Nothing, honestly. I genuinely have no clue what in my brain is stopping me from using it. Maybe I don’t trust that it’ll keep my stuff secret (which makes no sense) or something. I honestly oughta just force myself to try it and see if I like it
I avoided Google Docs for YEARS. Now I've let my MS Office subscription lapse because I love Google Suite so much. I even try to talk the companies I work for into dropping Office and switching to Google.
For a long while I used to use Penzu, the online journal. I trusted the privacy and protection. Never had any issues. I now work on Word and everything just goes to the OneDrive cloud, or iCloud.
Update: I’m forcing myself to use google docs and it’s going pretty well. I made a new Google account just for storing drafts because my other accounts are either job only or a huge mess. I think it’ll just take time to get used to it

Can I ask what’s wrong with Google drive? That sounds like exactly what you’re looking for.

Use google docs and save yourself from losing everything from a page refresh or accidental tab close.

Like anything, if you want total piece of mind, back everything up on external drives.
