How to Stop Sharing Files in O365 & Google Drive

I love being able to share files with others without having to print something out or email it, but what if I want to stop sharing a document? How does that work?

If you are using O365 here's how you can turn off sharing - 

1. Log in to your O365 Account.
2. Go to OneDrive.
3. Right click on the file/folder > Share > Shared with.
4. If it's a folder you no longer want to share, you'll see who you are sharing with and their access. Click the down arrow next to their sharing rights and click stop sharing. If it's a folder, click the stop sharing option.

If you are using Google Drive here's how you can turn off sharing -

2. Right click on the file/folder > Share 
4. If you shared it with a link, click the drop down next to the link and click Off > Done. If you shared with a person, click the X next to their name > Done.

Not the Same Old Notes App

I have to admit, I've never been a big fan of the Notes app that came with my iPad. It was a good tool for simple note taking but there were other apps that did a better job and provided more features for a more robust app. It's amazing what an iOS update will do for an app! The new Notes app has some great new features that just may convince me to start using it again.

​1. Set up folders to keep your notes organized and save them all to iCloud so you can access your notes from anywhere.


2. Attach photos and videos your notes. Just tap the camera icon and select what you want to insert.


3. The new app has a drawing tools that lets you put your doodles right into the note.


4. Easily create a checklist within your note. Click on the checklist icon and start making that list.


5. Insert a web link into a note. Click the share icon at the top of the screen and select Notes. Select the note you want it to go in or you can create a new note.


6. Insert directions into a note. Click on the share icon at the top of the screen and select Notes. You can put it right into one of your notes - you'll never have to dig for directions again.

Overall, I like what's been done to the Notes app - a big improvement over the the original.
