What is Google Drive? 

What is Google Drive? 

In the spring of 2012, Google introduced Google Drive, a cloud-based storage system that allows you to keep your documents, photos, videos, and other files online. Whenever you place files on Google Drive, they are stored on Internet servers rather than on your computer's hard drive. You can then access those files from any computer with an Internet connection or even a mobile device, like a tablet or smartphone. Drive even allows you to share files with your family, friends, and coworkers.

Why use Google Drive? 

Google Drive is one of the most advanced cloud storage services available today, offering  gigabytes (15GB) of free storage space. If you've never used a cloud-based storage service like Google Drive before, take a moment to consider the advantages of keeping your files online. Because files can be accessed from any computer with an Internet connection, Google Drive eliminates the need to email or save a file to a USB drive. And because it allows you to share files, working with others becomes easier than ever. With Google Drive, you can: 

Create and edit documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and more.

Open your files from any computer with an Internet connection.

Invite others to collaborate on your documents.

Retrieve your files even if your computer is lost, stolen, or broken. Your documents will still be safe in the cloud.

Access, create, and edit documents on the go with the Google Drive apps for your smartphone or tablet.

Save and edit files that you've created using Chrome's web apps, such as SlideRocket or AutoCadWS, right in the Drive.

Upload, share, and view many other types of files. Although Google Drive isn't designed to edit every file type, it's actually able to display previews for various types of videos, images, and other document formats.

File attributes and NTFS permissions

Chapter 5 - File attributes and NTFS permissions   We’ve already mentioned both file attributes and NTFS permissions throughout this book. In this chapter we’ll take a closer look at file attributes, and discuss how to view and change attributes from the command line. We’ll also examine NTFS permissions, which are considerably more powerful than file attributes, and discuss how to view and alter them as well.   WHAT ARE FILE ATTRIBUTES?   “File attributes” are basically pieces of metadata that contain additional information about the file. In Windows, files generally have their names, their types (defined by the file’s extension), and their timestamps. (Certain kinds of files, such as MP3 music files, have additional kinds of metadata, such as the album and artist name.) With file attributes, however, there are four additional pieces of information that you can add to a file.  These four pieces of information are: -Archive,...

Methods used for the calculation of areas in Surveying

Methods used for the calculation of areas in Surveying: Simpson’s rule Trapezoidal rule Graphical rule Simpson’s Rule Statement It states that, sum of first and last ordinates has to be done. Add twice the sum of remaining odd ordinates and four times the sum of remaining even ordinates. Multiply to this total sum by 1/3 rd of the common distance between the ordinates which gives the required area. Where O 1 , O 2 , O 3 , …. O n are the lengths of the ordinates x = common distance n = number of divisions Note: This rule is applicable only if ordinates are odd, i.e. even number of divisions. If the number of ordinates are even, the area of last division maybe calculated separated and added to the result obtained by applying Simpson’s rule to two remaining ordinates. Even if first or last ordinate happens to be zero, they are not to be omitted from Simpson’s rule. The following offsets are taken from a chain line to an irregular boundary toward...

About creating partition

About creating partition To create partition is actually to partition hard drive. Only after you creating partition(s) on a disk, can you make use of the disk to save all kinds of data. All physical parameter of a disk are set when you create partition(s) on it, including MBR (Main Boot Record) and the destination for storing boot record backup. For other information later needed for the management of file system and other operating systems, it will be achieved by later advanced format. What are the advantages of creating partitions? Generally speaking, creating more than one partition enables you to have operating system separate from data, deploy multi-boot setups, and keep frequently used programs and data near each other. Therefore, you can manage your computer with ease. If there is only one partition (namely C drive) on disk: When recovering the system, the whole c disk (the system disk) will be formatted. If all data are saved in c disk, they will all be wiped a...
