Moving away from US cloud services by Martijn Hols

Relying on US cloud services poses legal and political risks for EU users, so I'm moving away from US cloud services. Here's how and why I did it.

    More and more, I think the best replacement for a cloud drive is just Syncthing.

    I went through the list and wrote what I use to replace it.

    • Microsoft Office 365
      – Mail -> Tuta
      – Calendar -> I don’t use a calendar, but Tuta would be my option
      – OneDrive -> I still use OneDrive, but I’m also using Filen.io and Syncthing
      – Documents* -> ONLYOFFICE (Documents)
    • Bitwarden -> KeePassXC and Keepass2Android
    • GitHub -> I still use GitHub…
    • Google search -> SearXNG with several search engines

    *Documents weren’t listed or mentioned since they’re not cloud services, but I think it’s worth talking about. I’m just using ONLYOFFICE and syncing everything with Filen.io and Syncthing.

      Re: OnlyOffice - It’s a Russian product with a Russian version named after the first nuclear ICBM: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/39638530

      Instead, I’d recommend LibreOffice or CryptPad.

        Yeah, I’ve heard of that… Isn’t CryptPad just an online wrapper of ONLYOFFICE?

        But yeah, thing is LibreOffice is… Worse. I do have it installed though, and I use it occasionally. I’ll try and use it more.

          Haven’t heard that, nor looked into it, to be honest.

            Well, when I open a new document on CryptPad, it opens a web-version of ONLYOFFICE so…

              That’s disappointing.

                I didn’t realize until this thread because the only instance I had looked at was https://cryptpad.disroot.org/ , which doesn’t seem to have updated to the OnlyOffice version of CryptPad.

      Syncthing is great, and if you need ‘central’ storage that’s always on just throw it on a server too.

    I don’t think proton drive is functional enough to replace onedrive… And you can self-host Vaultwarden so is it really a thing to ditch bitwarden? And most importantly Startpage’s result is “surprisingly accurate” because they crawl from google results. The author doesn’t even investigate to find this thing
