After my private Gmail was leaked somewhere, I’ve started to receive an enormous amount of spam that came through into my inbox, which made me switch to Proton and a self-hosted SimpleLogin setup.

So I decided, I might as well dirch Google entirely, for private and work-related stuff.

While Proton already covers Mail and Calendar, I’m in search of alternatives for the following services to replace.

  • Meet: I like the idea of starting a quick meeting by simply sending a link to a customer, who can join instantly. What would be an equivalent software to do that? I tried Mattermost, but it seems more like a Slack alternative, with invites, etc. and is overkill for my case. Revolt chat looks like a Discord alternative.
  • Drive: In short, If possible, I’d prefer one consolidated place to access and edit files. Docs, Excel, PDFs, pictures, videos, etc… Is Nextcloud really the only option here, with the corresponding plugins for onlyoffice and memories (photos)? I tried running thst on an intel nuc, and it’s slow as hell.

      Filebrowser looks even nicer than cryptopad, and I think folders could probably be symlinked to immich, etc.

      Will definitely keep an eye on it. Thx

      Edit: Oh, just saw it’s web-only :-(

        Yes they can. I’ve been doing that for a long time. If you combine with Syncthing and Samba (for iOS) you also get a very nice cloud solution.

        Isn’t cryptopad web as well? lol

          I don’t know much about cryptpad. Someone just mentioned it, and I hoped it had an app as well… lol

            They don’t. Web only and considerable heavier and harder to get running than FileBrowser.

            Can I use CryptPad on mobile? CryptPad is engineered to work as well as possible on small screens. Depending on your device performance it should be possible to use CryptPad on mobile. Work to make CryptPad more responsive was undertaken in 2020, if you notice areas that need improvement in this regard, please contact Support or submit an issue on Github.
