I am really thinking of switching to Microsoft for all my cloud needs, including email, photos and cloud storage and online office webapps.

I can't trust that company no more.

Dang.

But most of these I can understand why they cancelled them.

Google doesn't make sense. They canned some big projects with a large user base.

You trust MS??! Please pass that to the left, we all need a hit!!

[–] cyborganism@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

I get what you mean, I didn't mean it that way. I trust them in the sense that they make more logical decisions with their products that Google ever will.

Just, be prepared for things to randomly not work a few times a day.

As a developer, interacting with their APIs can be quite painful.... as, things are frequently moving around, or temporarily unavailable.

That's like switching from cholera to plague.

Oh I know all about Foss. I was a Foss evangelist in university.

But some things you can't quite replace.

[–] westyvw@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Curious what that would be... I use neither Google nor Microsoft for personal use and I have an msdn, lol.

I've personally switched to Nextcloud and I'm quite happy with it.

[–] whome@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 year ago

After that Ms master key disaster, that's a bold strategy. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You could try Proton, but I am not aware if they are offering any online office web apps.

[–] hellishharlot@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

You could use proton cloud storage to do 90% of the same thing you just would have to have local editors installed

It's only a matter of time before you the same regarding microsoft. Their services always get worse as time progresses.
