Every time I read about Fastmail, I want to make the jump from Google Apps. However, I don't do it because of Google Drive/Docs/Spreadsheet. Any recommendation for their replacement?!
- veb 12y agoHa. I'm the same, every time I read about them I want to make the jump - but I'm not reliant on any of those, except mail fortunately. I just haven't quite done it yet. From people I've spoken to, everyone praises Fastmail... seems like we all need that extra push.
- alfiedotwtf 12y agoDon't forget there's a 60 day free trial. How's that for a push :)
- sukh 12y agoLess than pleasant first experience. Card failed, reason never communicated clearly enough. Very slow and archaic support.
- aroman 12y agoArchaic?
- sukh 12y agoFax documents and payment information, poorly formatted support replies, supervisor escalation system after a couple different people over 2 weeks couldn't address a simple on-boarding issue.
- feld 12y agoI've had bugs reported, confirmed, and patched in production in less than 48hrs multiple times. Slow?
- argonito 12y agoI know it is not the solution, but maybe it will work for some people. You can sign up for Google account with external e-mail. It gives you everything but mail.
- brerlapn 12y agoI know what you mean. Fastmail sync is definitely superior to Gmail for me, and DAV support may push me over the edge to switch my domain to FM. For Google Docs etc., maybe a private cloud provider that lets you add apps--ownCloud or something like that? I'm not sure if any of them provide apps at the same level of maturity as Google's offerings, but they could work depending on your use cases.
- hsshah 12y agoYeah. I backed sandstorm.io and been closely monitoring it. The day collaboration apps on it closes the usability gap, I will switch.
