   It's open source and free, and can integrate with many other services like NextCloud

   If you do move from M$ Office then the learning curve with OnlyOffice is not that steep, as they try to emulate the style of Office. The tabbed interface between different types of usage (word processor, spreadsheet, etc) is pretty cool. While the feature parity with Microsoft not there, OnlyOffice is very capable and (in my view) pretty much on par with Google Docs, as it can also be connected with other cloud storage providers.

   Maybe it used to be but now it's all a paid service. Even for personal use.

   Like Google Docs, Nuclino allows users to collaborate on documents in real time, but instead of getting lost in folders, in Nuclino these documents are structured in a visual and easy-to-navigate way. It's like if every Trello card had its own Google Doc.

   Slite is a great alternative to Google Docs for teams: it allows real time collaboration and the organization is much more team-friendly so that you don't lose information.

    Paper is faster and easier to use than Google docs. Docs becomes very slow to load when dealing with long documents, and that's where Paper really outshines it. Paper does have a comparatively limited feature set, but I think it does include the real necessities and the things it leaves are not really missed for me.

    It's quite well designed, a more modern and lightweight alternative to Google Docs.
