I joined Gmail back when the beta had just launched touting a whopping 1GB of storage. I thought this was a massive leap in email technology at the time. I was lucky enough to get an invite code shortly after. Not suprisingly, I have many years of emails, attachments, and photos. I certainly do not want to lose the content of many of these emails.

Despite the redundancy of the data that Google secures, I still feel better retaining a copy of this data on my own physical machines.

I’ve setup Synology’s Cloud Sync and keep copies of most of my cloud data.

The thought of completely de-googling has crossed my mind on occassion. The convenience coupled with my admiration of their engineering has prevented me from doing so thus far. Though, I may end up doing so at some point in the future.
