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
But I’m guessing that the $5 a month isn’t getting you a fully managed solution. You’re still on the hook if your users have trouble or if you flip a switch that breaks something. Just because you aren’t hosting it on prem doesn’t mean you get to be hands off.
i think this is what i meant? i dont really know anymore
The backend is fully managed. They will run updates for you as well. If you install something funky or delete data or delete users by accident, they have backups for you.
Not a bad deal then!
