, because what's unprecedented about it is if you ever need to see, "Hey, what were those notes that I took that date Was it?   Now, when it comes to entering any type of text in your document, you can click literally anywhere, and you can type here, or you can type there, if I "there" I can write It is much more effective when I nail. The other thing I want to mention here is that you too are not bound by the text. I want to throw a quick tip at this point - how was that? - On you, something that makes the experience of exactly one note so much better. He is the OneNote Clipper. Now, the easy way to achieve this for Mac users, PC users, I'm sure it's very similar.   I just don’t know what it is. Go up here to where it says On...

Microsoft 365 One Note Part1

Before we begin, I wanted to tell you a little about the piece of software that we are covering today. One of the things I love about Microsoft OneNote is there really is an application for everyone, whether you’re the kind of person who's maybe a stay-at-home parent or if you’re a busy business executive. There really is a use for everyone.   If you’re not familiar with the software, if I had to explain it in basically a sentence, what I would probably describe it as is a nonlinear form of Microsoft Word. With Word, you know what you’re getting.   It’s a document, and you go to the line. Typically, with most Word documents, it's just text. You don’t typically have other things in there, although you can. With Microsoft OneNote, it’s more nonlinear in the sense that you can draw anywhere. You can click here and put text. You can put text there.    You can organize your whatever it is you have to different notebooks. Whether you’re using it to catalog recipes or you’r...

Google Backup Drive File Stream

If you are using Google Drive and you want to synchronize the files between your computer and Google Drive, there are two different programs that Google offers to do it. There is Drive File Stream and Backup and Sync. We are going to look at both of them, we are Going to talk about the differences. right now I'm only running Backup and Sync, so if you look at my file structure on the left-hand side, you get a folder that says Google Drive and has the little Google Drive logo on it. And when you left-click on that, it will show you the contents of your Google Drive. If you look at the file path, it puts it under your name because that's where your files are in windows, and then Google Drive, and I have gone down one more folder, so let me go back.   These are the three main folders that I have in the root directory of my Google Drive. And you get Backup and Sync by, I'll go over to my browser on the right-hand side, and when you're logged into Google Drive on the web, if...

Starting with my OneDrive I now have one click access to all of my Microsoft 365 files on the web from within the OneDrive experience.    All the groups that I belong to are right there on the left navigation pane. Clicking on one of the group's takes me directly into the files and folders associated with that groups team site w...

Shared mailbox options for multiple employees in G Suite

About having multiple different email addresses, from multiple locations, sending email as the same alias, or if it looks like the same person. And, this is something that's pretty common in the IT industry, as an example of a business that wants to send and receive emails from a common email address, to their customers. So, that might be, support@surajb.com, for us our email addresses helpdesk@techcloudsuraj.com. But, we have 15 staff who send and receive from that email address.    Now, how do we get that setup? At the very basic level, you can achieve this within the G Suite. And, Google has a few different ways of conceptualizing how email happens. Now, in G Suite, each human has generally a bucket of email, and we call a mailbox a bucket of email, because that's one place that email can go. And, for some businesses they would like to have a shared bucket.   So, that might be info@, or support@, or all@, and you might want multiple people to access that bucket. Now, w...

Google Workspace vs. Free Google Apps

This comparison between the free Google Apps and that i currently have on the left, and the paid Google Apps which is called Google Workspace and it's on the right. You have probably used the free apps so we are going to go over to the right.   The Apps in which it's available in Google Workspace are largely the same for example i am in the admin account and i can control some things that are only relevant if you are using Google Workspace.   We will go ahead and open the admin console here and just a brief overview of some of the things that are here. In Free Google Apps you will get the 15 GB storage , while you will get 30 GB or beyond that in the Corporates mail solutions i.e Google workspace , but it will depends upon the plan which you choose                              You could spend all day going through all of them but, at a general level, you can control your users. You Can add and delete ...

Introducing the New Look of G Suite

G mail has a new look for the experience aiming to be a little bit more slack like they want to bring the workspace into one location This comes after much-needed upgrades to the Google meet experience, So Google want Gmail to be your home for work So to be clear before we start the individual accounts aren't changing but according to the verge Google have stated.   They're actively thinking about how to bring this to the free accounts So Google believed that you start your day with email and in reality that is probably the case in the majority of situations They also believe that hopping between chat Applications and email is the worst and I can imagine that too direct call out for applications like slack So in an attempt to fix this they're introducing a new ability called chat. This is essentially real-time chat and what you had before in hangouts So inside of the new Google Workspace we experienced you'll still get Google meet for calls inside of Google meet now You...
