Ask HN: Google support is the worst, good alternatives to G-Suite?

Email there is protonmail,Zoho mail and a few others
Gdrive - onedrive, Dropbox, etc
Gsutie - office 365, Zoho
If you want an integrated solution, then it's office 365.
Zoho is ok to start with, but there is not depth in their gsuite and email products. It feels like they have a minimal team on it

Office online (forget the brand name right now) is excellent software with excellent service.
The only other advanced web email/office suite that I know of is Zoho, which I've never used and can't comment on.

Question, does Office online integrate into Azure user management like Gsuite does with GCP?
Yes, users on Office 365 Admin are the same users as on Azure AD.
Thanks, that's actually probably the way to go. Great value for money.
Status update: so far we're looking at using hey.com for email ($12/u/m) and Microsoft OneDrive for storage (5/u/m). For the two of us (plus an extra email), that makes a grand total of $46/m, which is actually ~$7 cheaper than what we were paying for G Suite anyway haha.
The other day we got notified that our Google Ads account had been suspended, citing "circumventing systems policy". We have no idea what this means (beyond reading the generic description that's vague and broad) and to our knowledge we have not violated anything. Google Support over email will (of course) not tell us what in particular is in violation, and when we try to call support the system says "you're banned" and hangs up.
To be honest, we've of course heard stories like this in the past, but kinda like Gell-Mann amnesia, you forget as soon as you're done reading – until it happens to you.
Given this experience, we've decided to move away from all Google products as they don't seem to want our money. Luckily, the only other thing we're currently using is G Suite (for email hosting and G Drive). Anyone have good alternatives for a small startup with currently only two employees?
Thanks!
