No its was just convenient, In the main I can use the net to bring files over to the later windows machines still. but it did give a way of putting files into cold storage when other machines were not on and be able to access them later on. I suppose a network connected hard drive would do exactly the same job though and probably faster in the long run.
I have toyed with the idea of so getting one which could contain several bit drives as both a server and back up device, but when looking at such ideas, I've normally found that screenreaders have serious troubles looking at them as the machines run bespoke software of some kind.

To be honest xp started really fast faster than 7 ever did, faster than 10 and this was on a hard drive.

I'm not having a moan, but just wonder how many old xp users will now continue to use their machines with broken security and hacked cloud storage.

Subject: [nvda] Google drive nagging
I see that Google drive are nagging me to update to the back up and restore new version. I disabled updates some time ago to keep the old format as nvda would not work very well with the newer versions coming out and also they were crashing machines all over the place
Is it now safe to update as the cryptic message its putting up every so often is that its no longer supported, which could just mean its not ever going to get security updates or that they intend to stop users with the old software from accessing the system any more. I have no idea which, but a few days after Google also nagging me to not use email clients to access their accounts they do seem to be getting a bit too aggressive toward their users in my view.
Is there any other easy to use cloud storage that can run on old xp machines,which is the only real reason for using google drive at all since dropbox stopped its software running, mainly due to the fact that they started to use a newer code compiler that made code that fell over on xp.

I don't use enough to pay for it, but looking at
them there seems to be a valid reason to pay for either if you have a lot of

Yes but I had serious issues on windows 7 with it
crashing. Now the weird thing is that it looks like they have also abandoned xp
completely, which was the only reason I was still it as other machines run

offering.

Is it now accessible on Windows or are you using it on a Mac? I in-installed it from both my windows 10 Desktop and Laptop last year as at that time the settings / preferences were inaccessible on both machines. Very annoying at the time. David Griffith My Blind Access and Guide dog Blog

Well when I tried to install google drive on my newer systems the new one was installed so you may have no choice.
At any rate most of the setup works but after that it doesn't.
Thats fine because you can access things via menus which is why even though dropbox latest has no accessibility once configured you don't need the client for normal use.
The issue with the google is that window in the middle of the screen and the fact it will crash especially if you close it.
I won't be using google drive anymore there are other services that I can use.
dropbox for 1.
and 1 drive for another, in fact with the way they are pushing the 365 experience the way they are, I suspect other cloud services will have a hard time keeping up.
I mean the 365 model reminds me of my cellphone previder or my net previder.
Except in additional to calls and texts I get 1tb of cloud storage which none of my coms previders previde me as well as a lot of extras.
