Mine is 100% ChatGPT at the moment

SaaS = Software as a Service (e.g. MullvadVPN)

ProtonVPN, Google Drive

Why not proton drive?

I'm not the person you're replying to, but I'm guessing it's for Google Photos storage. It's the reason I pay for Google One.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Yep!

Proton drive will auto backup photos. Google is the last person I want having all my photos. If its features immich is awesome. Self hosted.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

It is not the backup of the photos itself, but the extra features it provides along with it - like grouping of faces / text searching / etc

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Immich does this.

Google Drive is HaaS, not SaaS. It's a cloud-based hard drive.

Technically the Docs/Sheets/etc suite would be the SaaS portion of the subscription, but Google Drive is usually accessed as a web interface or app, not as a mounted drive so I think it still counts.

It’s basically the same as Dropbox or OneDrive or Box and those are all SaaS.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

I would argue that all are HaaS, not SaaS. There is no software you can install that provides disk space.

I suppose we could think of them as subscription-based alternatives to Samba or some other file server software.
