It took a few months preparation but I deleted all my google accounts today, and it feels good.

Would you be able to let us know the services you used, the replacements, and how did the migration process work?

Proton for email and cloud storage. Graphenos on a pixel 7a for phone. Phone spps from aurora and fdroid. Kagi.com paid search engine too.

Seconded.

Without a single word on replacements for email, calendar, phone, etc... this post is pretty much useless to everyone else than the OP.

I replaced most of that with proton mail and grapheme is which ironically requires a pixel

No sandboxed Google Play services yet? Can be challenging without.

not sure if this helps, but i believe using a separate android profile/user is the same as sandboxing, although less convenient

See above. Plus I use Thunderbird for calendar.

[–] noughtnaut@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Great, thanks!

How does Thunderbird work for you wrt to sharing calendars with others (eg. family) and syncing with eg. an Outlook calendar?

[–] mertn@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I only use Thunderbird calendar for myself so I don't know. Proton includes a calendar offering in their package but I have not tried it yet.
