    <h3>5 Steps for Cloud Storage Management</h3>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Below are some steps you can implement to help manage your cloud storage usage over time.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><br></div>
    <h4>1. Yearly or monthly clean-ups </h4>
    <div>
    <ul>
    <li>Look through your files on your UMBC Drive and look at the last time that file was accessed. If the file was last accessed over a year ago, consider deleting it. If you believe that you may need the file at some point down the line, consider transferring it to a flash drive or somewhere not on UMBC cloud services while considering the sensitivity of the data and protecting it appropriately.</li>
    <li>If you want to hold onto work from previous semesters, consider consolidating them into a compressed folder and downloading them to your hard drive or an external drive.</li>
    </ul>
    <div><br></div>
    </div>
    <h4>2. What should be prioritized on your UMBC Google Drive</h4>
    <div><ul><li>Your UMBC Google Drive and other cloud storage options provided by the university should be prioritized for storing UMBC files.</li></ul></div>
    <blockquote>
    <div><div><strong>UMBC Cloud Storage</strong></div></div>
    <div>
    <ul>
    <li>Documents, spreadsheets, and presentations for classes, UMBC work</li>
    <li>UMBC-related documents</li>
    <li>UMBC Research documents</li>
    <li>Collaborative Files</li>
    </ul>
    <div>
    <strong>Personal Cloud Storage, Hard Drive, </strong><strong>External Drive</strong>
    </div>
    </div>
    <div><ul>
    <li>Personal documents</li>
    <li>Personal photos and videos</li>
    <li>Personal Computer Backups</li>
    <li>Personal projects</li>
    <li>Long-term files not used regularly</li>
    </ul></div>
    </blockquote>
    <h4><span>3. Remember to empty the Trash bin!</span></h4>
    <div>
    <ul><li>After deleting any files, clear out your trash bin so that storage space is freed up on your drive</li></ul>
    <div><br></div>
    </div>
    <div><h4>4. Create a folder structure or naming convention for files</h4></div>
    <div>
    <ul>
    <li>Having your files organized in a consistent system of folders and names that you understand can make your life easier in the long run. When it comes to finding files and when you may need to delete those files later</li>
    <li>Consider asking Google Gemini for help creating a folder structure</li>
    </ul>
    <div><br></div>
    </div>
    <h4>5. File as you go</h4>
    <div>
    <ul><li>Organize your files once you create or download them. Making this a habit will make it so you don't have to worry about a backlog of unsorted files later</li></ul>
    <div><br></div>
    </div>
    <div><br></div>

    <div class="html-content">
    <p><strong>Welcome </strong>to the Maryland Institute for Innovative Computing (MIIC) newsletter.</p>
    <p>MIIC's purpose is to bring together researchers, educators, industry, and government to address challenges in areas such as cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, and cloud computing. Our goal is to keep Maryland at the forefront of discovery while providing opportunities for students, educators, and professionals to develop the skills needed in today's technology-driven world.</p>
    <p><em>"The Range is a perfect fit for student-driven projects—whether they're preparing for competitions or building their own capture-the-flag challenges." </em></p>
    <div>- Paul Thompson</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <p>In this first issue, we highlight one of our flagship initiatives: Maryland's access to the U.S. Cyber Range. This cloud-based training environment provides hands-on cybersecurity learning without the need for local infrastructure.</p>
    <p>Thanks to state support, K–12 school systems and public higher education institutions can use the platform at no cost.</p>
    <p>This newsletter will feature updates, events, and opportunities to engage with MIIC. We look forward to building this community together! </p>
    <p><em><strong>For the complete newsletter, please check out the flyer attached!</strong></em></p>
