After my private Gmail was leaked somewhere, I’ve started to receive an enormous amount of spam that came through into my inbox, which made me switch to Proton and a self-hosted SimpleLogin setup.
So I decided, I might as well dirch Google entirely, for private and work-related stuff.
While Proton already covers Mail and Calendar, I’m in search of alternatives for the following services to replace.
Meet: I like the idea of starting a quick meeting by simply sending a link to a customer, who can join instantly. What would be an equivalent software to do that? I tried Mattermost, but it seems more like a Slack alternative, with invites, etc. and is overkill for my case. Revolt chat looks like a Discord alternative.
Drive: In short, If possible, I’d prefer one consolidated place to access and edit files. Docs, Excel, PDFs, pictures, videos, etc… Is Nextcloud really the only option here, with the corresponding plugins for onlyoffice and memories (photos)? I tried running thst on an intel nuc, and it’s slow as hell.
So your complaints are mostly about the mail app? Because I have not tried that yet, mail is something I have not yet moved away from iCloud…
I think, we are not at 1 Tb data in NC yet, will remember what you said when we reach that and everything is on fire 😅
What do you use for working simultaneously on the same file at the same time, if may ask, I’m interested in learning more about NC alternatives.

No, their UI is horribly slow and if you just open your browser console you’ll see it spitting errors unlike anything else you’ve ever seen.

FileBrowser with the OnlyOffice server, gets the job done without much fuzz. Official integration is coming but there’s a fork by the same guy with the PR open that works just fine. js.wiki and/or getoutline.com might work for some situations.

Well to be fair it might be as reliable as iCloud…
