I pulled the trigger and decided to leave. Not only because of the recent actions from Proton, but when I started looking for alternatives I quickly realized how deeply integrated I was into their eco system and how difficult it was to make the switch. That's personally not something I like. I guess this goes back to the saying, 'Don't put all your eggs in one basket'.
I'm now a happy customer of:
I know fastmail isn't the perfect privacy option but works very well for me. They own all their own hardware and use encryption at rest. They help develop open standards such as Jmap to replace imap. . This, to me says a lot about the people behind the company and is something I appreciate.
For those looking for a more private email solution then Tuta is a great option too!
Best of luck out there folks π
Unless you're somehow looking for tonnes of storage, I don't think you need cloud services. I've set up just my 3 devices (phone laptop PC) to sync with each other using Syncthing. And that's plenty of space for just personal stuff (including photos). And it's so cheap (only the cost of the devices you're already using, and no subscriptions). It's something I wish most people did because of how prevalent Drive has become, even though it doesn't seem like it's necessary for a lot of use cases. You're situation might be different though, just a suggestion.
I have 1TB of Tresorit in case my house burns down.
Makes sense if that's something you're worried about. I just meant that it seems to me like people immediately jump to cloud storage without even considering use cases and options. I wish I'd known about this setup that I'm using now a long time ago so I thought it'd be good to put the option out there.
Well Sync is not a backup, but I get what you mean. On top of that I do have my own Nas π so using that with at least another separate offline ssd should be good enough.
