I use iPhone, Windows (work laptop) and Linux (personal laptop), so keep that in mind when looking at my suggestions. I have also a Proton unlimited subscription.

I know that some of my solutions are bonded to Apple, but I am also regularly searching for Apple alternatives and focus on apps that are cross platform to make a possible deApple process smoother in the future.

I was strongly considering their plans by the time he tweeted that, made me do a 180 degrees turn and look other places for private mail services and cloud drive… After that event, he did write on the comments of a Reddit post that he’s not a Trump supporter and was distancing himself from right wing politics.

I made peace with it. Was he writing the truth or just trying to throw some water into the fire, idk. I have currently the unlimited plan and I’m happy, in the end of the day I want to support companies that are European and provide services like Proton and Tuta.

As I mentioned in other comments, I didn’t buy a new phone to degoogle. I’m sure there are more people on the same boat. And this is a degoogle group.

Wdym? 😭

I usually tell people the same, this is a decision I will have to live with. I am happy with Proton and also happy to support their growth, hopefully it will go well for a long time.

From the other services I tried, Filen and Ente deserve an honorable mention. I was close to just go Mail Plus + Filen + Ente. But as soon as you do Proton Mail + VPN, you then go with Proton Unlimited and that is what makes the most sense financially.
