Google do have great stuff - but it's (mostly) free and when it's free, you're not the user, you're the product! It's a balance. I use Google Calendar because: 1) It's bloody good - way better than Hoarde etc al. 2) I do not have much I call sensitive going in it. But I run my own email and file servers because: 1) Both have sensitive data; 2) Email is handled *exactly* as well with exim+dovecot as Gmail can manage (because there's not shortage of email clients for any platform). However, as what started this thread, the file servers do have a problem because there is (as yet) no network server/cleint app combo that is as nice on a semi connected device as Google Drive, Dropbox and several others. Regarding the apps being able to do random stuff: 1) There is a strong case of "Caveat Userus" - User Beware. The system confirms wiht you if it is OK for an app to do X Y and Z - but you get sod all choice. A better model would have been: You get to tick the boxes you want. If it blows the app up, fair enough. One example - I will not use the official Facebook app since it started asking to use the microphone - bloody cheeky bunch of bastards. 2) But *most* of the time, it works OK. 3) But occasionally, like with unofficial apps and SnapChat, the users got burned as their naked butts and danglies got slapped all over the Internet. I tend to manage by staying in the 1+2 zone, but 3 IS quite worrying as it could be my kids. It's hard to stay on top of everything.
