ProtonVPN, Google Drive
Why not proton drive?
I'm not the person you're replying to, but I'm guessing it's for Google Photos storage. It's the reason I pay for Google One.
Proton drive will auto backup photos. Google is the last person I want having all my photos. If its features immich is awesome. Self hosted.
It is not the backup of the photos itself, but the extra features it provides along with it - like grouping of faces / text searching / etc
Immich does this.
Yep!
Google Drive is HaaS, not SaaS. It's a cloud-based hard drive.
It’s basically the same as Dropbox or OneDrive or Box and those are all SaaS.
I would argue that all are HaaS, not SaaS. There is no software you can install that provides disk space.
I suppose we could think of them as subscription-based alternatives to Samba or some other file server software.
Technically the Docs/Sheets/etc suite would be the SaaS portion of the subscription, but Google Drive is usually accessed as a web interface or app, not as a mounted drive so I think it still counts.
