I recently switched my email from gmail to proton mail, because fuck google's.. well... everything. Glad to hear that Proton Mail keeps fighting for privacy!

I'm in the (gradual) process of switching all my stuff from Gmail and Google to Proton mail. I really like the mail client and Proton Drive works better on my computers than Google Drive did, but Proton Drive doesn't back up my phone yet and I wish they had an office suite like Google does. I don't put anything important or private on Google docs, but it's useful to be able to access my textbook notes from any of my computers. I haven't used the password manager because I'm using Bitwarden, which I really like.

They just released photo backups on android

[–] shadowSprite@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

I missed that update! This is great news!

I want Proton Drive support on Linux.

It's currently completely useless to me, unfortunately.

Rclone supports proton

[–] isVeryLoud@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Indeed, but rclone is a CLI tool (with a web interface available, which I found to be a really clunky way to do things). I tried using Celeste, which uses the rclone backend, but it never finished backing up my documents folder.

The CLI process was pretty smooth for me, and afterward just works. I mean no offense when I say I didn't expect a Linux user to balk at using CLI. A GUI would be nice, I suppose, but I like the way rclone works for me.

Fine, you got me, I'll give the CLI a solid. :P

As a software developer, I work in CLIs and codebases all day, the last thing I want to do when coming home is more CLIs and code hahah

[–] s38b35M5@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

I feel you about coming home to code. You have my permission to tell rc to eff off

[–] Newby@startrek.website 1 points 11 months ago
