i posted this on reddit before but i wanted to get your opinion on this

i use my familys google drive/photo thing (i cant really change) and i obviously want us to switch, but my mom (who take care of this whole thing) says that she likes the ecosystem that google has. Like she uses her calendar and stuff. The closest ive found is proton, which is fine, but it doesnt really have the best rep. Any alternatives?

BTW: im not gonna self-host since im not comfortable hosting such a big thing like this

yeah i was looking for a vpn inside the eu/efta and couldn't find a better alternative so i went with proton and have been very satisfied so far

bought the 2 year package, no regrets. at least not yet. if they sponsor another far right influencer i might have to switch to something else after my subscription ends

for e-mail im gonna do something different tho, dont wanna have all my eggs in one basket. but it's completely fine if some prefer that for the convenience :)

edit: e-mail, not mail
