LibreOffice

Hmm, but the above post clearly states:
> ...but I cannot switch from Google's gmail, docs and drive to anything.
Is me offering workable alternatives counterproductive or unhelpful? The fact that the software is free and open source is just a nice boon to have and something to mention in my eyes.
Here are the links for the aforementioned software so that anyone may attempt to switch to said software, if they so desire.
Thunderbird: https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/
LibreOffice: https://www.libreoffice.org/
Nextcloud: https://nextcloud.com/
(the latter needs a server, much like Google Drive does, have a look here for a non-self hosted option if that seems like a hassle: https://nextcloud.com/providers/)

> I think for the original poster complaining about not being able to switch was because of integration between the different tools which they find too useful to forego.
Ohh, that's a good point, something that i didn't consider in detail!
The closest that i've seen would be OnlyOffice integration (https://nextcloud.com/onlyoffice/) and the mail app (https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/mail) for Nextcloud, but neither are as polished as living within either Google's or Microsoft's walled garden would be.
In that regard, perhaps i'm just old fashioned, preferring to use my local file system as the intermediary, though the cloud oriented way of interfacing with software probably shouldn't be discounted either!
