I wonder if this correlates with my recent desires to de-Google my life. I’m steadily growing less happy about daily using their services and them holding all my info.
I’m open to suggestions for cloud photo storage/management on par with Google Photos if anyone has some. I’m looking into FOSS but would rather pay for the service in the long run. These days I’m too busy to learn to be an effective server admin and keep up with the technology.
Proton, has email, cloud storage and VPN services.
I’ll second Proton. It sucks to have to pay for services again to have something that matches the generous free shit that we got before… but seems those wild west days of the internet, unless you were grandfathered on or have to give up a lot of info in return… are now long gone.
You can also feel good about supporting Proton. They are literally bootstrapped as a service and only rely on what we pay them. They never took any money from vc or other sources.
If you have more than one person who should/would/could move over to Proton, they have a family plan and every so often they bring back their visionary plan which is a better version of the family.
