  • Interested in the Pixel Fold, not interested in buying it from the Google Store. Any idea if or when it will be available at Best Buy?
    If you do end up having to buy from the Google Store, my advice is subscribe to Google One just for this month. It includes dedicated support that is a genuine help in my experience. Source: 11 months ago
  • Best storage option/service for family photos/videos?
    The storage that Google Photos uses comes from your Google One plan. You get 15 GB free with any Google account, but after that you'd need to purchase Google One storage. Google One is the name of Google's cloud storage (it's what Google Drive also draws from for its storage). Source: about 1 year ago
  • Haven't received an email from PlayStation in over 2 years
    Also check google storage here https://one.google.com/about. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Google Store Money Saving Tips
    Google One accounts offer the following cash back (You don’t get this on the free trial). Source: over 1 year ago
  • BREAKING NEWS: Twitter will not go public again in 5 years because it will be dead by that time
    Google offers personal cloud storage at 2TB for $99.99 a year, it doesn't seem unreasonable to be able find more storage at the same price elsewhere. I'm not about to go looking everywhere but IDrive has 5TB plan for $79.95, although they're primarily a backup service it seems. Cloud storage is cheap these days. Source: over 1 year ago

  • Change SharePoint Start Page for All
    When our users go to office.com, login and click the waffle for SharePoint, I want to change this landing page. Right now, it goes to https://ourdomain.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/sharepoint.aspx and once users are in SP, if they ever click the home button it will direct them to this page as well. I want to change this to a new site we created that makes browsing our sites and sharing information/events much... Source: 6 months ago
  • Has anyone seen same behavior with AAD laptops reaching out to internal DCs on ports 88, 389, and 445
    Authentication happens through a 3rd party so when we try to login to office.com with our company accounts it redirect us to this 3rd party company that handles our logins. Source: 6 months ago
  • Where is the Copilot in Excel?
    I've looked in office.com (using Chrome) and Excel 365 for Mac (Version 16.79). Nothing in the top-right corner except "Analyze Data". And when I try to search for in the the Tell Me or Help menu, it acts like it has no idea what Copilot is. Source: 6 months ago
  • Autopilot "other user" login. Also "incorrect password".
    The password change goes through fine though. We can verify this by going to office.com on another laptop. Source: 6 months ago
