What’s so bad about proton, and is there alternatives to all of their services? (lemmy.ml)

I keep hearing bad stuff about proton, but I don’t really get most of it. Could someone please explain all of the controversy to me. Lastly, what are the best alternatives to all of their services?

Drive: Filen, Jottacloud

VPN: NymVPN

NymVPN is too new for me to feel comfortable using personally. Also it seems that they worked with Brave which I'm certainly not a fan of.

I wouldn't recommend Jottacloud as their privacy policy seems iffy and they don't have e2ee.

Filen's privacy policy seems better, although they do say they do analytics. They do have e2ee though. Definitely much closer to Tuta than Jottacloud.
