    I’m very ensconced in Googles environment. I stopped using google for searching, and I disabled every single tracking feature I could find in Google Maps, and my Android phone.

    But I rely on gmail, google docs, task, and G-Drive a ton. I see some great suggestions here for Gmail replacements, but what about replacements for Google Docs and G-Drive?

      G-Drive is the easiest to replace, there are tons of storage options out there.
      Google Docs is trickier, of you depend on the “office in your browser” thing. You can self host that, there are no cool options besides that imho. You can just use LibreOffice and sync via the aforementioned cloud space though

      as long as you have gms running in the background with all the permissions it needs, you can disable “every single tracking feature” in vain.

      if you don’t want google to track you, you have to get google off your phone

      I’m surprised not to see https://cryptpad.fr/ here, a FOSS, self-hostable E2EE web based office suite. Not as feature rich as GDocs but offers the basics in a more secure manner.

      Proton mail have a cloud storage facility. It is limited amount without a paid subscription though.

      Maybe take a look at Skiff. I’ve just started using it, but it reminds me of a combination between docs and Notion.
