Hey, My mother is a non-technical person, she’s a sole trader. She has been using Google services for many years and is probably used to them. A few months ago, I was able to convince her to set up an online password manager and calendar (up until now, she had been saving all her passwords in a handy paper calendar).
Should I convince her to withdraw from Google services? If so, how should I do it so as not to put too much pressure on her?
Thanks for all the answers.

ProtonMail had a non removable signature ad at the end of every mail you write (could be a deal breaker), last time I checked.
Good luck trying to have her abandon Google anyway
It’s only for the free tier, and it’s removable, just a little annoying cause you have to do it every time you write a mail.
I envy your patience if it is just a little annoying for you. I could send 2 mail before deleting the account I had just planned to be my new main email account
I agree with you. If I weren’t already paying for other services, I wouldn’t be able to tolerate that.
@ooli @mypasswordis1234 you can’t remove it from your signature but you can remove it when composing an email.
