“Disease usually results from inconclusive negotiations for symbiosis, an overstepping of the line by one side or the other, a biological misinterpretation of the borders.”

It’s always dependent on the time of day, as the more folks in your local area connecting to the local node will slow down everyones speed. Are you using a free VPN or do you pay for the service? This can drastically impact the speed as the number of Proton users on the server you’re using also can reduce your speed.
Alternatively, do you use a DNS to filter BS connections only there for tracking? Paying for the VPN + using NextDNS to stop unwanted connections has resulted with my speeds being a minimum of 3MB with a max around 150MB. I have a 300MB connection, but the time of day, DNS filtering, as well as routing through a VPN all influence your speed. Thankfully these speeds are more than enough for my use case and also add to my ability to have online anonymity.
Edit: I use the official client but use the WiFi settings in Fedora to connect to my DNS server. There’s also a setting to increase speeds in the Proton client, maybe give that a shot too if you don’t have it turned on.
I feel like its pretty great. The additional VPN connections are nice and you can set it up on your router too.
SimpleLogin is the biggest benefit from the email options for sure. Unlimited aliases plus you can setup unique domains which then allow you to make email addresses up on the fly.
Drive now syncing with photos on smart phones is super nice. Also awesome to be able to share files from Drive to anyone. You can set passwords and/or time frames for the link access too.
I’m staying with Bitwarden + Aegis as it seems like too much of my data in one place using Pass for passwords and 2FA.
Calendar is cool, nice knowing it’s setup with zero-knowledge encryption. You can also share events with folks that use any calendar.
With the Standard Notes news, I’m hoping this will result in having some of the bells and whistles that Standard Notes gives paying customers. But I haven’t found anything regarding this so far.
All in all, it’s worth the price for sure. All security focused with the ability to make it the backbone of your online privacy too.
Could you simply change the file name once it’s downloaded? Maybe add the date or something similar to the end. This would prevent the issue in the ProtonMail app.
