Highly appreciated by Internet users for the transfer of unlimited files, the Telegram application receives a new very practical service. Developers have used an end-to-end encrypted messaging app API to create an unlimited cloud storage service. Good news for people who want to keep documents and files for free.

A cloud storage service on Telegram

TeleDrive developers are innovating with a very interesting new service. They relied on the API available on Telegram to develop a free cloud storage system. You can then use it to store files much like on Google One or OneDrive. To use it, simply link your Telegram account and associate it with TeleDrive to start downloads.

However, note that this service has some limitations. In free mode, the user is limited to 1.5 GB bandwidth and daily 2 GB downloads. However, it is possible to remove this restriction by subscribing to a $10/year subscription with TeleDrive. You will be able to download large volumes of files no matter the time of day.

The peculiarities of Telegram’s cloud storage

Telegram is an end-to-end encrypted instant messaging application. In view of this, the files stored on TeleDrive are of a confidential nature. That said, note that it is possible to make them public and share it by message to your contacts on Telegram. You can generate a URL that anyone on the internet can easily access.

The use of this cloud storage service, however, poses a big concern. TeleDrive has not established any collaboration with the administration that governs the operation of Telegram. At any time, the latter could therefore decide to eliminate this service. It just needs to limit or break its API from its cloud storage. It is for this reason that specialists recommend using it as a secondary backup solution.

The Meta (former Facebook) team of the popular WhatsApp messenger is working on a new interesting feature for users.

In the latest beta version of WhatsApp for Android, there are hints of new drawing tools. As the thematic resource WABetaInfo drew attention to, two new pencils have been added to the built-in WhatsApp image editor in addition to the existing pencil. The pencil icons indicate that the new pencils will allow you to draw thicker lines on images or videos.

WhatsApp currently allows you to change the color of the pencil, but there is no way to increase or decrease the thickness of the stroke. In addition, WhatsApp has begun work on a blur tool. This should make it easier to share screenshots and photos by allowing you to “blur” the areas you need before sending.

It is not yet clear when the new tools will become publicly available in the stable versions of WhatsApp.

One of the most notable features of the Windows 11 operating system, apart from the new Start menu, is the widget bar. However, it did not arouse much enthusiasm on the part of users, since all widgets are created by Microsoft and are limited in terms of functionality and settings. However, this situation may soon change.

Even before the official debut of Windows 11, there were rumors that Microsoft would allow third-party widgets in the new OS. Enthusiasts have now found evidence of the imminent launch of support for third-party widgets in a developer advisory posted on Microsoft’s website.

The support document assumes that third-party widgets will be web-facing, and Microsoft has no plans to open the ability to create Win32 or UWP widgets yet, but this may change in the future.

As noted by the thematic resource WindowsLatest, the new “Widgets” may be part of the big Windows 11 22H2 update, also known as Sun Valley 2. The release of this version is expected at the end of summer. The focus will be on improving the quality of the existing user interface.
