may i ask whats the horror with adwords? email wise whats cumbersome with proton is it tries to upsell me again and again with its add-ons. on google workspace i can say the best advantage is how almost 90% other sites out there supports signing in with google. and it's also cheap at $6 per head, and it doesnt harass you with upsells unlike proton.

Lots of stories about having google account connected to adwords locked out for various reasons, not all valid.

  There's are several third party Google backup services for the paranoid...

    It's not about backups - it's about loss of ongoing use infrastructure

      The backup mitigates the problem because, if you are banned, which only happens to fools and fakes, you can take the backup and set it up on another service. Sure, you lose a couple of days of time migrating, but that's not a reason to avoid choosing a better solution.

        A couple of days migrating can be a 100K+ outage in lost work if you have around 50 employees. And for this estimation, I’m really taking your word that migrating 50 people in an emergency is really going to take only a couple of days, which I honestly don’t believe. Sure, if you get a business account for your solo business, a backup will save you. If you have more people or a non trivial Google setup, the backup recovery is it’s on challenge while you could be working on your business if they didn’t, in this hypothetical but very possible scenario, lock you out of your business tools.
