Scarcity of Diskspace
Underneath my scribbles of my idea. They idea about 'Scarcity of Disk Space' is driven by personal frustration. Since years I'm running out of disk space. I get at least once a month the warning “Your startup disk is almost full”? And what to do when that happens? My assumption is that I’m not the only one. I/m struggling with all the online (drive, dropbox, owncloud, etc) & offline (usb’s harddrives, NAS, etc) storage possibilities. My information is scattered all over the place, let alone who has access to it. Last Christmas I bought a NAS. Although since recently I managed to set it up, and approach it from outside my house. But who else can do so ;) Not sure if I protected it well. The latter is not really something I want to research further though. But honestly how often did it happen to you, that you get the warning “Your startup disk is almost full”?
