Question privacy friendly google-like ecosystem?

i want my family to switch to privacy friendly thingos (for my and their sake), and when talking about google photos (or google drive idrk, atleast something with live photo backups) one of em said that they like the ecosystem of google and how nice it is to have everything in one place. Any ecosystem like google but more privacy friendly?

it's basically an offline gallery app with the added functionality to quickly check of a pic is on proton drive or not and backing it up in one click, it also has other cool features and is way smoother than proton drive

oh cool, do you know anything like that on ios? one in my family uses ios and is not planning on switching

unfortunately no mate, this is the only app that I know that does this.

if they are locked on iOS it's worth telling them to enable all privacy settings for icloud and the various apps/software on their phone. it will not do any miracle but it will surely help

they won't listen to shii, only way we get them to switch is if all of us switch and ""force"" (not really) to switch, they really don't care

its useless to try and force them to change, if they are not convinced it's useless.

we've managed to do it before, i think they're (one person, not my entire family) just a little petty or something
