Cmonster@cliffwade I'd like to read this post but connection to the site is timing out. Is something wrong on your end
The site was down for a bit but should be back up and running without issues.
@cliffwade thanks! Helpful piece. That's why I've been planning to switch... Want to take my privacy more seriously... But the effort of switching email addresses seems like a big lift. And paying for email is psychologically hard tho the other services help.
One solution I don't have yet is document editing. I've been on Gmail since 07 or 08 and docs/drive since it started. With a chromebook currently, I have no local editor. Any suggestions for that?

You’re welcome and I glad you found it useful and/or informative. Switching email addresses can be a chore for sure, but I only did the things I use very regularly, such as Amazon, the game services I use(Epic Games, Steam and so on) and things of that caliber. Anything else I’ll either worry about as I come across them, or not at all.
As far as a replacement for Docs/Sheets and those things. I haven’t really looked because I don’t use them enough to be honest, so my need is very different than yours I’m guessing. I would imagine there’s something out there, though like Google Photos is for me, it could be tough to find something that does it all like Docs/Sheets.
@cliffwade are you uploading photos to proton now? How's that functionality for automatic uploads and sharing and showing them off?
No, I’m still using Google Photos as I don’t know of anything that will even come remotely close to replacing Google Photos and do all the things it does.
