Hey all, sorry for an off topic post but I need help from someone more technologically inclined than myself. Honestly there’s no where else on the internet I can stand to be currently.
I’ve seen people post about moving completely off of google- how can I do that? What is the best email service? What should I replace google drive with? Can I have a YouTube account with a non gmail address? Anyone used proton mail? Can I have multiple accounts like I do with google? Is there anything else I’m forgetting as far as privacy?
Thanks for any info!
Protonmail is good. I believe (but you'd have to check to be sure) that you have to have a paid account for multiple mail accounts. There are more moving parts if you want to do more than just have multiple personas. For example, I have a domain for my ham radio account and it is hosted on the site that I have my web site on. To hook protonmail to that I need Protonmail Bridge (which decrypts the PM traffic to/from the ham radio POP account.)
As far as google drive, you could use dropbox or my favorite sink, Evernote. I also have a 10TB drive that I use a free web interface for so that I can link to it as if it were my own personal dropbox. And I can even host/share files on it with others.
Not sure about YT.
