yeah... I am still using it... it's great everytime I am quickly able to find my stuff. :) thanks for watching.

Thanks for the support and I will try to work on better contents :)

War Eagle! Thanks for stopping by!

Thanks for your comment. I use it all the time. I need to find better way to put the qr code on the cloth containers though :) thanks for your comments!!

Good thing my phone used has NFC Feature.

works great!

Thanks!

Thanks for watching my videos!! Have a great day!!

That's right ... the only challenge that I found was that those links has to be public links so depending on what you want to be public it can be a pain in the butt in keeping things private. But you got the right ideas!!! Thanks for watching my videos! Have a great day!!

​@@minhsao It's true... that's the main drawback for sure. You can link to a non-Google indexed link like an Evernote link, but that still doesn't make it private. I'm interested in trying this, though. The main thing that stopped me from buying the printer you used is that a lot of thermal printing label makers still print with BPA or related compounds which aren't so great for your health. There is phenol free thermal label paper out there, but when I asked the maker of the printer you mentioned in the video if their paper was phenol free, they didn't respond. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bisphenol_A This makes me suspect it has phenols in it which are still not so good for your health. As a result, I took a look at handheld printers that can also print QR codes on a variety of surfaces. (Like the Ricoh Handy Printer). It's a fair bit more expensive than the thermal label printer you mentioned, but its versatility might make it worth checking out for a future review. Cheers and thanks for the ideas! Anyhow best wishes from Nagoya, JP - the most boring major city in Japan. Cheers.

@@mikemiller7377 dude! I was just in Japan!!! Still have a bunch of videos to edit about that… thanks again for checking out my video and good luck on your project and thanks for the thermal printer suggestions… I will check it out!

@@minhsao Wish I could have met up with you for a drink when you were here! Keep up the good work and let me know if you are ever back in the land of the rising sun. Cheers.🍺

@@mikemiller7377 yep love to do that, I love visiting Japan so I will be back soon!!

Glad to hear! Good luck!

Glad you enjoyed it... thanks for your support!!

Oh my gosh... I am exactly that way as well... if you look carefully in the background you will see exactly what I mean. I try to get organized but I can't focus enough to finish the job. .... hence the 10 video backlog that I have... but what I find sometime that helps me is to make small goals and even if you can't finish the big goals, the little goals still feels good... Good luck and thanks for the comment and watching my video!!!

I don't know if ADHD or OCD, but do have problem 2 accomplished big goals, eg: new bathroom. What I've learned about my procrastination side of me is take small steps. Each week, I take small steps on the big task, which eventually lead 2 an accomplish goal. Good luck, & thx 4 sharing on Utube.

That is what I do for my garage boxes too

That is a great idea!!! I will do that on my next video!! Thanks for the suggestion!!

Also nfc is supported iPhone 7 and up

You can use google photo on your computer :)

I love NYC!!! I had a brother label maker that is similar to the Dymo as well. My recommend is to leverage something like what I used in the video, like this label maker. MakeID Label Maker M1 - amzn.to/3eOJOhW It's pretty cheap and probably saves you more time than trying to get label and figure out everything on your Dymo. Also it is so much faster to make labels since you set everything on your phone app. ... good luck and have a great day!

Yep the label maker can create the QR code with an URL!!

The printer has an associated app that allow you to just type in a URL and it will allow you to print QR codes. I will do a video on this printer soon!! Let me know if you have anymore questions and thanks for watching my video!!!

@@minhsao thank you. Im thinking about how to organize and archive boxes of files differently now based on your videos. You’ve given me some good ideas!! Thank you.

I would put it in the description of the photo. You can do that in google photos. I do that for all my items to get better search results. Good luck

please clarify what you are trying to do with the QR codes? for inventory management?

you can do both. I usually take the pictures without live photo and then upload them all at once to the container album. Good luck

you can use any method you wish to print the QR code. I've use a regular printer and a 1"x1" stickers... as seen in my other video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nciKd7d41tW6m6c.html I found the small label makers pretty convenient. .. good luck.

Yes.. it will probably work with Notion if it provide an public URL. however, the point of using Google photo is for the tags and image searches.

Hello Thanks for watching my video. You don't really need a url shortener...but a URL shrotener does make the QR code smaller, but if you are using the NFC tags it doesn't really matter. But with that said, I actually build my own URL shortener in this video by using yourls.org/ inside a docker container. It's pretty simple but it will be much more than I can explain here in a comment. But if you are interested, I can create one as s future video. Anyways, if you do not want register your own shorten domain and build your own URL shortener, then I would suggest you try one of the free url shorteners. blog.appsumo.com/best-url-shortener/ ... I could not find one that I feel is super safe without my information being sold or controlled that is why I built my own. I hope my response helps and good luck and thanks again for watching my video and let me know if I can help. Have a great day.

yes please make a video on how to host our own shortened url. I like the security of having my own link and also the simplicity of keeping it short like yours@@minhsao

The links are to the folders not directly to the photos

Just type in what you are searching for and click on the image of the results and the look for the description and it should tell you which box it’s in… good luck

Sorry that you have to spend so much time messing with this. Yeah most of the free URL shorteners just give you a randomly generated address. That's really ok, because the only reason you need a shortener is to reduce the URL size so you can reduce the QR code size. In my demo, i built my own URL shortener that is why I can use any suffix that I choose. My recommendation are the following: 1) if you are interesting in learning how everything works and don't mind spending the extra time, then I would continue to use the method described in this video, but either use another free URL shortener or just don't worry about the custom suffix. 2) If that custom suffix really bothers you then you can get a paid service like beaconstac which provides QR code as well as shortened URL. 3) Finally, it maybe much easier if you are planning to pay to just simply use a complete solution that I have listed in the description. It's never bad to learn about how it works, but it just take time and effort. I hope my answer helps. and if you have any additional questions please feel free to post it here and I will try to assist. Good luck and thanks again for watching my videos! Happy Thanksgiving!!!

@@minhsao Thank you for responding so quickly. Your video was exactly what I was looking for to keep track of my inventory with eBay. The custom numbering it's not that big of a deal since I will just add the numbers to the label with the QR code. I plan to get a separate Google account to put all my pictures in. You are an excellent teacher and I look forward to seeing more of your videos. Thank you again and have a wonderful holiday.

@@dorisp9127 thank you Doris… thank you for such an encouraging message. I will find some time to do more tutorial videos. This is a hobby for me so my content hopes around… but I want to help people understand technology … good luck in your QR code experiment … let me know if you have any more questions

yeah... to get it spatially mapped you will need to have a reader at every location which is much more complex.

You can use anything, a QRcode is just encoded text. As long as you know where to plug that text in, it can be anything. Personally my QRcodes are not URLs but ID's. This allows me to use any backed system I want. Of you like a nice back end that is self hosted, grocy is really cool, integrates with home assistant.

Google photo is free… depending on amount of photos … I am using a separate account just for this. You can use any thing else that gives you a url for your QR code. But the reason why I like google photo is I can search with in the photos. Good luck!!

depends on how you set the permissions ... I set it to public... risky but at the same time.. security through obscurity ... not recommended if you are putting expensive things in your box.... if you want to be private, i would lock it down on who can access the google photos :) good luck!!

Thanks for watching my video... The search was pretty easy right? I guess it is not as easy as just writing what inside the box on a label, but this is kind of cool with google photo can search for a photo based on text .... right? I am just curious, what was it that you found difficult, maybe I can make another video or come up with another process to make it easier. But again thanks for watching my video and good luck with your organization quest.

Sorry about that... there are no way for me to change the video now... but I will make sure that doesn't happen in my future videos. Thanks for the constructive feedback... and thanks for watching.
