I'm surprised that I'm asking this because I've been such a fan of Google for years....but does anyone have alternative suggestions for Google products? (
Looking for alternative suggestions for:
1. Google Maps (yikes was it bad when I used it this week)
2. Google Docs (such a frustrating lack of features)
3. Google Drive (it's impossible to find anything when you are sharing docs with someone)
4. Google Search (ChatGPT has spoiled me and I find Google Search to be a large waste of time)
5. Google Classroom (their quizzes/homeworks/forms are unbelievable bad and I can't tell what students can see vs what they can't)
6. Gmail (I've love gmail for so long but with all the other products just being so bad it's making me wonder what else I'm missing something better)
Sorry to sh!t on Google so much, but everything is just so mediocre that I'm tired of it and want something higher quality. Anyone have thoughts?
The email I got says that Album Archive is shutting down, that I accessed it yesterday, and that I should use Google Takeout to export a single photo that I can't access (?). So I got to Google Takeout and I'm told that I have one export remaining. None of this makes any sense. I have never heard of any of these.
I'm really surprised at how bad Google is at making products given how much money they have and the level of skill the people have there. There are so many problem across all of their business and consumer products that I've seen. I can't see what the draw is to keep using their stuff, especially since they are so good at killing stuff off.
