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.

    Very true, but I like my NAS to be maintenance-free, and Synology delivers on that. Their apps work out of the box and are installed with basically one click. I fiddle with tech enough at my job, I like my private tech to just work.

    Even as a power-user you can do a lot, the synology nas also runs docker, so you can run whatever you’d like on it, not just the synology provided services.

    Expanding the hardware is kind of a pain, even with RAM they are kind of weird and you need some approved (synology-brand) ram, or need to fiddle with some system files to make it accept any ram.

    Also i’d love if they went with zfs instead of their llvm + btrfs.
