This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
They're just too expensive. Like, sure, it costs money to run, but 3.49€/month (the discounted 24 month rate) for the mail only plan, 15 GB storage. (41.88€, $45.17 USD, $67.28 AUD per year)
That's really expensive if you just want mail.
The other stuff, is also really expensive. To the point that makes you think, "there is no way google is making THIS much to make up the difference in advertising to me for a comparable plan".
If you just need an email account I'd suggest to have a look at posteo.de. I am with them for many years now. Price is good and terms also.
You get mailserver capabilities with that tier as well though. You shouldn't be using the plus plan unless you need the email storage or host custom domains and don't want to deal with the admin.
Interesting. I will try to find out if it's 1:1 in handling .docx like OnlyOffice which i hope it is. It sucks that OnlyOffice won't run natively on Wayland.
It is fork of onlyoffice, https://www.onlyoffice.com/blog/2023/07/self-hosted-onlyoffice-docspace
Great, hopefully it is as useful. Surveys and such are a must for any migration.
It's all good but I wish they increase the storage for free tier a bit more
I get the thought process from a market standpoint, but this is a trap we all fall into because the big services subsidize subsidize subsidize to keep you locked in. If you want 15gb free, you sell your privacy. That's the equation, not "service a and b are equivalent except more gbs".
