I've been using their email service for several years. Not expensive, reliable. It just works for me. I still own my gmail account, though… Just for a few redirects, particularly for work-related messages (it's been nearly 5 or 6 years since I switched and still, some people don't update my address in their contacts)…

I also have some space on kDrive but I don't use it at all. The application seems nice, kudos, but that's not for me (actually, the 50GB per file limitation is a no-go for me).

Otherwise, I'm a big fan of SwissTransfert. I would love to see a professional plan to send files up to 500GB or more. The few times I need to do something like that, I use Smash.

Well I'm still trying this one. It seems a bit strange to pay to use a search engine… And yet, makes total sense. I've used some other things besides Google: Duckduckgo, SearX, Qwant… But never for very long, strangely. I was always a bit hard to find stuffs, especially for professional movie things. So far, Kagi seems to be doing very well and it's so nice not to deal with the “sponsorised content” crap.

As I own a MacBook and an iPhone, it's easy to use iCloud to synchronise everything. But, I also use it for my calendar, my contacts an my cellphone pictures. In the near future, I would like to use something else for that. In addition, it's always important to remember that iCloud isn't a backup thing. For now, I use hardrives and manual copy. We'll see about that someday, when I have my own system.

I left Spotify for a lot of reasons. But I still listen to music everyday… It's just one of the most important thing for me. I decided to try Qobuz because it's curated, it pays artists well and it's French. So far, beside the cost (a little more expensive than the competition), it's not bad at all. The human made playlists are fine and I no longer have the feeling to give my music appreciation to an algorithm.

That being said, the UI is very poor. There is no way to organize anything and I encountered some bugs along the way. And here comes the real problem of Qobuz: the customer service. A lousy AI interface you have to trick to speak to a real human. And then, it may take a week or two to get a basic answer. I hate to complain and I usually don't… But for a service that claims to be more “human,” I was a little disappointed. Well, at least I know that there is a new app coming up, we'll see about that.

Nevertheless, I kinda miss the days before streaming services… I guess I listened less, but I listened better. Maybe I will cancel my Qobuz as well and just go back to the “old-way”. Well, the “modern-old-way”, cause I think I wanna try Navidrome to setup my own streaming system.
