I recently dumped my Pixel for an iPhone. Feels dirty, but it’s fine.

I’ve also been following the story of how Google Drive has lost a bunch of customer files and is just closing bug reports and support tickets without offering help, and I’m worried that Google is not an acceptable backup solution because they don’t seem to give a shit about customers… and why would they? They own the world. Fuck mere humans.

Anyhoo, I’m trying to figure out where to move my backups (100GB), my docs (I’d love something where I can do sheets and docs in browsers and mobile apps), and probably my email too, because why not… but I suppose I could do email through proton or skiff or anyhing, but everyone offers it.

I’m currently looking at Zoho as the possible best option. It looks like I could do all three for like $6/mo which seems reasonable. Does anyone use it?

How are the docs and sheets? Is searching email robust? Mobile apps? Does Zoho hate customers as much as Google? Will they eventually?

    I moved to Zoho back when Google decided to screw over people with the custom domains a few years ago. I have Zillum, which is designed for families (~ $70/year for 3 users), but you can also get their business offering for about the same price. Zillum comes with Writer, Sheets, and Show (presentation), and Workdrive (equivalent of GDrive). It also has email for custom domains. The office apps work like you’d expect. Zoho Mail is somewhat different from Gmail, but works fine. I’m perfectly happy using them, and they don’t sell my data to anyone else.
