Hello! I would like to take some distance from Google because I don't like its hegemony over the internet. I've switched from chrome to Firefox, I've stopped using it as a search engine and I've started using duckduckgo for starters, but I'm a bit more lost on how to replace its other services. What are yours alternatives to Google? I've heard about proton mail to replacement Gmail, how is it? Do you know something to replace maps and drive?

Thanks for the detailed reply! I'll probably look into building a Nas with a raspberry pi then, sounds doable. I'm sure it's more annoying than using a cloud service in the beginning, but I agree that is absolutely better. A quote always stuck with me: "a cloud service is simply another guy's computer" and I would rather struggle a bit in the beginning rather than giving my personal photos/files to a stranger. Plus, I can probably make my NAS as big as I want.
