For me, even without being paranoid on data :

  • Firefox (I use this since WinXP)
  • Thunderbird for my mail (even if it's shit for me)
  • Pi-hole as DNS
  • Windows as OS (ok it's not the good one, but I think I'm protected via Pi-hole, i don't really know)
  • DuckDuckGo for search
  • Mega as a Google Drive

Not perfect and I know it, but i try to limit the amount of data I send.

There are a lot of good suggestions here. Just to add on to it, I have been using Skiff Pages as an alternative fog Google Docs for a while now, and I have been happy with it. They have a better UI and feels less clunkier than CryptPad. They also offer couple of other services such as Drive and email, which you can check out as well.

I use the free version of Proton drive for docs. I don't use it for work and don't tend to keep a huge amount of files around, so it has been enough storage for me. I'll probably get a physical drive to put old stuff on, when/if I need more space. Google still has my photos, though. I definitely plan to put those somewhere physical eventually, just haven't done so just yet.

that's actually exactly what I have rn, just with a physical backup of pics as well
