Ask Paul: February 9 (Premium)

Happy weekend everyone. Here's another edition of "Ask Paul," and as you might expect, there are several questions about PWAs this week.
Xbox Game Pass
dave.erwin asks:
Microsoft is bringing “new” exclusive titles to Game Pass. Will they also bring “current” exclusive titles? I’d subscribe if they’d put Forza 7 on it.
This is a great idea (and a great question). I don't know about "will" but I am positive on "should": Obviously, they should do so. But I will ask Microsoft about this.
Photo backup and sync
dave.erwin also asks:
How are you syncing photos from your NAS to Google Photos? Backup & Sync don’t appear to work with mapped network drives and the desktop uploader is no longer available. I’ve been thinking about copying our existing photos to Google Photos but it looks like I’d have to move them to a local drive to do it. I could setup a VM on the Synology and run Backup & Sync from there but that seems like a real hack for something that should be simple.
I did a one-time sync from the NAS to Google Photos but this isn't something I do on an ongoing basis because it's not necessary. Instead, all new photos are automatically synced to Google Photos (and to OneDrive) from the phones. And they are copied to the NAS from time to time as well.

How did I do this? I believe I just mapped the NAS's Photos folder as a drive on my desktop PC and then configured the Google Photos app to sync that location. This was some time ago though. So I tested it again this morning and it works fine: I mounted the Photos folder on the NAS as drive P: and configured Backup and Sync (the new client) to sync only from a folder in that location. It noted that this kind of sync would only work while the folder was mounted on the PC, but it works.
Over-promise, never deliver?
rojorojo asks:
Whatever happened to Cloud Clipboard?
It has never materialized and will not be included with Windows 10 Redstone 4 (RS4) unless it is a surprise, last-minute add. Brad asks about this all the time, and it's fair to put this into the "over-promise and under-deliver" complaint I voiced last year.
Will timeline or the ability to "pick up where you left off" ever happen between Windows and iOS/Android?
Yes. In fact, that's the only way Timeline makes any sense. Not that many people use multiple PCs.

It seems that we have the ability to send an Edge browser tab from a phone to a PC (which is great btw) but when will we be able to go from PC to phone/tablet?

You are asking all the right questions. One-way browser tab sync is only half the story. I expect this in the next Windows 10 release (RS5). In fact, everything you're asking about will likely happen in that time frame.
Office text selection behavior
maethorechannen asks:
Is there anyway to get Office apps to stop "helpfully" adding spaces after a selection of text? I know how to use a mouse and that extra space is always unwanted and often causes me extra work. I've looked ...
