http://www.Findo.com is your smart search assistant – across email, files and personal cloud. Our data

storage has now permeated across multiple media. And very often, we know the name of the file, but do not remember where we had stored it – be it on GMail, Dropbox, Evernote or Google Drive. Sometimes, we may not even remember the name of the file, just a vague description.

Findo runs through all your storage and locates the desired files in a jiffy. You can search everywhere from one place – save time and frustrating moments when your boss is in urgent need of that contract or presentation. When you can’t remember the name of the person or file, Findo uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) to build a knowledge graph of your contacts, places, events, files, invoices, etc. and understands what you are looking for. The more you use it, the more accurate it gets! And the entire operation is quick and  secure.

Bought a new phone – awesome! But how does one restore data from the old phone onto the new one?

If you’re using the Google Now Launcher, your home screen background, icon and widget layout as well as folder structure is now saved to the cloud, allowing you to restore your settings to a new handset and retain your home screen layout. Besides, all your apps, widgets and their settings are also saved. Just go to Settings – Backup & Reset – Backup My Data – turn it on! Then go back to Backup & Reset and confirm that your current Google Account is associated with the backup account. The last step is to enable Automatic Restore to ON. That’s it.

Now, when you move to a new phone and connect with your same Google Account for the first time, go to the Backup & Restore section and hit Restore. And you can get going instantly!

Remember to enable your Backup today!

If you are looking for video calling over the Internet, across multiple platforms, Google Duo is the latest for you! Extremely simple with minimalist options and interface, it is a refreshing addition to the calling experience.

For starters, both you and the called party need the app to be installed. The app is available on both Android and Apple platforms, so no worries on that count.  Once you identify and call a contact from your phone directory, the call receiver will see a preview of your video, even before she picks up the call – this is called the Knock Knock feature. This is akin to someone knocking at your door and you look through the peephole and check who is there, before opening the door! You have the option to disable this feature though.

The rest is simple – as soon as the called party accepts the call, you get the video call going. You just have 2 buttons on the screen – one to mute your mic and the other to swap your camera – that’s it! Your last few called contacts will appear on your calling screen for ease of redialling.

Try out Duo and update me with your comments and experience! Have a smooth one!!
