10 Best Gmail Alternatives 2020

What is Best Alternatives to Gmail for Personal and Business Use? Here are the Best Gmail Alternatives you can use.

Gmail is the most popular email service provider. Gmail is a product of Google, and it has a vast user base. Gmail links your account with its other services such as Google drive, contacts, Google Photos etc. This means that Google can easily access all your data very quickly as it links up most of your essential apps. Google and its Gmail services have been often accused of selling user data to third-parties.

Hence, it is always wise to disintegrate your information and limit the links between those apps to protect your data. There are also certain limitations that Gmail accounts for, such as limited cloud storage.
