Looking for some Google Workspace alternatives (lemmy.world)

After my private Gmail was leaked somewhere, I've started to receive an enormous amount of spam that came through into my inbox, which made me switch to Proton and a self-hosted SimpleLogin setup.

So I decided, I might as well dirch Google entirely, for private and work-related stuff.

While Proton already covers Mail and Calendar, I'm in search of alternatives for the following services to replace.

Meet: I like the idea of starting a quick meeting by simply sending a link to a customer, who can join instantly. What would be an equivalent software to do that? I tried Mattermost, but it seems more like a Slack alternative, with invites, etc. and is overkill for my case. Revolt chat looks like a Discord alternative.
Drive: In short, If possible, I'd prefer one consolidated place to access and edit files. Docs, Excel, PDFs, pictures, videos, etc... Is Nextcloud really the only option here, with the corresponding plugins for onlyoffice and memories (photos)? I tried running thst on an intel nuc, and it's slow as hell.

Alternative too has great suggestions to get started.

I'm a bigbluebutton fan, a friend of mine uses whereby and it works great, with absolutely no registration needed. https://alternativeto.net/software/appear-in/about/

Next cloud/own cloud is great

I've migrated to tutanota for email/calendar. I miss Google calendar though.

If your "meeting" requirement is just viewing a screen then Rustdesk is super easy. if you want video and audio Webex Teams is great, or jitsi if you want to stay away from cisco.

As you said, NextCloud is slow, it is also buggy https://lemmy.world/comment/346174. Better hardware won't make it better.

As for suggestions you should checkout FileBrowser as it is fast, reliable and easy to use. An OnlyOffice integration is coming.

To replace meet, https://jitsi.org/. They even have a browser based solution that allows you to create quick meets: https://meet.jit.si/

It involves spending money, but I wonder whether a Synology NAS might suit you rather well? Synology Drive, Synology Photos et al make a pretty respectable replacement for the Googles.
