end-to-end encrypted and open-source collaboration suite.
still really early in development but if you primarily work from the browser on a desktop/laptop, it works well enough. I’ve struggled with getting sheets working on a mobile browser but I really like that you could completely self host if you want or just pay them to do it for you.
I quit using Google photos and Google drive recently. I’ve moved to Filen, which is a cloud storage provider based in Germany that offers strong end-to-end encryption. So far it seems pretty great!
Cloud, Calender Sync, Contact Sync and Document Collaboration? I use a Nextcloud Instance provided and managed by my university (who have a contract with Nextcloud, a German Company)
Hetzner and many others sell managed Nextcloud Instances
For the Pictures I use a Photoprism Instance running on a VPS, but for Drop-In solutions you can also use a Plug-in for Nextcloud, or buy a managed instance, like on PikaPods
To be honest that was very over my head, but maybe I’ll do some research on it sometime. I don’t do self hosting so I would be looking for things that don’t need that to work.
I know its intimidating but getting a managed instance of nextcloud somewhere like Hetzner is really straight forward. You wont have to do much if any admin past the initial setup.
But services like Proton are a Swiss alternative to a lot of these cloud services.
Eagerly awaiting European owned competitors to american big tech products

Yeah that’s the thing that stands out so much. That almost everything mainstream is either US or China. Come on rest of the world step up.

That’s good to know, though I wouldn’t know how to do the initial setup either. 😅
You don’t need to selfhost.
Here is one place where they’ll do the hosting for you, and you just use it.
