Most of us in Lemmy know the importance of privacy and owning your devices in a big tech owned world (me included) but for once I thought to make the opposite question and ask if there are products by them that you actually use and enjoy them.

Important to say, I mean products you use even though there are alternatives, not monopolies like YouTube.

    Google drive, sadly.

    It’s mainly because it’s the single most supported “cloud” service. You can almost guarantee that any ap or program is going to be able to use it without jumping through hoops, and that’s vital when you need quick, reliable off site storage.

    Out here in the country, I might have seconds to back up what I’m working on if weather gets crazy fast. It isn’t often, and even rarer that it would also cause problems with my own storage too, but I’ve lost an entire almost finished novel to a lightning strike before, so I’m a tad paranoid.
