Announcement from the Proton team on Reddit (Libreddit link):

Today, we’re increasing file storage limits on the free plan.

Instead of sharing 1 GB between files and email, you’ll now have:

5 GB for Proton Drive

1 GB for Proton Mail

Additional context: For Proton Drive, you now start with 2 GB and for Proton Mail, you start with 500 MB. After signing up for the Free plan, you can unlock the maximum storage allowance on each service thus:

You can boost your Proton Mail storage from 500 MB to 1 GB by completing four account setup actions.

You can boost your Proton Drive storage from the default 2 GB to 5 GB by completing three tasks.

I think it's because a lot of other companies did the same thing, Google Drive and Dropbox also had these 'do tasks and get more space' promos

My personal issue with the above is privacy issues (mainly dropbox with the automatic opt-in AI thing), so who knows. Maybe it'll be ok

Proton drive is end to end encrypted so all your files are kept private
