Looks like they're developing a drive-like suite as well? Might have to switch ...

Yeah, it will be interesting to see how that compares to some alternatives on the market.

Monolithic companies seem to all enshittify rather quickly these days as they expand.Proton seems to just be the latest.

  1. Starting to go all in and force AI usage.
  2. Back to office mandates.
  3. And most importantly their CEO supporting fascists, berating employees, and dismissing basic security concerns (like pentesting AI code changes before pushing to prod).

In my process of degoogling, I ended up making a Koofr drive a few months now, and while I haven't moved everything over yet from Google, I have been using their even more encrypted Vault. Storing stuff that I want to have an additional level of security on. Things like 2FA recovery tokens, bypass passwords, etc. that I don't need to access basically ever, but I don't want to risk losing either.

So that's an alternative to Drive you might want to take a look at as well. Also EU-based, and GDPR compliant. Apps available for everything, plus official WebDAV and Rclone support.

I'm a believer in "no such thing as ethical consumption" but this latest Proton news seems egregious. I'm at the point where I might as well just start self hosting everything.
