I don't think he use all those services. If you want storages with like > 1 TB you'll probably want to set up your own NAS and make back ups. Currently I use StartMail, 30GB storage and if you ask my personal list I should say use them for their disposable email service if that is what you're looking for. If you don't bother having disposable emails I suggest go for Tuta/StartMail. Tuta has a friendly userface and 500GB storage, while StartMail has less storage but more options.

I always send encrypted emails to friends and family. For secure communication, I use PGP or services like StartMail that support encrypted email. It’s simple and effective as it ensures only the intended recipient can read the message. When I first started using encryption, I’d share my public key with people directly, and they’d send me encrypted emails using that. Now it's become second nature and I encourage others to do the same. It might seem a bit inconvenient at first, but if more people start using encryption, it’ll become a normal part of email communication.

What would the difference be using email providers outside the 14 eyes country?

Have you already tested it out?

Sounds obvious. Didn't think about that, focused too much on privacy related reasons haha. > markva

I use GoogleStreetMap for GPS, I've replaced Gmail with StartMail and instead of Google Calendar I use TimeTree for now. Might need to find a real privacy related calendar, anyone suggestions?

Why should you have multiple free accounts?

So this means if you want to search for a video on YouTube in a few years, you get AI results and no longer user generated content? So they are stepping away of monetization for creators, because data is much more valuable to them?

Good job! I'm wondering what the statistics are from StartMail their sale, they also having a discount right now. Good to see that incredible increase of 148%!

That's why I am no longer using their services like Gmail and Google Maps. I jumped tot alternatives, much recommended.

I've stepped away from Microsoft. Not my favourite company regarding mailing and chatting.

Tuta's discount is tempting, but I've also seen StartMail doing 50% off lately. Definitely feels like a good time to test a couple out, especially if you care more about UX than just encryption.
