I've been using Google Docs for my note taking and have been very happy with it, but the news I've heard about suddenly closed accounts with no recourse for recovery make me skeptic of its long-term viability.


Yeah it's super convenient, I do it too. But like you I'm growing wary of putting all my eggs in one basket especially with how dysfunctional these large tech companies are getting and all the horror stories of account lockouts.

The one thing I'd miss about shifting to a local note taking program is just how easy it is to share / collaborate Google Docs with people. Click one button and there's a URL for it anyone can view or potentially edit, served instantly through their fast servers.
