Fleeing Google services: present even on the clipboard
Google offers all its services through Android. It is logical: it is their system and it takes advantage of it to put tools that users are going to use and with which they are going to have fun. However, this can make some uncomfortable people uncomfortable. Relying a lot on a single entity can make it have a lot of power over our data, which in turn leads to not wanting to depend on that entity.
So you can choose to start disabling Google services little by little so as not to depend on them. However, one day you may have deactivated, for example, Google Drive. And it turns out that you want to share something to the clipboard to have it copied and be able to paste it. The surprise comes when you can't see the option to share files on Google DriveEither on the clipboard or heavy files. Is it lost forever then? Can it be recovered?
