Hello lemmy!! I want to degoogle but have a few issues. My main Google uses are drive and docs. Both of which are primarily for school reasons. I need access to easy cloud saved document editing for school. And drive for saving notes and PowerPoint etc. My school offers office 365 but I would rather not go from one shit stain to another.

I login from many computers to work so I need something cloud base unfortunately

    This might be unpopular here, but if you're still quite young, and will be in school for a while, it might be worth switching to Office, but using a second email address.

    I've got nieces and nephews going through school in the UK, and they've found that Office is more closely integrated as they get older. It's little things like files sent in Office's 'open' file format, so the layout is slightly off in other programs. It can be worked around, but it's extra work.

    Using a second email address should mean that you can isolate it from your non school activities, usually by having a separate profile on your devices. You should be able to lock the profile down too, like not allowing location access.

    Might be worth thinking about. Either way, good luck :)

      Thanks for the suggestion! Only have two more years left in my rad tech program. I'm down to use office, just wanted to see if some easier open source options exists.

        No worries, good luck with the course :)

        P.S. I was disappointed to learn that rad tech has nothing to do with early 90's computers ;)
