Migration Plan to Cloud Computing Complete

Microsoft has officially notified me it will no longer support Windows XP on 8 April 2014. Since January I have been devising a workflow plan of weaning document production and storage on my Windows XP units.

As of this writing, the planned migration away from the Microsoft platform to Apple devices and the cloud storage are complete and operational. This plan also involved some fine-tuning of the extant Google services Gmail and Google Drive.

Macro highlights of the changes put in practice are as follows:

• Reduce the use of Google's 15 Gb storage for all its apps to 2.5% or less:
  
  • Set Gmail account as same sender at a free 1TB Yahoo Mail account
    
  • Set auto-forward of Gmail newly sent and received email to Yahoo Mail account
    
  • Set auto-delete of newly sent and received Gmail
    
  • Set auto Google Drive script to send all old Gmail conversations to the Yahoo Mail account.
    
  • Extract Gmail attachments (jpg, pdf, mp3, mp4, and etc.) and upload them to cloud storage
    
  • Set up option to redirect Google Drive files to Box's 50 Gb free storage.
    
  • Clean-up Google Drive for use as a cloud "spare tire" or reserve.
    

• Migrate Widows Office Suite files from the Windows XP SD to the cloud
  
  • Set up free CloudOn Microsoft 2010 Office Suite linked to Google Drive and Box
    
  • Migrate all applicable all blog music, xml, and html to the cloud
    
  • Set up iOS devices' Numbers and Pages apps to "Open in..." cloud services
    

• Migrate Media Files from the Windows XP SD to the cloud
  
  • Set up iOS devices to do file and folder tasks (e.g. make, rename, delete, move, and 'open in...')
    
  • Set up iOS devices upload to the cloud directly including file compression
    
  • Set up iOS devices download from the cloud including file decompression
    
  • Set up iOS devices by-passing iTunes to import and export media files
    
  • Index and manage all media file uploads to the cloud
    
  • Create primary and secondary WebDav servers on all iOS devices for file sharing
