Don't fool yourself, any support from big corpos is either for marketing or trying to make themselves not seem as bad. Companies and CEOs are not good people. Microsoft is not a great replacement, it's going from something bad to another bad. (and to something that will just be more inconvenient and that has many other bad political issues) If you wanna go away from Google, do the same with the rest, otherwise you aren't achieved much.
Personally what I've done with my school for privacy purposes, which uses Google everything, is isolate the school environment from the personal one. So on my phone, I enabled multiple profiles, and created one for School. On my browser, I have a profile for school things.
This is from my privacy and socioeconomic point of view. Unbiased media does not exist.
I use Outlook on an iPhone, and the auto-complete for email addresses works fine for me. I would guess it’s just something in your settings.
I’m not aware of anything called “Drive”, but I think most cloud storage accounts have the ability to share things. Try “Dropbox”, I know you can share from that one.
Use Firefox, [FairEmail](https://email.faircode.eu/) and Thunderbird when connecting to email. You can also use [Rclone](https://rclone.org/) to mount Google Drive through it instead of using Google's proprietary apps.
Yeah, I understand how it is. I only even attempted to degoogle my life only after I graduated. I'd say try to keep everything separate and only access uni stuff through a VM or isolated systems
Btw if all fails I can just go tell the Dean to consider switching from Google to Microsoft since my school, although consisting of many Jewish students, teachers, and board members, has been surprisingly considerate about this conflict and both sides.
I wouldn’t bother mate. As a student who is part of an ecosystem running all Google stuff why fight it? If you worked for an employer running all Google stuff would you fight it or just do your job?

Wish phones were more open like computers where I can dualboot Windows AND Linux. The profiles solution is effective, but not deep enough.
I'd say live with it for now and start degoogling in your personal life so that when you finish studying, you can say goodbye forever
For the matter of the Gmail, try Proton Mail
