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.

Bluetooth trackers - Tile vs Apple

Some technical Qs about e-bikes.
Q1 - batteries. I understand these have built-in BMS circuits to monitor and protect them during charging. After they have been charged and installed on the bike, is it then purely the +&- contacts that do the job?

Q about adding second battery to eBike. (Not sure which best forum).
Hi. Giving thoughts to getting a G-Tech City ebike*. Yes, I know it's discontinued, and I know that parts will become scarce, and that's one of the reasons for this Q.
