Truphone to bring its Apple SIM data plans to 30+ markets later this year

Truphone announced today that its Apple SIM data plans for cellular iPads are now officially available in Ireland and Portugal following last week's launch in Australia and the Netherlands.

The service is also available in Hong Kong, Poland, Spain and the United Kingdom, with an additional 31 countries to follow by the end of 2017.

These plans let iPad owners instantly get online and stay connected via the Truphone network at home and while traveling in 40 countries without international roaming charges.

Truphone is giving customers 100MB of data for free, with a try before you buy offer making it easy for customers to get 4G data directly on their iPad with no obligation to purchase.

To sign up for the service, just tap Settings > Mobile Data > Set Up Mobile Data, select Truphone as your provider and choose a data bucket you need for a month. You can buy more data at any time with a valid Visa or MasterCard in 40 countries.

Two new features are now available, too:

Auto Renew: Automatically purchase a new data plan when the current one expires or is consumed for uninterrupted 4G connectivity, with built-in overspend protection. Top Up Anytime: The freedom to add more data anytime, anywhere without having to wait for your plan to expire. Create an easily-managed queue of data plans to make sure you never run out of data.

Apple SIM is built into all cellular iPad Pro models and is compatible with the fifth-generation iPad, first-generation 12.9-inch iPad Pro, iPad mini 4 and iPad Air 2 cellular models.

How to share files and documents between users of a same Mac

Share files among the user accounts on your Mac

If you have a Mac in your household, chances are it's being shared between several family members. With every family member having his or her own account, each user can then operate the computer without messing up other users' files and settings.

In that kind of situation, users might, at some point, want to share files and documents with each other. This can be done either via a Shared folder, a Public folder available to each user, and a Drop Box folder that is specific to each user. (Not to be confused with cloud storage service Dropbox.)

In this post, you will learn the differences between a Shared folder, a Public folder, and the Drop Box folder. You will find out when and how to use each method to share files and documents between users of the same Mac.
