Imho a decision that doesn’t make sense, Google already has paid for all the infrastructure so running the service to them is pure profit, not to mention the lost possibility to upsell Google workspace (paid gmail with a custom domain) or Google cloud services to all their customers.

Although I would never subscribe to something from Google for my business, then when they eventually change mind and kill my product, i have to migrate in an hurry. I’ve been hurted too many times

    No Google service can last. I’ve come to the point where I no longer trust any new product they put out.

      Yeah, I need to switch to another authenticator app because I’m not sure I even trust that at this point.

      Edit: love this community, say I’m looking to switch and I get a plethora of suggestions within the hour lol

        Same here. The only problem with protonmail is that there is almost no option to use standard clients. For mail you have protonmail bridge which is pain in the ass but better than nothing. Calendar and storage is practically useless if you are not able to integrate it to the standard phone app or desktop client.
        But I understand that this is the price for encryption.
