Storing sensitive files in the cloud
can feel risky but with Microsoft
OneDrive’s newPersonalVault,
you can popyour most important
documents into anextra-secure
section ofyour cloud-storage space.
To access them,you’ll needto get
through anextra la yer of security such
as a PIN,FaceID, fingerprint orcode.
Microsoft suggests stor ing tax
records, credit reports, insu rance
documents, licences, property deeds,
budgets, legal papers and co pies of
pass ports in the vault. You can also
use the OneDrive app to immediately
secure freshly snapped photos and
scanned documents. Free usersare
limited to stor ing just th ree file s, so
you may have to prioritise whatyou
upload to the vault unless you pay
£5.99 a month for an unlimited
Premium subs cription to OneDrive.
In either case, the files can be
accessed across al l your de vices
and the vault will automatically lockhttp://www.letssettlethis.com
WithThe Jeremy Kyle Shownow a distant memory, we’re
down an option when it co mes to settling disp utes. So a
warm welcome, please, for Let’s Settle This, which lets you
describe your situ ation and detail the arguments for both
parties before th rowing it open for other users to vote on.
The idea is that, after enou gh responses have been
submitted, you’ll get a percentage result wh ich should, in an
ideal world, resolve the issu e. You can also vote on other
people’s dile mmas and even see if your decisio n fits in
with the majority view. In all cases, the arguments are
anonymous and they’r e often bizarre and surprising – for
example, “Do I have toinvite my fiancé’s bratty brother
to our
wedding?”.
It’s also
possible to
flag upany
inappropriate
situations
although so
far, thankfully,
it’s been
pretty clean.
