Murena – European cloud storage
French company offering /e/OS, a de-Googled Android operating system, and Murena Cloud, a privacy-respecting alternative to Google Workspace. Founded by Gaël Duval, creator of Mandrake Linux. Phones shipped with zero Google services. EU-hosted cloud.
Quick facts
Phones ship with zero Google services baked in from the factory, not just Google apps removed afterward, and the bundled Murena Cloud gives you mail, calendar and drive without touching a Google account at all.
App compatibility can be patchy since some Android apps expect Google Play Services to be present, and the phone hardware selection is far more limited than mainstream Android brands.
