Looking for some Google Workspace alternatives (lemmy.world)

After my private Gmail was leaked somewhere, I've started to receive an enormous amount of spam that came through into my inbox, which made me switch to Proton and a self-hosted SimpleLogin setup.

So I decided, I might as well dirch Google entirely, for private and work-related stuff.

While Proton already covers Mail and Calendar, I'm in search of alternatives for the following services to replace.

  • Meet: I like the idea of starting a quick meeting by simply sending a link to a customer, who can join instantly. What would be an equivalent software to do that? I tried Mattermost, but it seems more like a Slack alternative, with invites, etc. and is overkill for my case. Revolt chat looks like a Discord alternative.
  • Drive: In short, If possible, I'd prefer one consolidated place to access and edit files. Docs, Excel, PDFs, pictures, videos, etc... Is Nextcloud really the only option here, with the corresponding plugins for onlyoffice and memories (photos)? I tried running thst on an intel nuc, and it's slow as hell.

If your "meeting" requirement is just viewing a screen then Rustdesk is super easy. if you want video and audio Webex Teams is great, or jitsi if you want to stay away from cisco.

Yes.. I want to stay away from webex, msteams, etc. as much as possible

Not because of the big-corp, but because the software is just a bloated crap.

Then what you can do for meetings is set up a matrix instance with jitsI integration.

Element and fluffychat apps have direct messageing and chatroom like slack with calling and conference call integration from jitsi. You can essentially have your own MSTeams.

You can email links to external clients that they can just run in the browser also.

It also has screensharing.

If you don't want to self-host, you can also just pay monthly to element and they will host it. That seems pretty easy if you are looking for reliability.
