Anubi (MOVED TO OOMFIE.CITY)Jul 13, 2025

looking for opinions here  

I want to move my email/cloud storage away from big tech (google, microsoft), and the best option I could find at this point that combines both is Proton... For people that have used it, how is it? would you recommend something like Mail Plus? (can't get unlimited yet, sadly)

if you can't recommend or don't like it, do you know of any alternatives that combine both email and cloud storage? or at least a combo that gets you around the same price as Mail Plus? thank you

@anubiarts I’ve found the encryption of Proton mail to make the experience slower and less polished than Gmail , particularly around search.

If your goal is to move off of big tech and to a company that does not sell your data but not necessarily be encrypted, I’ve been very happy with Fastmail.

IMO. email encryption protonmail style isn’t worth it anyways because the metadata isn’t encrypted (who you’re talking to and the subject lines of every email) nor is the copy held by the person you sent it to so it’s still out there. For things you want to be secure against government access, use signal.
