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

You should probably test some of these solutions for just yourself at first.

I know you don't want to make big changes for tour family, but any change at this level will take some adjustment.

The way google has pulled everyone in is by convenience. I learned this the hard way when separating out contacts and calendar from google.
