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 really don’t want to look for an ecosystem, because an ecosystem introduces vendor lock-in that is a fundamental problem with Google to begin with.

      true but it needs to be an ecosystem

      as i said my mom really likes googles ecosystem and if she was to switch then it should also be an ecosystem
