Yeah, my iPhone has a calculator. I had downloaded a better one, which sadly doesn't seem to have updated appropriately for the iPhone 6 and had to delete it, but there is a basic one on there?

Is anyone using Google Inbox? I just installed it today on a couple of accounts, and the email part is easy peasy (dismissing them is great), but the admin part stumps me on my phone's form factor.
Is anyone using Google Inbox?
I tried it for a couple of weeks, and ended up switching back. It was great for the kind of email that I want to skim and delete quickly (delivery notifications and whatnot), but way worse for the things I actually wanted to read and respond to. I never even really bothered with it on the phone, since fast skim and delete is already my default mode there.
I like the pin and reminder function, and now it's on my tablet on my fanfic account and my "official" account. I'm interested to see how a few weeks floats. But I do have to turn off the notification noises.
I feel like I'm not playing right because I don't have audio notifications for my email. Text me first!
Okay, I want to share photographs. A lot of them. Attaching in an email is not feasible. Is there a site or something that I can upload and link to, and the recipient can download them easily and without cost or loss of integrity? And without cost to me for uploading?
Do you have a dropbox account? Sharing whole folders of things is easy peasy with dropbox.
I'll create one, and hope like heck the recipient has one as well, or is willing to create one too.
Wait, hmmm, free trial needing CC deets. I'll wait until tomorrow, since I know a colleague is using it for work purposes.
Flickr offers 1 TB of free storage.
They actually don't need one - you can share a link that they can access and they can download individual files or the whole folder as a zip file - and Dropbox is free up to 2 GB. I just signed up with a test account to make sure, and as long as you choose the Free plan they don't ask for anything. By default it will install their program (which gives you a folder on your computer you can easily add things to to sync) but you can just not install it and upload manually through the website if you prefer.
Dropbox is definitely the easiest to use file backup and storage utility out there, though significantly more expensive per GB than its competitors. Worth having an account for little things though.
Dropbox has proved very handy to me, Flickr if I don't mind random people favouriting my father in the seventies.
Which I don't! I've even had Ellis Island records with family members favourited by people I don't know.
