  I think of all the unified tech ecosystems, Apple is hands down the best but Google is still the best non-Apple option. The only other option I think is Microsoft, and I would rather drown in burning gasoline than go back to anything Microsoft touches.

  Obviously the best option is to host your own stuff through open source, which I am doing, but it’s taking time, it’s a lot of work to keep up with. Google gives me a bunch of barely passable tools accessible from anything with an internet connection.

  I did degoogle for browser and search though. Firefox and Kagi makes the internet almost tolerable.

      Do you keep the cord hanging out or do you go fishing every time you need a file?

    The best that I’m aware of that’s almost exactly the same and not the different (but better options already said): mega.io

      I guess cloud based until I can find reasonably priced home storage.

    i haven’t used it at the same scale as gdrive, but you could check out proton. the subscription isn’t too bad and you can roll in VPN also

    I have Nextcloud running on my home server, hooked up to a 2tb drive. It’s kind of a pain the ass to have to maintain, but less of a pain in the ass than relying on Google.
