Disadvantages in OneDrive Cloud storage or plan 

I have been detailing for a long time in my articles of my desire to move towards reliable and most affordable online cloud storage choice. After well thought and dragging decision for a long time, I have decided to opt for Microsoft's OneDrive as my preferred online cloud storage platform for its affordability and exclusive access to office applications. However, post migration to OneDrive, there is specific disadvantage of the platform when installed on MAC and wanted to detail the same to my readers. 
  • Lack of choice to select specific folders in MAC: I use Apple's MacBook pro as my preferred laptop for both business and personal use and have no intentions of moving back to Windows operating system in near future. Post installation of OneDrive to my MAC, the most annoying part was, it had defined folders in it and had no preferences/options available to either select or discard specified folder inside my MAC. I had to copy and paste each file(s) into OneDrive's folder for it to sync across devices and when there is change in files architecture or update in the document, the changed files or updated document to be manually moved to the OneDrive‘s online folder. Also, OneDrive does not allow users to backup system files or back up critical system files to OneDrive folder. 
The above detailed problems should be addressed by OneDrive at the earliest, so when users like me, who are first time paid subscribers and users from Mac operating system feel comfortable. For more such articles, please feel free to check out the G R Team Sites.

Predictions for upcoming AirPods 3 in 2021

I have been detailing my expectations on Apple products in the earlier blog posts published on my other sites, this blog post will be in continuation on this topic. From recent April 21 event from Apple, the most expected product that Apple had missed to reveal was AirPods 3 or next generation AirPods Pro. So, here are my expectations around the product. 
  • Updated version of AirPods: The recent design leaks suggest that the next version of AirPods is going to be updated version of AirPods 2. The next version of AirPods may even be called at AirPods 3. 
  • Design changes: The updated version of AirPods is going to have completely modern design and the case resembling like AirPods Pro. The modern design will enable AirPods 3 also to support the spatial audio option and offer improved battery performance. 
  • Pricing: The updated AirPods 3 version pricing will be in between AirPods 2 and AirPods Pro. Also, the pricing will be almost same as AirPods 2 and the current AirPods 2 pricing will be reduced, to keep it as the base version of AirPods line up.

Looking for alternative option for swollen MacBook pro battery 

My MacBook Pro battery looked swollen, and I tried to resolve it by opening the back panel and checked out connections and removed some screws underneath the swollen section to further save the lifespan. However, after finding out from research that it is not advisable to continue the usage and the battery swollen was increasing by each day with normal usage. I had two options left, one is to either replace the battery or to replace the laptop with complete new one. With budgetary constraints, I had no option available other than to replace the batteries in my old MacBook Pro and ensure that the battery is compatible. Since I have been using 2012 MacBook Pro, the OEM battery option was ruled out, as Apple has stopped the manufacturing of older version of batteries and finding reliable battery available in online shopping network is one of the most complicated process. To know more of how I bought battery for my MacBook Pro, please feel free to check the blog posts listed in “G R Team Sites”
