I’d love to find good non-American-owned alternatives to Adobe Acrobat, Google Docs, etc… love this idea of a comprehensive list
Can we get a comprehensive list of alternatives to American-owned stuff going?
To add to this:
- I'm currently investigating BookVault as an alternative to KDP for print books. They're in England, and they also integrate with Payhip.

I know of some!
- Sync is Canadian and a great alternative to Dropbox or Google Drive.
- For book distribution, Payhip is in England.

This year I had the honour of creating a holiday card for Ronald McDonald House® Toronto. More than just a place to stay, it’s where families stay strong together when a child is seriously ill. RMHT wanted to highlight their team of amazing therapy dogs 🩵🐶🎄
