I am really thinking of switching to Microsoft for all my cloud needs, including email, photos and cloud storage and online office webapps.

I can't trust that company no more.

I get what you mean, I didn't mean it that way. I trust them in the sense that they make more logical decisions with their products that Google ever will.

Dang.

But most of these I can understand why they cancelled them.

Google doesn't make sense. They canned some big projects with a large user base.

Just, be prepared for things to randomly not work a few times a day.

As a developer, interacting with their APIs can be quite painful.... as, things are frequently moving around, or temporarily unavailable.

Yeah surely. But Microsoft really stands by their product. Especially since it's well integrated with Office, their most important software. Yeah that's right, even more than Windows itself.

It's really not. Try using anything but office suite or Google in a corporate environment. Good fucking luck.

I use LibreOffice every day. Never had a problem but I'm also a developer and not a Office Slave.

Yeh, as a helper to the office slaves in IT and also networking it'd be an absolute nightmare to use anything but MsOffice.

Sorry but there isn't any other office suite that beats MS Office.

After that Ms master key disaster, that's a bold strategy. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Oh I know all about Foss. I was a Foss evangelist in university.

But some things you can't quite replace.

I've personally switched to Nextcloud and I'm quite happy with it.

You could try Proton, but I am not aware if they are offering any online office web apps.

You could use proton cloud storage to do 90% of the same thing you just would have to have local editors installed

I don't think so, no.

It's only a matter of time before you the same regarding microsoft. Their services always get worse as time progresses.
