Let me share some productivity software solutions with you:
Brave Browser
The Brave browser is based on the Chrome browser. Why use Brave? The browser blocks ads and website trackers. It also provides a way for users to earn cryptocurrency in the form of Basic Attention Tokens (BAT). The browser also allows users contribute BAT to websites and content creators. Yes, Canoosa Finance is able to accept BAT donations!
Dropbox
Dropbox is the company that got me started with cloud storage. Their Basic account is free and offers 2 GB & 3 synced devices. You can upgrade your account to the Plus (2 TB) or Professional (3 TB) of storage. Both the Plus and Professional accounts allow unlimited synced devices.
You can add more storage to your account by referring friends to Dropbox! With the Basic account, you earn 500 MB per referral, and it caps at 16 GB earned. The Professional account increases the referral bonus to 1 GB, with a max of 32 GB.
Evernote
Evernote is a great app for taking notes on your phone. It is Internet based, so you don’t have to worry about your notes getting trapped in a lost or dead phone! You can choose between Free and Premium accounts.
Google Drive
If you have a Google account (doesn’t everyone??) Google Drive is free cloud storage for you! 15 GB is free storage.
LibreOffice
LibreOffice is a free and open source office suite. It allows you to create word documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and more. Best of all is the price … FREE! It allows you to work with the formats of Microsoft Office, Word Perfect, and Open Office.
Mega
Mega offers the largest free cloud storage I have found – 25 GB! If you need more storage, they offer up to 16 TB of storage. Not only to they offer a good amount of cloud storage for free, it is also encrypted!
Microsoft 365
This used to be called Microsoft Office 365. If you get the Microsoft 365 Home edition, the license allows up to 6 users for the office suite and 1 TB of OneDrive cloud storage each. This is the best deal I have found for cloud storage & it includes an office suite!
Opera
Opera is my favorite mobile browser. It is a solid browser that runs on a wide range of operating systems. Speed Dial is what makes it my favorite on the phone. Also, check out the “Mouse Gestures” feature on a computer with a mouse (not a touch pad).
OneNote
OneNote is Microsoft’s note taking app. My wife and I created a family cookbook with the app and we have shared it with both our families. The app is free and highly recommended.
Trello
Trello uses boards, lists, and cards to assist you with your productivity. Try in out, you might like it. Trello is free for a basic user. You can upgrade to a business account if you need additional features.
Vivaldi
Vivaldi is an off-shoot from Opera. This browser is very customizable! If you would like to try a new browser, check this one out.
