    It’s pretty great. Especially considering that you get a full ecosystem with Mail, Calendar, Drive, VPN and Pass.

    I would also like to take this opportunity to shout out murena.io. They host open source cloud solutions. You get a Nextcloud with OnlyOffice and lots of other goodies and their pricing is pretty good

      So how would you sync your Proton Passwords with NextCloud, or with VaultWarden? Or actively sync them locally to be used with an open source app?

      Oh, that’s right… you can’t. Proton will say… “Just trust our payloads bro! There is no way we’d ever deliver a modified payload to get your password. Sorry you can’t sync your calendar & contacts, just use our Windows apps.”

        I wouldn’t? I suggested Murena as a Proton alternative. I don’t know if they have a password manager right know but you can always throw a KeePass database into your Nextcloud.

          My sincerest apologies. I misread the thread and thought you were advocating for Proton, which IMO is a questionable company. Thanks for the clarification.

            I use both. Proton fits most of my needs, Murena does the rest. I’m not attached to any of them though, if I’m given good enough a reason, I’ll drop Proton immediately

              At least you’re open to moving on. I think keeping an open attitude in any scenario is prob the best option. For most people, I’d recommend they keep using whatever works for them. If you’re happy with Proton then switching may just cause frustration. However, if you’re very much security focused and also care about things like being able to access your calendars/contacts in the apps you want, then I’d prob suggest just using SimpleLogin for email with their GPG feature, vaultwarden for passwords (you can still use the BitWarden phone apps), and Nextcloud for Calendar/Contacts which also supports DAVx for mobile.
