I switched everything away from Google and no longer use any of their services. They have a track record of killing off projects and using the data we upload outside of their expected scope. They are in a weird space where I can't trust them to hold on to my data and I can't trust them to delete it.

I still use Gmail but 90% of the time it's through email aliases... sometime in the future I'm going to switch by changing all my redirections.
frankly though, if the data is that much worth to me, the last place I'd rely keeping it safe is big tech
"B.. but they are Big Tech! If someone knows what are they doing, it's them! They must be the safest choice! Also, it's very convenient, and I have nothing to hide so don't blabber about privacy to me!"
Can't keep it at home either though. The FBI could come in and take all your shit.
FBI storage is free though
