What do infosec people here know & think about Murena's workspace & cloud services?

I'm looking to get away from iCloud and Google, and as much as possible onto servers not in the US (Murena's are in Finland). Do anyone have experience with/knowledge about/hot goss in re Murena's cloud services?

Update: to be clear, I'm looking for info about user experiences with Murena Workspace, and any relevant cautions or caveats. Unfortunately, most technical information will be lost on this Boomer.

*I sadly don't need any advice/info on the Murena Fairphones, because they are not available in my location (the US)
