Imagine being me, a person who has pledged allegiance to the iPhone but has a whirlwind romance with everything Google on the side. 😉
Yes, that would be yours truly! An interesting cocktail of tech reliance that has served me beautifully, especially in running a thriving business where Gmail and Google Drive have practically become my second home.
Yet, amidst this happily-ever-after, there lurked a looming fear—losing all the cherished contacts stored in my iPhone’s fortress, given that I didn’t even have my husband’s phone number stored in my memory (yes, very 21st century of me).
So, fresh out of my group coaching call, I found myself pondering – there had to be a way to blend the iPhone-ness and Google-ness that governs my digital life. I needed a hero, a bridge to merge these two worlds effortlessly.
That’s when the light bulb moment happened – Hello, Google One app!
Check it out here. Did I mention I use it for FREE? 😉
Let’s explore why this app is the superhero we all didn’t know we needed:
- Contact Safehouse: Whether you’re firmly in team iPhone, unshakably in team Google, or joyfully straddling the fence like yours truly, Google One offers all your contacts a safe and cozy haven, ready to be reached at a moment’s notice. I even exported mine to a .csv file and printed it out for safekeeping.
- Photo Chronicles and Google Drive Files: Along with being a vault for your contacts, the app welcomes with open arms the chronicles of your photo journeys and the vital files residing in your Google Drive. Though it’s a generous offer, I opt to save that precious space for my bustling array of business documents, letting my photo backups reside elsewhere.
- Free and Grandiose: Imagine having a vast 15GB of free storage space at your disposal on Gmail, a sanctuary where I have nurtured a bustling business, and yet have barely scratched the surface of this grand space, all without photo backups.
So, as we steer ourselves in this digital dance, let’s embrace the comfort and security that this FREE Google One app brings, marrying the best of both worlds without even denting our wallets. It’s about bidding farewell to data loss fears and stepping into a space brimming with possibilities, where every contact and every file has a home.
