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.

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.

The level of truth this is hurts me to my core.

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.

Man I stop using office back in 2000.

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

But some things you can't quite replace.

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

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

[-] gunpachi@lemmings.world 3 points 2 years ago

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

[-] hellishharlot@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago

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

[-] cyborganism@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

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.
