Get the most out of tablet use

 

When your smartphone screen is just too small for what you want to do and a laptop is just too big to carry around, a tablet is a perfect portable solution. But how do you make the most out of your tablet?

Secure Everything

A password might seem like a no-brainer, but some people let the inconvenience of typing in a password get in the way of their security. Make sure you set up a password to protect your information from thieves. Many tablets automatically encrypt your data once you set a password, but older models and Android and Windows tablet users might need to enable data encryption in their settings.

Securing your data isn't the only thing you should worry about: make sure you protect your tablet with a good case and screen protector so drops and spills won't get in your way.

Upgrade to a New Tablet

Take Advantage of the Cloud

Use the cloud and download apps on tabletBecause tablets are so portable, they are a great way to access movies, files, and important emails on the go. Cloud services like Google Drive, Dropbox, and Microsoft OneDrive make it easy to access files and movies wherever you are. And if you know you're going to be away from Wi-Fi or data, many of these services let you easily download what you need before you leave.

The real benefit of storing files on the cloud is being able to update a single file from anywhere and not have to worry about sending version after version to yourself.
