What are people using in place of Google docs/sheets/etc? I’m looking for a simple program that syncs with the cloud so I can access my documents on my different computers or my Android phone. I run Windows 10 (don’t crucify me). I use libre office for things that can stay on one computer, but for things like school notes, budgeting spreadsheets, or certain reference sheets I’ve created for work I need to be able to access on my different devices or log in on a web browser and easily have the changes sync. I’m constantly on the go and logging into different devices between work and school and while I want to de-google I’ve just found the convenience of the google suite has kept me saving non-confidential stuff with them. With some minor searching I found Cryptpad, has anyone used that, or can anyone recommend anything else?

I don’t do anything crazy, for docs its mostly just typing and basic formatting, importing pictures into my school notes, very simple tables, etc. With Sheets I just use basic math functions to balance my bank accounts and keep my budget on track, so I don’t need anything advanced, it just needs to work and sync with the cloud. I don’t even care if I have to pay a few bucks for it if it’s worthwhile.

    People won’t like this but for ease of use just use google drive or whatever Microsoft’s cloud storage is called these days. You can password protect your libreoffice documents for protection from the crawlers.
