    I don’t doubt it… I am looking hard at ProtonMail for the fam… but $290 a year is a bit of a hit

      I just checked the price, it seems like unlimited (with storage, vpn, pass etc) only cost $120 for the first year. And it is $156 for normal price.

      And if you only need mail, that only cost around $50 for the first year.

      Unless your $ doesn’t mean U.S. dollar?

          Oh, that is 6 user with 3 terabyte of storage. average to 50$ per user per year. In where I live, that is like 2 meals outside per year, and cheaper than office 365 personal.

          To me this is pretty good value, but I understand people are different. However, I cannot get them yet, as proton drive still don’t have a linux client (or any client for that matter)…

            As far as I know, tested, and using right now - rclone (through Round Sync) on Android support Proton drive. And it uses the same core as normal Linux rclone.

            So yes, there is a client - rclone. And believe me, my own Nextcloud and pronton drives are accessed through rclone. Most clients suck

            Proton drive has windows and Android clients that work well. I’d love a Linux client for drive and for them to fix the photo upload issue on android, but eventually those things will come.

              For the moment. Round Sync on Android (use rclone) and rclone on Linux to just mount it. Better than any stupid client tbh

      It’s quite good value, especially the 2-year plan, if you actually use all the stuff they offer. I got my family there, but they are still not to eager to integrate all there is into their routines.
