How to manage photos, videos on new laptop with limited space

An external hard drive is an excellent option for storing photos and videos to free up space on your laptop.

External hard drives are one of the most practical and reliable solutions for expanding your laptop's storage capacity.

They connect to your computer via USB (and increasingly via USB-C for faster transfer speeds).

Cloud storage services like Google Drive , Dropbox and Microsoft OneDrive offer convenient, flexible options for storing large files without consuming your laptop's limited space.

These services allow you to securely store your photos, videos and documents in the cloud, freeing up valuable storage on your device.

Cloud services come with features like automatic syncing and backup, making it easier to organize and safeguard your files.

Using a VPN (virtual private network) service can enhance your privacy by encrypting your internet traffic.

A VPN masks your IP address, helping to obscure your location and online activity.

Be cautious with public Wi-Fi when connected to public networks or use a VPN for added security.

Use secure file transfer methods when sharing files.
