I recently moved away from Gmail and when I was researching what my new email client would be I considered Proton seriously for a while. But what I realized is that the privacy aspect of it is pretty much useless unless everyone you are communicating with is also using Proton. I went with iCloud, it’s free and it’s good enough for my use case.
My main issue with iCloud is that it’s American and that they may open my data to institutional monitoring upon request. Great in general, but it’s not designed for privacy.
its worse, snowden has already leaked they do open it.
Use Filen, it's a German cloudprovider, encrypted, zero knowledge and 10 GB for free.
