Hi, I’m in a quandary about choosing between NextCloud and Microsoft 365 basic for personal usage.

I like the idea of sovereignty over my data in NextCloud and that it is based in Europe (as am I). In my case I’d be opting for hosted NextCloud (possibly with TheGoodCloud https://thegood.cloud/ ). For around €2 per month (annual payment) I’d get 10Gb of storage with the basic office type apps . However I’d still have to opt for an email service which is an extra cost , say another €20 or so. Apart from using NextCloud web interface as a Mail client the email wouldn’t otherwise be integrated into NextCloud - I’d also have to get an Android app for calendar etc.

With Microsoft 365 basic for approx the same €2 per month I get adfree email , 100Gb storage, all products integrated into one interface , Android and iOS apps included and also some additional security . Also I’m not sure how secure NextCloud is and certainly it is hard to imagine that TheGoodCloud/Nextcloud having the same resources available to them as would Microsoft ?

I do appreciate the privacy aspect but on the other hand Microsoft are legally bound to observing GDPR. Can anybody help convince me that NextCloud is the better option ?

So I'm a bit confused about which YubiKey I should be considering . I've tried the Yubico site's guide but I'm still unclear. I want to be able to it use with various computers but also with an iPad ( USB C) and Android phone. AM I correct in thinking that:

1. If I go for a USB based YubiKey I'd need USB A for older computers and a different USB C key for phone an tablet ?
2. A USB A YubiKey with NFC though could be used on all three (USB A for computer and NFC for the iPad and phone ) ?

Thanks in advance for any help.

I wanted to check the status of my mailbox sub as I believe it is in the 30 day period after which it would be deleted. However my phone with the 2FA app has broken an although I have reverted to an older phone the 2FA app on it predates my mailbox sub by a month or two. Now I can’t get into mailbox to contact support- is there any other alternative?
