But I'm guessing that the $5 a month isn't getting you a fully managed solution. You're still on the hook if your users have trouble or if you flip a switch that breaks something. Just because you aren't hosting it on prem doesn't mean you get to be hands off.
i think this is what i meant? i dont really know anymore
Ha! Personally, moving my family away from whatever is on their phone for is damn near impossible. So I use Proton for my email, calendar, and passwords. Photos and contacts are on my NAS.
The backend is fully managed. They will run updates for you as well. If you install something funky or delete data or delete users by accident, they have backups for you.
Not a bad deal then!
