Gotta ask as well, is switching to a cloud a good step? What tech so I need to do that?

@ben_dw I have dabbled with it. Its very modular. It can do alot. So it depends what you want to do. Could run it on a pi with an external drive attached if you wanted lol. But you wont be serving files to multiple people.
@ben_dw There is a snap package if you want to test it out but I warn you the package devs are stubborn as all hell and will not implement certain features

@ben_dw It an application and all its dependancies packaged into one package and runs in a sandbox. Easy to install basically one click. If you are on ubuntu. Its not apt it is managed with Snappy

@didnt1able
If you don't want to selfhost with pi (its recommended) you can use disroot.org cloud witch uses Nextcloud and has all implementations of it (calendar, contacts, tasks etc). You get 4GB and e-mail witch can use PGP keys for encryption of e-mails. Disroot is legit alternative imo, and GDPR compliant.
@ben_dw

@nikolal @ben_dw That sounds like a great deal for people who don't want to host

@didnt1able
It is, they don't implement their own encryption like Tutanota or Protonmail, but there is IMAP option so you can use Thunderbird for example to do encryption of e-mails with PGP if you are too lazy to do it manually. We can argue now if that if that is better than other e-mail providers which use their own encryption but I'm not expert to judge that.
@ben_dw

@nikolal @ben_dw Personally I let Protonmail host my email. Takes alot of the headache out
