Google is moving more and more utilities to Play Services, which is not open source. Play Services is not only about Google-related services, it is also about OAuth for instance. Unknowing developers rely on Play Services, making their apps incompatible with pure-Android devices.
Yes, with Anki you can memorize stuff much more efficiently, for long-term. Available for Linux, Mac, Windows, Android (AnkiDroid), iOS (Anki Mobile). You can easily sync between devices. All open source except for iOS.
If your company/country wants to create its own private cloud storage, here is the fast way:
1) Set up an Alfresco server on Linux. Enterprise-class, scalable, very customizable. 2) Have users install CmisSync, it looks like a Dropbox client, but syncs with Alfresco (or any other CMIS-compliant server).
Lightweight: no UI apart from the status bar icon, which develops into a menu that shows recent items (optionally in sub-menus). Click on an item to open it in your browser.
The BnF (French National Library) has started doing this in 2006 for a selection of.fr websites. In 2011 they had 16.5*10^9 files. They store content on "Petaboxes" made by the Internet Archive.
Anki has free flashcards about any topic you can imagine. Open source runs on Linux, Mac, Windows, Android, Blackberry, web. A session is 10 minutes by default, but you can change it to 1 minute. I use it even when I know I only have 20 seconds (ex: queueing) http://ankisrs.net/

Play Services is not only about Google-related services, it is also about OAuth for instance.
Unknowing developers rely on Play Services, making their apps incompatible with pure-Android devices.
To solve this problem, an Open Source implementation of Google Play Services is being developed:

SharePoint has a vastly superior alternative called Alfresco.
SharePoint is slow, limited and does not respect standards like CMIS: http://cmissync.org/CmisCompat...
If you are looking for an app, ask at http://softwarerecs.stackexcha...
People there will search for apps that fit your particular requirements (features, OS, license, etc).
It is also a good way to find new project ideas, just look at the app requests that have no fit yet: http://softwarerecs.stackexcha...

Yes, ZIM is the best format for this, easy to use on Android too. Full-text search.
And everyone's phone should have Wikivoyage, whole world travel guide in ~1GB (ZIM or HTML files).
Some friendly users translated my free (open source) app to Simplified Chinese.
Where should I upload the APK to reach most of the Chinese market? What 2-3 app markets are the most popular in China? Thanks a lot!

Not a cloud service, but this can help Ubuntu users:
