Ask HN: Alternatives to Google suite

2 pointsmarkwillis828 years ago2 comments

So as a part of trying to be more "private" online. I have started moving away from Google and Microsoft.

Currently I've moved email to Fastmail instead of gmail but am stuck on an online suite for file editing and to use DuckDuckGo for search.

My current sticking point is for online file editing (a replacement for Google Sheets/Docs/etc), an obvious choice would be office 365 but am aware that's not much better in terms of privacy than Google.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Nextcloud combined with collabora code is a pretty good office suite. I have been using it for a couple months now. Nextcloud also offers several other apps that intersect googles offerings.

I don't think that Libre office offers online file editing, but you could use it anyways and upload to some kind of dropbox you could access from anywhere.
