I’m soon going to transition to full Kubuntu and remove Windows from my PC. I’ve been looking for alternatives to a lot of the stuff I use and this one was a bit problematic. Or so I thought.

I’m also going to migrate from Google to Proton at the same time and it looks like some of these tools support Proton Drive as well!

    It is Google

    It isn’t private in the least. Everything you store there and all you network metadata is being used for targeted advertising and AI training.

      Well yeah. Using Google is a privacy issue.

      Your comment made it sound like it’s a privacy concern that there’s a plug-in in Gnome or KDE or that there are apps that use the Google drive API, which is not the case. It’s not even code that’s developed by Google.

        It is still bad for privacy. You can’t just enter a username and password as you need oauth
