PicTriev

PicTriev

I am going through family history and a thought occurred to me.

If I have different pictures, how can I make sure that they are the same person?

After looking at a great deal of pages, software, etc I found PicTriev.

It gives you percentages of how similar two pictures are and if it

thinks it is the same person.

 Measure similarity (how much they look alike) or identity 

(whether they are from the same person) between two faces.

Very cool!

I think that this might be very useful as a history and research project ...

OneDrive Sync shared folders to your computer

OneDrive Sync shared folders to your computer  

I must admit this is really incredible.  It gives you the ability to work anywhere

and it is also a way of making sure everything is always available!!

Sync shared folders to your computer  

You can add folders shared with you to your OneDrive so they sync down to 

your computer. They'll look like any other folder, but when you edit files in 

shared folders the changes will show up to everyone else with permission for

 that folder.  

Here's how it works:  

1  Go to your Shared list on OneDrive.‍com to check if folder(s)
     have been shared to you with the ability to edit.
     If there are none, create a folder and share it with edit permissions to your friends.
2  From the Shared list, select the folder you want to sync and click 'Add to my OneDrive'.
3  If you have the OneDrive app installed on your PC or Mac, the folder will also
    sync down unless you have opted to only sync some folders in OneDrive settings.
4  The folder will also be accessible from your main OneDrive folder on
    OneDrive‍.com and on the OneDrive mobile app, if you have it installed.
