By reading about the new inclementations on Google I decided to leave from Google services entirely, already stoping using Windows for 6 month and Chrome, but sttil dont sure about a gmail(Some important things are signed in gmail accont) and some services like Youtube and some android telemetry(already rooted)
IMO switch away from services as fast as you’re comfortable with - it’s not all or nothing. Switch the easy ones now, and build escape plans for the rest. Small steppy is better than no steppy.
This 100%. It’s also worth looking at https://www.privacyguides.org/en/basics/common-misconceptions/#complicated-is-better
Don’t be obsessive about “degoogling” to the point where you pick worser alternatives that don’t have the features you require. Always test something out before doing a mass migration of “all your email” for example.
Totally agree with this. I started with Gmail and calendar and then gradually continued with Gdrive and Gphotos. My browser has always been Firefox, so no problem there. My next step is owning a Google-free phone (keeping an eye on https://tuxphones.com/). The only thing that I can not get rid of is Google Maps. It works so damn good!
What do you use for a GDrive alternative?
And for a better GMaps alternative, try OpenStreetMap
As mentioned self-hosted Nextcloud is an option but as my ability to keep things from breaking is really limited which is a big reason why I use the cloud, I am moving on Sync. Other cloud services people often recommend are NordLocker and Tresorit.
Nordlocker is neither open source nor has it been audited. Tresorit at least has audits.
NordLocker was part of Nord Security external ISO27001 audit in 2022. Of course, being closed-source software you can’t really know security fully. The biggest concern seems however to be the encryption model they use in addition to being closed source. However, for example, hosting my own cloud service while most secure really isn’t the option that would answer the reason I use cloud service.
I am not saying use it. I am saying it often gets recommended. I really do think people should do their own research on if things are best fit for them. I am having a huge issue finding actually secure solutions that are not self-hosted and FOSS or at least open source. Nextcloud which is fully hosted by service or on your own bought server space has some concerns as well.
