Trying to de-google and looking for an alternative to Gmail.

Don't mind if it's a paid service if it's robust.

What made you adamant on getting proton? Curious, cause I could mention some cheaper, but very competent email services.

    oh I wouldn't say I'm "adamant" - but to answer your question I was looking to unGoogle my Google Drive and GMail, and Proton popped up pretty quick for having both. I'm currently paying for Private Internet Access VPN, but once that expires I could also get a 3rd function out of Proton with their VPN. I also want my new mail service to allow custom domains, which Proton also does.

    Yeah drive is a pretty good feature. Do be warned though, proton's overall Linux support is bad, including the VPN and drive. $8 for unlimited (which comes with everything you mentioned) a month is a little steep, but if you'll use the VPN and the email it's definitely worth it. Enjoy man.

    Thanks! Fortunately (unfortunately?) I'm all Windows atm. Other than my pihole and photoframe.
