Space Case

5/8/2017

0 Comments

 
You've heard that the new MacBook Air will have less storage (250 vs 500). That might make you a little nervous....

Checking Available Space

1. Click on the Apple
2. Select "about this mac"

3. Select "storage"
4. Subtract the amount free from the total

Let's say 240 is free (in the ____). Then 500 - 240 = 260
The new computers will have 250 GB available.
In this example, the user is 10 GB over the new storage capacity.

Free Up Space

What is taking up the most space? 
Look again at the storage example. In the example, there are two large color blocks (usage areas), "other" and "photos". 
Photos, Movies and Audio take a lot of your storage! 
1. Move personal photos, movies and audio onto a personal storage device.
2. Move school photos, movies and audio into Google Drive or another storage option (YouTube, Teacher Page on website, etc)

And make sure to take out the trash -- empty your trash :)
Just by emptying my trash, I cleared out 2 MB of "other" storage".

Utilize Google Drive

Move your files to Google Drive! It really is as simple as "drag and drop". In the example below, I created a folder to add my files to (you do not have to do this - I did it for organization). 
Picture
Once the files are dropped in, you have them saved onto your Google Drive and they are accessible off most any device. You can remove the files from your computer and they will remain in Drive. 

If you have a personal Drive account, you could move those personal photos, video, etc. onto that! Drive is great for keeping photos and videos!! Uploading videos to YouTube is also a good option. I keep my personal videos as "unlisted" or "private" - so I control who sees what!

Let me (Carol) know if you need help with freeing up space!
