Appreciate and upvote every reply to my comments/posts if I can detect any effort being put into it; even if I think you completely missed what I tried to say or strongly disagree with your opinion.
Occasionally I cannot resist shitposting, hyperbolic, ironic, sarcastic or populist rhetoric; no /s
imo they offer unfinished or straight up redundant products. with the “community feedback” you get a certain amount of “points” which you can use to beg them to implement features (which other apps implemented years ago) only for them to basically never implement anything, even if hundreds of users describe it as “critical”.
it took me a week to convince my family of a familyplan, but then less than 1 hour of trying the android apps to decide against it.
id advise to just start using joplin or whatever suits you. i cannot prove it but would not be surprised if they keep buying those apps mainly to remove them from the market and thus grow their monopoly ecosystem. addy.io also got an offer to sell but refused.
basically.
even minimal metadata for example from signal contains
Message dates and times
Message senders and recipients (via phone number identifiers)
From these 2 pieces of information, its possible to build social graphs: who talked to who, and when they did it. Also, who’s in a group chat with who else.

and sorry but how is this not false advertising? https://proton.me/blog/switzerland
no they are not, just another stupid article from proton. nothing stops you from saying that bwE0FpHb5iPzMZiismyeiTIWhoB*#V8SaD0F3R*SeH was your first pets name.
proton however stops you from disabling otp after setting up multiple security keys, they stop you from putting a pin on your drive app and they stop you from using an +4 digit pin on your mail app.
but yea, the potentially insecure thing they dont even offer is the biggest concernn here 🤦♀️
If you just want a place to backup photos, I’d use something safe and reliable (I use windows one drive cuz I have one TB there anyway) in combination with cryptomator. Literally cannot go wrong.
Never trust stuff that sounds too good to be true. Companies like pCloud sometimes have lifetime offers of like 1000 TB for $200 or something. But a quick search will lead you to countless complaints of people that got their account disabled for some kind of ‘violation of terms’
not going into all of that but just install the app with aurora store if it makes you trust proton more.
