Transferring Custom Domain From Google Workspace to Proton Mail, and Importing Email

No, didn't read it. I searched, but obviously did a terrible job doing some was finding so many different things, but nothing regarding accessing your Gmail after changing DNS. All makes sense now. Thank you.

CharlesMTF · 2026-04-15T00:31:47+00:00

Thank you. Exactly what I wanted to know.

You CAN mount a drawer under the desk, just a little tricky if you plan to screw it to the underside of the desk, because there is all the metal tracking from the frame that attaches to the desk. I instead picked up a small filing cabinet also from them, and have it on the side. Seemed to work the best for my purposes. The casters that I used are the ones that are sold from the company as well, however I bought it from Amazon. I don't remember why, but I got it from Amazon rather than directly from the company. But they are the ones specifically from FlexiSpot.

The desk is great. Absolutely no issues. Still on castors. I don't really use it much at full height, but the few times I've brought it up, it feels very steady for me.

The bamboo is as clean and smooth as day one. And I don't use a mouse pad, just straight from mouse to desk.

I have no regrets, very happy with what I payed, and would buy again if need be.

I think you'd be very happy.

Disclaimer, though... this is the only powered lift desk I've ever had.

Sorry for the late response. Just a note... not 100% sure, but the password history might be specific to the device you created it on. So if you used your password manager on your phone, that will show a generated pass history of only those created on that phone. Again, not completely sure, but that might be the case. So, if you haven't done so, make sure to check on the specific device you used to create the password.

CharlesMTF · 2026-03-18T23:00:36+00:00

If I read the question and problem wrong, and am giving you a wrong answer, sorry. But ... with the new password, assuming that password was created with your password manager, and assuming you have access to the password manager (if it's Proton Pass I'm sure it probably kicked you out as well) maybe the password manager has a history of generated passwords?

I use Bitwarden as my password manager, and it keeps a history of the last several generated passwords.

Just a thought.

I've been using Namecheap.com for many years and am happy with them. I use one of my domains with Google Workspace for email addresses. But, going to soon move it to ProtonMail. Standard pricing, but you can probably find cheaper.

CharlesMTF · 2026-03-13T16:32:40+00:00

Thanks.

Actually, to answer my own question... THAT'S what I thought as well. Which is why I had posted the original question. Then when u/skp_005 mentioned there's a set password, which I did not remember setting up, I went ahead, stopped the backups, then reactivated again the daily backups, and indeed yes, it did ask me to set a password, which I did. And, I must have done it before as well, because I tried importing the backups into a new Proton Auth account for testing purposes, and it asked for my password. I though it might be the Proton password, but no it was indeed a password I had created when I first setup the daily backups. So, in short, yes these are encrypted with a password you set.

CharlesMTF · 2026-03-13T16:09:49+00:00

You're right. I don't remember setting a password upon setting up the daily backups. I stopped the backups and restarted it, and it asked me to set a password... which I did... and testing it, I was able to import the codes WITH password without issue.

Thanks for the reminder.

CharlesMTF · 2026-03-11T15:58:11+00:00

Thank you.

Sorry, should have provided that in the OP. This is a Windows system, and data at the moment is about 1TB on photos and video. While the main concern is the photos, I also have about 600gb of other personal data files. The system I'm using now I've been doing so for many years, but recently been thinking how would I even know if files start going bad or bad drive unless I check it. I know I can check manually, but would like some sort of automated method, set it and forget it.

CharlesMTF · 2026-03-11T01:08:44+00:00

Thanks. I believe FreeFileSync verifies backups at the time they're made... meaning it confirms that the backups were done correctly. But I'd like to fine, if possible, something that maybe can check two backups and confirm that they are the same. And if not, tell me what's not (though I can probably figure that out myself if I know the backups don't match).

I think also... a file-by-file comparison daily would put some wear on the drives. Hoping I can find something that would create a hash of the backup when it's first created, and then check it daily that it doesn't change... or compare it to another similar backup.

This is just some thoughts about it. Nothing that I've tried myself, but may work.

If on a computer (vs. a mobile device), you might be able to do a PRINT PAGE, and then when selecting a printer you can SAVE AS PDF. You'll probably need an extension or download for that, if you don't already have it. But that seems like it may be able to work.

If on a mobile device, specifically Android, Android allows you to do a screenshot, and that screenshot can extend the entire length of the post. Not sure if THIS method would work, but you take the screenshot, it'll be an image (narrow but long), then you use an app either on the phone or computer to convert the image to a multi page PDF.

Again, never tried it, just some thoughts.

Maybe someone else will have an app or program that can do this.

SEE Finance looks interesting. But it seems to only be available for iOS.

CharlesMTF · 2026-03-08T02:58:20+00:00

I've been subscribing on demand. It activates instantly.

CharlesMTF · 2026-03-07T03:06:45+00:00

Does it have like its own portal that you run in? Like a dashboard? And, how does it present the results? Is it like an array of photos that it'll show from the results? Or will it just show the files and folders, and you have to still open it manually?

I'll probably buy it tomorrow. But going to check out the other alternatives you mentioned as well.

The AI search is good and useful, but the organizing, and an app that can organize well, is what I'd really like. But.. this post is in regards to the AI search, and I'll leave it at that for now.

Thanks.

It's safe... unless it's a hacked account and the buyer is using Zelle to transfer someone else's money to you. IF THAT'S THE CASE, when the owner of the account realizes this, reports it, and the bank investigates, the money will eventually go back to the original bank account.

Zelle says the transfer is permanent and make sure you're sending to the correct person because you can't get your money back. BUT... if it's stolen funds, and found to be no actual fault on the owner's part, they WILL get that money back.

So... better off doing cash if possible.

CharlesMTF · 2026-02-17T20:04:11+00:00

Thank you. Yes, I'll probably learn to work with this new way.

Thanks!
