In today’s world where cloud storage is taking place of our small storing devices like pen drive, it may become a tedious job to upload tons of files to the cloud services like google drive or one drive. So how to make these tasks easy and convenient? We can use the send to shortcut menu in windows, which is accessible by right click.Requirements.
- 1. A windows PC.
- 2. One drive or Google drive already installed on PC if we need assistance installing Google drive or One drive, open link in new tab
Adding One Drive to SEND TO menu.
For this demo, we are using One Drive, but you can also do this with Google Drive as well. Certainly, this is one of the most effective ways to use right-click send to the menu on your Windows PC.Let's get started!
1. Now, open run from the start menu or by simply pressing Windows Key + R.
2. Write "Shell:sendto" in run command and hit enter. This will open a Send to a folder, where we will be creating a shortcut for one drive.
We can also navigate to C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo, where USERNAME is your computer's name.
3. Right-click in the white space in the Send To Folder, and click on New and select Shortcut.
4. In the location field, browse the location of One Drive/ Google Drive.
5. Name the shortcut that you want to see in SEND TO menu.
6. Right-click on the file you want to send, and it will be uploaded to One Drive/Google Drive depending upon over selection.
We can also use this trick of editing "send to" menu for many other purposes like sending a folder to specific drive (C:, E:, etc), to a specific folder, and delete some unnecessary items like fax recipient.

These tips will help you to get most out of the Chrome browser.
1. Pin Tab.
If you are someone who has generally large number of tab open then you will find this 'Pin Tab' technique useful.The pin tab reduce the tab size to favicon. Right click on tab and select pin tab to get it done, simple.
2. Drag and Re-size textbox on webpages.
Another good feature. A lot of times, the text boxes on webpages are annoying. They are too small and after you have typed a few lines, you get a scroll bar which is irritating. On Chrome, you could actually drag that box from the corner and make it bigger. You could try it right now with the comment box at the bottom of this page.
3. Open Accidentally Closed Tabs.
If you are a heavy tab user and have got too many tabs open in Chrome then identifying them is a problem, and you could end up spending considerable amount of time to find out which tab you closed accidentally. You can quickly reopen that tab before you lose track. i.e. simply ctrl + shift + T.
4. Task Manager.
Yeah I am saying Task manager in chrome. Chrome treats each and every tab as a separate process, so if one of them starts creating problem it can be killed and browser crash could be prevented. We can see memory and CPU resource consumed by each tab. You can access it through Tools_> Task Manager or by pressing SHIFT + Esc.
5. Drag Multiple Tabs at once.
Most of us are familiar with dragging one tab into new window. You can do that with multiple windows too, simply use ctrl Key and select other tab (same as selecting multiple files) and then drag it to other window.
6. Drag and Drop Search.
It was the nice and quick way to search word by electing it and 'search google for...' You can do that in a new and quick way too. Simply select the word you want to search and then drag it to 'new tab' button it will show result in new tab with your default search engine. Or there is an extension available here which is customizable.
7. About Memory.
For the geeks among you, Chrome provides an “About memory” page that can accessed by typing about: memory in the address bar. This gives detailed insights into how different processes in the browser are consuming memory. This shows memory usage of all running browser.
8. Navigate Between Tabs Quickly.
Use Ctrl+Tab to navigate Tabs one by one
Press Ctrl-1 to go to 1st Tab
Press Ctrl-2 to go to 2nd Tab
...
Press Ctrl-9 to switch to the last Tab
9. Use AutoFill to Auto-Complete an Address.
If you find yourself typing your address time and time again,you might want to consider Chrome's AutoFill options which can remember it and save you the repeat effort. Go to settings -> Options -> Personal Stuff -> Click on the check-box “Enable Autofill to fill out web forms in a single click” -> Click on Manager autofill settings -> Click on ‘Add new Address’ and enter the information.You can also choose to add a credit card via AutoFill, but for security reasons we'd advise thinking twice before going down that route.
10. Google Chrome Browser Shortcuts Keys.
The following are some useful shortcuts:
Alt+F – Open the wrench menu (i.e. chrome settings menu).
Ctrl+J – Go to downloads window.
Ctrl+H – Go to history window.
Ctrl+Tab – Navigate Tabs.
Alt+Home – Go to home page.
Ctrl+U – View source code of the current page.
Ctrl+K – To search quickly in the address bar.
Ctrl+L – Highlights the URL in the address bar (use this to copy/paste the URL quickly).
Ctrl+N – Open a new Chrome browser window.
Ctrl+Shift+N – Open a new incognito window (for private browsing).
Ctrl+Shift+B – Toggle bookmark display.
Ctrl+W – Close the current Tab.
Alt+Left Arrow – Go to the previous page from your history.
Alt+Right Arrow – Go to the next page from your history.
Space bar – Scroll down the current web page.
Enjoy...!!!!

Google Search... We use it every day, but still all we know is how to search. But the search engine has plenty of tricks up its sleeve. Here’s an overview of some of the most useful Google search tricks, from basic tips to new features just recently released.
1. Google Gravity.
Go to google and type “Google Gravity” and hit I’m felling lucky button or open first link.
The Scenario: We Want to find an e-commerce website similar to Flipkart.
The Solution- Type: related:flipkart.com.
NOTE: related:flipkart.com and related: flipkart.com are not same.
The Scenario: want to restrict your search results to the site or domain.
The Solution: Type "site:" followed by the URL of the website you'd like to search. Then add your search terms or you can also do it like this.
Eg:- "windows security site:microsoft.com".
Try a new way of searching Google: just write your query anywhere on the screen! Handwrite is a beta feature, available on Google.com from your smartphone or tablet. You can activate or disable Handwrite from your mobile search settings.
Turn Handwrite on or off.
1. Visit the Search settings page from your phone or tablet.
2. Go to the Handwrite section.
3. Select Enable to turn on and Disable to turn off.
4.At the bottom of the page, touch Save.
5. Keep It Simple.
Keep your search phrase as simple as possible.
Eg:- "Where can I find a Chinese restaurant". Could be searched like: “Chinese Restaurant Nearby” (Google uses your location to search).
6. Use hyphen ‘-‘ to exclude searches.
The Solution: so I can exclude animal by:-"Jaguar –animal". This will give me result of Jaguar Car only.
7. See weather info.
Type “CITY” forecast or you can also type "weather City_name/Zipcode" in Google Search.
8. Use Asterisks as Wild Card Words.
If there’s a popular phrase that you can’t remember fully, you can use asterisk to your advantage and search for the entire phrase in Google. Add an asterisk within a search as a placeholder for any unknown words. Type in something like a * saved is a * earned and you’ll get back different variations of the popular saying.
9. Search For Words In Exact Order.
When you put a word or phrase in quotes, the results will only include pages with the same words in the same order as the ones inside the quotes. Only use this if you're looking for an exact word or phrase, otherwise you'll exclude many helpful results by mistake.
Eg:- "imagine all the people" with quotes.
10. Google offline Game.
Slow internet or offline? Getting Bored? Try this on Google Chrome.
For Mobile: Just drag dragon up and start playing.
For PC: Press Up Arrow Key and get started.
