I just upgraded to the Proton Unlimited plan, and it going great. I'm glad there is now a Windows app for Drive. I started my own business recently and configured my domain to use ProtonMail. With VPN, Drive, and now Pass, I saved money per month by canceling 1password and NordVPN plans.

If Proton staff are reading this. Thanks!

This doesn't read like an advertisement at all. From an account with just this post. Nope probably not an astroturf...

You know there are like, real people that enjoy Proton products, right? Is that completely unbelievable?

Ah yes. I see Reddit sarcasm found its way to Lemmy. It should be fun. There are such things as first posts. So like, some post has to be my first post. Thanks for making my first post feel like home.

If by that you mean "in the future" it will be great. A very distant future...

I'm still trying to remember what device I have to use to get each feature.

And despite the fact that Linux is undoubtedly the most private and secure OS, they get the least amount of support.

Yeah the fact that the Linux app is always behind the times kills me.

I'm on Fedora most of the day at work so I feel your pain. But my gaming rig can at least feel some love.

That is solely because the % of Linux users among the Proton userbase is the lowest, compared to the other OS's.

Looking forward to ditching Dropbox when Drive is fully fleshed out and on all platforms

I’m assessing this move myself. Proton is getting the edges smoothed out, but I’m really waiting for the ability to share logins with family members. Need oversight on the kid’s logins and to share things like electric utility login with the wife.

I currently have another router setup that supports ExpressVPN, and I’ll need to purchase one compatible with proton.

My case is that I want proton mail and drive which means I buy proton unlimited. So far they’ve proven trustworthy and I’ll be assessing 1Password and ExpressVPN against what I’m already paying for with proton unlimited.
