Yeah, google is great if you dont care about your privacy and dont care how much money you spend.
There is absolutely no reason to use google though. For a great experience you have to pay anyway and that you can as well do with someone with someone who hosts nextcloud for you. Added benefit: your data is not harvested and you can expect the terms to stay the same forever.
Bit of a reach, but I agree with your other points
Thanks. But if you work with a small hoster, they wont change the terms on you usually. Most of us understand that this is only „legal“, not morally sound.
True, I guess my experience was moreso “we can legally sell out whenever.”
For a long time I used mediatemple for their affordability, flexibility, and scalability
Then they were acquired by godaddy

Then I used webfaction, for the same reasons. They too were acquired by godaddy

Many of the devs from web faction built opalstack, which I love

But I definitely won’t expect their terms to remain the same forever
