Proton Drive as a backup location
community.home-assistant.io
Amazing to see the progress that Home Assistant has made with backups, nice to see the first integrations adding their backup locations. I would love to be able to store my Home Assistant backups in Proton Drive. I think their API is very limited (most people integrate with it via rsync) and am wondering about 2 things: Is it possible to provide this at the quality level required for an official integration? If so, how? If not, is an add-on feasible? Is there enough demand for this to be wort...

    Posteo.de if you don’t need a custom domain, Mailbox.org if you do.

    For cloud storage it should be a different service anyways, it’s best not to combine things with the same company. So for example Tresorit for storage, Bitwarden for passwords, Mullvad for a VPN, etc…

      Great advice, do not put all your eggs in one basket. Makes it easier to jump ship when it’s only one service.

      mailbox.org isn’t encrypted like Proton mail is. (Of course, Proton could steal your decryption password, but still)

        Proton is only encrypted between proton users. Proton mail to/from gmail or outlook is plain text, unless the recipient sets up PGP, and you can do E2EE with PGP over any host.

          All mail is typically encrypted in transit with smtps, and Proton mail is encrypted at rest. But that’s true, it’s not e2ee, so I guess they could just scrape it all as it comes in, if they’re not doing so already.

          Both companies are based in Europe though so I figure US spying laws don’t apply?

      +1 to this. Tresorit and Mullvad are both exceptional
