I’m looking to reduce my dependence on Google services as much as possible, and Proton seems to offer the most comprehensive private suite. A number of things seemed to be missing, but most of my information is from reviews that could be out of date. So I wanted to ask which of these features Proton can replicate.
- Thunderbird mail syncing (without paid plan?)
- Thunderbird calendar syncing
- Calendar sharing
- Easy move from google drive to proton drive
- Sync android photos like google photos
- Offline file saving for specific files in proton drive on android
- Sync with folder or mount on linux (smb or similar)
I was in a similar position and moved to Proton. Their native Linux support is rudimentary, but nobody else provides a better, privacy respecting option. Their web apps work well though, and the email client uses local storage APIs for offline use and search.
I do use Mega for cloud storage though, they’re e2ee and have solid Linux (both GUI and really nice CLI) and mobile support.
