Zoho has EU data centers hosted by Equinix.

Which hoster are they using? Was looking into this but found it confusing for some reason.

I'm using Zoho with the EU data center. I don't know what hosting sub providers they use for the EU data center. Looks like it's Equinix: https://www.equinix.com/resources/videos/zoho-testimonial

Good for him. He is paying for evil so he gets what he wanted.

Then cancel I guess.

They're also bundling AI with their most expensive tiers. More than likely logging 100% of that revenue towards AI to justify this whole boondoggle.

Google Workspace (GMail, Meet, Calendar Drive, Docs, Sheets, ...) is a popular alternative to MS365 among companies.

Things change.

Ten years ago I joined a newly formed small company. They were all-in on the google suite for everything, and it was great. Gmail, docs, meet, all joined up really well and fully cloud so everyone could work just as easily from home as in the office, with no on-prem hardware or VPNs or anything. It made the work so productive.

But of course enshittification happens, corps get evil, and everything goes down the toilet.

These days I am degoogling as much as possible and would never choose g-suite again, either personally or for business, but 10 years ago for that small business it was a godsend.

Storage on google drive comes to mind. Not that I pay for it, but I know it's something others do.
