Alternatives to gmail products (gmail, office, etc) - Lemmy.world

Hello all, Looking for an alternatives to gmail and it’s apps as I’m trying to de-google from their services.

Chrome -> Firefox

Gmail/Calendar/Drive -> Proton

Office -> LaTeX/LibreOffice

Maps -> Idk, not really many good options, apple maps is good too, but not sure if that’s what you’re looking for.

Not really the same thing, but I switched from Google Drive to Syncthing. It’s not as secure in terms of “chance of losing your data”, but I’m replicating data on my main PC, on my phone and on my RPi Zero and this is good enough for me, at least for now. Ideally I would periodically encrypt and upload every synced folder to the cloud (just because it’s encrypted), but that’s for another day.

Syncthing is absolutely amazing, but it doesn’t server the same purpose as google drive, drive is more of a backup solution. syncthing is absolutely not that.

With your current setup if you get some ransomware that encrypts your files in any of your devices you’ll lose access to your files in all of them.

Syncthing is absolutely A tier software, but it’s explicitly not a backup solution.
