I'm new to this idea and a Google girl so I'm interested in learning more. I'm not good with tech, but if it's necessary I'll do it as much as I can.

Moving away from US based/owned/managed services. But it takes times. Email and photos are the Hardest for me. Email because of all the account integrations and many accounts where you just can't change your email address and photos as it requires all people involved in shared albums to migrate with me.

Moving email is hard indeed.

The easiest way forward is to get your own domain, it's about 10EUR a year, but that doesn't help retroactively.

Yes. That's what I did. I don't want to experience this again once I'm done
