Linking PC to mobile phone
Under Windows I linked my Android phone to my desktop PC. It actually works well, and I can do things like view my phone messages on the PC.

However after (unwisely) choosing to sync files today I think it has been taking files off my hard disk and only storing it on the remote cloud…
