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.

Man I could never actually get it working well (and reliably) enough to use on my rpi.

What method did you use to deploy it? Did you try this one https://github.com/nextcloud/all-in-one

I've tried it both ways, the all in one seemed to do alright but I didn't realize I needed the "login" info from that initial stage later so I 100% boned myself there lol. It never worked right again, I'm sure due to some lingering files I couldn't find.

I'm fiddling with all my drives to dual boot anyways, maybe I'll give it another go.
