  Thank you but no. The announcement of Gsuite free offering ending has finally pushed me over the edge. Six months ago I started playing with Nextcloud and when this Gsuite news broke, I finally migrated all emails, contacts, calendars, files... for the whole family and moved everyone to Nextcloud. On some phones I even removed the Google account completely. I use the Simple apps and DAVx, plus Fdroid for other apps. No more free data siphoning so easily to G. I hope more people do this and I wish them luck in their de-googling.
