As a small business we use Google Suite. We would need a single solution which provides all these: - Email (unlimited domains, unlimited addresses) - Drive (Docs, sheets, forms) - Photos (this is where we also store out private photos 2Tb+; also, auto-sync is a lifesaver) - Calendar

Any alternative which is as affordable as Google? How about Zoho?

We are also on GSuite (Workspace now?). I am currently considering moving everything to Office 365. However I am not sure about the photos part.

  • Honestly, Office 365 sounds good, but we are a Linux & Mac only business. Can't imagine using MS products... Or will that not matter at all? :)

    • MS software for the mac is pretty decent - Excel alone is likely worth it to any org. Linux users can access the web versions, which are now pretty powerful. And if you are a Slack user you can move to Teams (which is now fairly good) and drop that subscription.

      I hate to say this, but MS really have their act together on "office in the web age".

A hosted Nextcloud with OnlyOffice/Collabora and a Mail Server? There's quite a few providers for that.

  • Yes, I did consider this option. The only issue is the Mail Server. It has to be secure & maintained. + SSO for all services would be ideal.

    • Consider cloudron if you want an easy to maintain mail server. It works really well.
