Step 1: Don't use Google Calendar
I know there's privacy issues that a lot of people here care about, but there's no alternative for me that has email, photo storage, calendar, notes, cloud drive, and maps.
I could do all those separately, I guess, but why would I?

Proton literally has all of those except for maps.

You use Google Calendar as your maps app? Google Maps is separate from Google Calendar.

Both Proton and Tuta have almost all of those except for maps. For maps, just use Organic Maps or OsmAnd.
I use all of mine separately anyway, because I care about my privacy and it works better. Google products have become so enshittified and bloated that most alternatives are faster at this point.

Except for Maps Nextcloud offers it all, though. It's not like there is any benefit of using Google Maps and GMail because there are no synergies at all.

Basically calendar invites can have links and those links can be malicious.
Make sure your browser is updated, don't click strange links, and be careful where you give your private information.
