(Answered) Question about the new IOS in c/protonprivacy@lemmy.world
[–] alex_herrero@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

What is now available:

-All photos from your iOS device will be backed up to your Drive

-It's a backup, so actions taken on your device or Proton Drive online won't have impact on the other.

The new, rewritten Proton Mail Android app is now available to everyone! in c/protonprivacy@lemmy.world

It will probably be more convenient once they make the rearrange buttons available on Android as it is on iOS. Probably soon.

Any chance of lemmy being recognized as an official community? Update: it is recognized under the "forums" section, I just didn't see it :D in c/protonprivacy@lemmy.world

Multiple free accounts are agains their terms of Service. One free account and multiple paid accounts. That could help.

how do i keep your email address hidden on the proton drive in c/protonprivacy@lemmy.world

You mean when you share stuff? Because that hamburger only shows when you're logged in, to you. Are you on a shared computer? Can you please explain in detail your scenario? Thanks!

Because people could want them in a specific manual order other than using the alphabet. Well, you could put a number as prefix to order them, I know, just pointing the fact.

Proton API, does one exist? in c/protonprivacy@lemmy.world
[–] alex_herrero@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Not there. But would be great. At least a way to backup and recover your contacts to a new phone (both Android and iOS). That would be awesome.

Usually sync calendar and contacts.

Proton Pass open source password manager is now available on F-Droid in c/protonprivacy@lemmy.world
[–] alex_herrero@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

For Mail and Calendar could take a little longer, as they won't be there until they replace their notification system.

[Proton.me] Top blog posts of January 2024 (lemmy.world)
 

From the Team:

Hi, everyone!

As our yearly blog roundup promised, we're bringing you last month's top new blog articles. January turned out to be quite news-heavy, with posts analyzing the relationship between big tech and privacy concerns being the most prominent.

🥶 Outlook is now Microsoft's new data-collection service - Microsoft informed its users that they share their data with 772 third parties.

💲 Big Tech has already made enough money in 2024 to pay all its 2023 fines - Last year, Big Tech companies (Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta, and Microsoft) received about $3 billion in fines for breaking laws. We discuss whether these fines are big enough in the given context.

🧽 The worst privacy washing of 2023 and trends to expect in 2024 - The false advertising Big Tech companies use to trick people into thinking their products are private is becoming the #1 threat to privacy.

Regarding the more practical articles we publish, most of you have been interested in how to set up a private email server, while the most popular piece of Proton-related news has been the price change of Proton Pass.

We'll keep rounding up top blog articles each month for you to make sure you're all caught up on the latest news and tips. You can follow our blog here (we have an RSS feed, too), and we welcome all your suggestions about what we should write about next! Let us know in the comment below.
