Google hangouts going away in 20201/30/2024 ![]() I just click the message or email or video or voice buttons. I guess that's really what we all need, to be able to have a front end for contacts, and link in whatever services, and it's all seemless, I don't have to think every time I go in, is this person on Slack or Telegram or Duo or Gmail or Voice. Next time I open them, I can click one button for a voice call, it knows how I prefer to make calls to that person, whether through the cell carrier, or through Voice, or through some other audio calling service. I open the same contact but this time I click the email line below, because I need to send a bunch of images and links and a long explanation. I just need to ask a quick question, so I click on the message box and type and send. Let's say it's a friend, I open up thier contact. My ideal is to have a single point of contact for any person or group. What I mean is, like with Voice, it is a separate system, but integrated into Hangouts it became indistinguishable from Hangouts while still being a technically sperate product. I agree that certain formats are better for certain things, but I still want a unified front end for it all. When Hangouts combined everything to one, including integrating Voice, and combining chat and sms conversations together, it was better. No, it's proven that smashing them together is better. And this compared to O365 where you get 1 TB of storage AND Office 365 products makes Microsoft's way more compelling, especially with its integration with Windows and O365 itself. 100-200 GB is definitely not enough but 2 TB is too many. Frankly, I hated the fact that I need to pay for 2 TB plan. Alot of my email is from Yahoo anyway, forwarded to Gmail since it has better feature sets.Īnd now Google One. Gmail is far more important imo and even then, I am considering to move to Hotmail if somehow Google is tightening the noose more. I am running out of space on my Drive and tbh, since I am already subscribed to O365 plan, there is really not much compelling value for Google Drive over OneDrive for storage and backup. I can flip that soon.įor Drive, tying storage capacity with Gmail too. ![]() Nowadays I just use Google Photos to backup screenshots which is usually pretty non-critical, and backup everything else in Onedrive using Samsung Gallery integration. until it starts charging for "High-quality backup" which it plans in next year or 2. I barely think of YouTube as Google's tbh.įor Google Photos, its great. ![]() RulesĢ) Use Reddiquette (aka don't be a dick).ģ) Submissions regarding individual help should be put in the support megathread.Ĥ) Google search glitches and amusing Google Assistant screenshots will be removed.ĥ) Please don't submit promo codes as a new submission.Īre you a Googler and want verified flair?
