They’ve been making promises for years, frankly, I don’t believe them. I unsubbed from their “Unlimited” plan (narrator voice “it was not.. unlimited..”) after discovering there’s literally no search function in their calendar app for phone, and you can’t view or enter any entries beyond 2037, so anyone with mortgages, pensions, or any long term singular entry points for data are just out of luck. This has been missing for YEARS.
But hey, let’s roll out this stupid AI chatbot instead of focusing on core functionality. A calendar should be functional for the lifetime of the user for petesakes.. Sorry, Proton is a great idea, handled by people who don’t understand their core market.

“Proton The Company” is attractive – on paper. I was seriously considering moving from Office 365 (historical reasons) to Proton for our family. Then “Lumo AI” suddenly shows up in Proton Mail. What the hell? How many privacy-focused customers were flooding Proton with requests for AI inside their privacy products?
Now my search is relatively limited for mail, contacts, custom domain, and storage. It’s such a massive pain to move an entire org that I only want to do it once. No way my wife could step in after I’m gone and be an admin.

If their plans for Drive are anything like their Windows implementation, then no thanks. Almost no user config, can’t use filtering for file/directory exclusions, on-the-fly model was constantly conflicting with programs like PyCharm/Obsidian that save files as they’re being edited.
I would much rather see them release an actual API so software like Rclone could create a working back-end.

At the end of my current 2yr Unlimited Plan I think I’ll be dropping to a mail-only plan. I’ve now got a better drive product with Filen, and I use Mullvad as my VPN.
Pass is a decent product, but I can always go back to BitWarden if needs be.
Been looking at other mail providers as well, such as Fastmail or Tuta, but Proton’s alias service is pretty decent tbh.

Will have to look into Filen. Thanks!
