> I use Dropbox instead of Drive and Photos.

For the privacy-conscious, Dropbox is saddled with the same pitfalls as Google and Facebook, unfortunately.

> Google Search is hard to replace because of the quality. Bing is ok but not close in quality.

https://disconnect.me/search used to show Google search results, but it looks like Google has blocked it for the time being.

I personally use https://duckduckgo.com/. The quality of results is definitely below Google, but I believe that'll only improve as more people switch to them.

I agree that Dropbox is nearly same than Google for privacy but it can be a first step to split your data between multiple companies instead of giving all your data to Google.

I know it's totally not perfect, but is it logical?

Yeah, I think that's a fair point, and can certainly be a logical step toward increased privacy.

It's really hard to beat Google Photos and their built in search capabilities. I have Flickr and Amazon Prime, and constantly use Google Photos to find things.

I can type 'Fall Photos' and instantly see all my fall photos taken in the past 5 years.
