I think of Mozilla as a free and open source Google.
I think so. I didn't mention it because Mozilla is not really known for mere mortals (non geeks). But Mozilla is a great inspiration for me (their privacy first designs...)
Gave it a quick try and looks like very similar to cozy before they pivoted. I guess this is also like nextcloud/owncloud/seafile. Can you explain how your product will be different from those?
I'm not aware of cozy's story, but Bloom's goal is not to stay a nth productivity self hosted Cloud.
We have a different offering (like Bitflow) and our goal is to bring open source to far more domains like agriculture, architecture.
Our goal is to have like Google (therefore the title) an app for all the needs of our life. But open source.
Any plans to use capabilities and Cap'n'Proto like SandStorm.io?
About Cap'n'Proto what benefits does it brings, and what are the trade-offs ?
I don't know if it is intentional or not, but the Bloom logo is an almost exact copy of Google Drive's.
Wouldn't "G Suite" be more descriptive than "Google"? Putting it in quotes kind of makes you think you're not referring to the search engine, but still... However that may be I love the mission, awesome work!

Earlier quoted context omitted.
can you give me more details? Maybe 3 points about how to solve the issue you are raising ?
Not GPP, but in the tl;dr please state what you offer, not what you think you are ("a free and open source 'Google'"). Tell me what you offer and I'll decide what you are to me. Bonus points if you can describe the benefits of your offerings without making me read a manifesto. Best of luck!
I've tried to make it clear by appending a summary at the top of the blog post and a big visual banner at the start of the offering (to catch the eyes of those who will speed scroll). But apparently it's not enough. I'll try to fix it.
This reads like an episode of Silicon Valley translated from French with Google Translate.
I've not tried to be fancy because English is simply not my primary language, and because I have studied CS and sport last years, not literature.
