TV 'Dirty Screen' marks?
I have a 5 year old LG LG-OLED55C14LB TV purchased with a 6 year warranty from Richer Sounds. It has developed what I describe as dirty marks on the picture.

Saving in Google Drive
Question? How do you organise your files in Google Drive? The architecture is a bit of a mystery to me. Can anyone recommend a good YouTube video about this or explain at all. At the moment Google Drive just saves for me and I go into recent files. There must be more to it than that.
