Interesting enough for me, I degoogled around 2005. And just now I have to use their online office tools and mail. Its horrific experience.
(1) gmail is ugly and unproductive- not even possible to attach another mail to an email, seriously?
(2) Calendar - omg, what is this. Its clunky, invites are unreadable and difficult to parse. Want to send a quick note that you are running late? There is no mail integration with the calendar...
(3) Sharing - everyone over shares documents, the UI encourages, sometimes even silently grants powerful permission to others. So people have access to things they shouldn't- this is a real security issue in my opinion.
(4) list goes on...
I really never thought I would miss Microsoft Office, but GSuites really makes me miss Office.
- hnnh44 8y ago1. This is easily done, both on free and gsuite (paid) depending on how you want to implement it. I have multiple Gmail accounts with dozens of emails attached to each. Multiple configuration options. 2. I've never used a calendar outside of Google, and avoid it where possible, but find Google's calendar easy. 3. I think this is a great feature. I use it to collaborate on tons of things, with the understanding that it's not 100% secure, and acting accordingly. Maybe it doesn't suit your particular use case... and that's fine. It doesn't mean it doesn't work great for other uses. ^ all of that considered, I still agree fully with the original article. I've taken a few steps to have working backups and have fallback plans but having an account closed would still be disastrous.
