I can't imagine depending on Google to store anything. They shouldn't be able to even see what links you save.

As someone who just converted from Chrome to Firefox 1-2 months ago: what alternative can you recommend to Google Drive? I wouldn't miss everything from it, but being able to easily share data (so that they can play videos, audio files or documents without having to manually download them) is one of them.

EDIT: and maybe Google Photos. Mainly for syncing.

Mega.io created by Kim Dotcom is (mostly) open source.

Proton drive gives a lot less storage for free but is known to be more secure and private
