I am so glad you put together this information! It never occurred to me that I could get locked out of my Google drive for inappropriate content. That’s where I have been storing and writing my content. I’m changing that today! Thank you!
You are very welcome! I have been obsessed with data privacy and user rights since my library school days. So I try to have an eye ready to learn about this stuff.
If nothing else, it is never a bad idea to keep at least one copy of important stuff on something physical like a hard drive or usb stick.
Yes! That’s a great idea. I’ve lost pictures of my kids that were supposed to be saved in a cloud and it hurt me, so I don’t fully trust cloud services anymore!
I've really loved using Ellipsus recently. It's supposed to rival Docs with ease of collaboration, but I haven't had the opportunity to test drive that feature. I do know that a friend of mine said it experienced a similar lag to Docs with larger projects, but it's still new so I'm hopeful that it will improve.
I've also used Novlr extensively, but that has the disadvantage of being subscription based as well and the subscription is pricey. Every once in awhile I try Scrivener and then I remember why I don't use it that often. Too many options for customization and I get decision paralysis. My spouse absolutely loves it though.
THANK YOU! I loathe Word but must use it for editors. I primarily draft in Google docs because I can go between my devices seamlessly. I’m intrigued by Ulysses after reading this. I’ve never wanted to do Scrivener because I don’t need all the bells and whistles. Thank you so much for sharing this

The Ellipsus team seems like a cool group. I fully admit I am rooting for them to succeed. I haven’t checked out Novlr! I should change that 🤔😁
