I have been using Skiff for about a year or so and was only satisfied with their email which can forward your Gmail emails and have aliases for free, the calendar app didn't notify me so it was useless but now it does and it works very well, I could also import my Tutanota calendar very easily. The drive has 10gb for free and can now download all your Google drive in one click and you can use IPFS as storage, this company is really making it easy to get out of Google with a smile.

What do you all think about it ?

For those who think it is an AD, it isn't. I just like Skiff so I made a post about it to see what people from the privacy sub think of it, clearly and without much explanation most of you don't like it. I genuinely thought it was a good company, now I am not sure anymore without knowing why. I would have loved more explainations about why is it so bad.

with a quick look at their website we can have a taste of how much they care about privacy. Their website is connecting to various third party domains:

matomo: an invasive analytics software
sanity.io: which I didn't know, but from their homepage "Treat content as data" doesn't sound good.

and that's just by viewing their homepage connections.

I'm sure there are more problems, but I don't want to invest more time in a random sketchy company when just in their homepage have demonstrated how little they care of privacy.

By reading other comments, their email doesn't support email clients, which is a huge issue.
