Unfortunately, GSuite seems to be the way for it. I already have my company mail at GSuite so I've got lots of storage but well I think I should start looking into other options as well. Maybe Zoho Mail for emails and Mega.nz for cloud storage. But guess we'll see about that given Google does provide extensive support for GSuite so it shouldn't be as big of a problem as it is for the normal accounts. Most of all, for my personal account which is the one normally signed in everywhere, I'm switching it totally to iCloud with some parts still on Google however none of them being the ones I'm too reliant on.

Fair point.

My current setup for email storage is three fold:

* Fastmail's servers (30GB included).

* Local laptop. I have imap setup to automatically grab new emails, which are stored in a local email client.

* Automatic backups to s3. I automatically backup all "core data" folders on my laptop to s3 every afternoon.

I also backup everything on my local laptop to an external HDD every month.
