Western Digital.

They expect me to pay to return a drive bought online from their own store that is faulty.  Needless to say, its next to impossible to talk to anyone, and they need excessive personal data to even create a case in the first place in order to find out that the morons expect me to foot the bill posting it back.

Retards.

I've had to pay to return 2 drives to WD in the past , they also wanted them sent in anti static bags ,in plastic "clam shells" for drives that where dead  fortunately i had the packaging .

plus side , they doubled the capacity of the replacement drives sent out FOC

Once I was able to actually speak to somebody, they came around to my way of thinking, and promptly sent me a shipping label.

Robbing microsoft barstewards, had to pay £20 to carryon downloading photos to my laptop. It also said if I didnt it would stop my e mails as well. Not computer savy enough to turn the cloud off.

Thats a bit worrying. Never heard of it happening before. May be a new thing ?

[dave the builder]

It's not new
people using Microsoft "one drive" etc
they give you "free " cloud storage,  then ,when you use up the small space, want to charge you for more space .

Local storage is the answer , save all your files on hard drives with back ups 



people who use mobile phones and take 20 pics of their dinner etc 

some laptops and note books with minimal storage are also a problem

SSDs and memory cards or even sata spinny HDDs are cheap now

Apple charge 99p a month for 50 Gb.

[Mr Skrunts]

Just bcking up picture off my new phone, only to find they are in HEIC format.

Had a nosy on the net and found file star (Free) but they want to charge a monthly fee.

Google said VLC would view them - Oh no it didnt.

So back to my favourite place for adice.

Need suggestions for an app to convert them.

T.I.A.

I probably didnt know beacause I dont take / keep that many photos. Ones I really want to keep I load onto postimages, but also leave them on my laptop in case Postimages goes the way of Photobucket.
Often delete them off my iphone as I keep getting messages that my cloud  is full but I can have more for 99p a month.
Wont ever pay for something if I dont have to.

Of course you won't touch products that actually work. You prefer to mess around with stuff that doesn't and ask daft questions all day

Harsh, but does have a ring of truth.

Which is starting to take the piss for such a misery amount of storage, it was justifiable just for the convenience at the old 79p...
