I like OpenStreetMap more than Google Maps.

Not really the same thing, but I switched from Google Drive to Syncthing. It's not as secure in terms of "chance of losing your data", but I'm replicating data on my main PC, on my phone and on my RPi Zero and this is good enough for me, at least for now. Ideally I would periodically encrypt and upload every synced folder to the cloud (just because it's encrypted), but that's for another day.

GPhotos->Immich Maps->OsmAnd~ from F-Droid if on Android and Magic Earth on iOS

I switched to Kagi search engine about 3 weeks ago and so far I love it! I'm never going back.

I use an app called Waze for maps, but I don't know if it's dependent on Google api in the background or not.

you can switch from 365 to onlyoffice too

You gotta wait for overture maps alternatives. It is an open map project by the linux foundation, microsoft, tomtom and some other companies. Its main purpose is to provide a competent competitor to google maps since these companies don't want to pay google royalties for their map data. It can also help osm since it is under an open license i think. It is still in alpha though at the time of writing this...

i use ecosia instead of google, i help the planet and it isn't a bad search engine, st least for my use

Search (in order of ease):

1. You.com
2. Qwant.com
3. MetaGer.org

G-Drive is the easiest to replace, there are tons of storage options out there.
Google Docs is trickier, of you depend on the "office in your browser" thing. You can self host that, there are no cool options besides that imho. You can just use LibreOffice and sync via the aforementioned cloud space though

as long as you have gms running in the background with all the permissions it needs, you can disable "every single tracking feature" in vain.

if you don't want google to track you, you have to get google off your phone

I'm surprised not to see https://cryptpad.fr/ here, a FOSS, self-hostable E2EE web based office suite. Not as feature rich as GDocs but offers the basics in a more secure manner.

Proton mail have a cloud storage facility. It is limited amount without a paid subscription though.

Maybe take a look at Skiff. I’ve just started using it, but it reminds me of a combination between docs and Notion.

+1 for nextcloud but it does kind of point you down the whole self-hosted rabbithole, which is out of scope for most people who just want privacy

Anything office related from Nextcloud isncrapcas hell though

Proton is great for leaving the Google sphere of products. Such similar products. I even hooked a domain up to mine by chance i ever switch mail provider i can use the same address.

@kworpy @kirua duckduckgo? Wasn't this a time ago grabbing info from their search engine and providing it to Microsoft without our concent? So they are suggesting microsoft products also on that list.... Sorry but duckduck go for me its NO!!!!
