I was going to buy premium then I saw the price. It's like 14 a month, 24 for family, per month. To add on top of that, every subscription service has been increasing prices so in a few years it's probably going to be 20/30 dollars a month. Additionally, I already pay Google for 2 TB drive space for personal for 11 dollars a month and 13 dollars a month for a company workspace with one user. So why would I pay 24 more dollars to Google, and 30 dollars down the road?

Honestly, if Protonmail had better prices I'd likely switch but right now a more expensive service for fewer features isn't what I am going for. It's currently 30 dollars a month for only 3TB. I get 2 TB for just 11 dollars, family is free. Not to mention switching the whole family is a whole conversation and getting it to work on everyone's device is a headache with any service. As much as I would want to degoogle, I use Android, I use Google Voice, and I likely am not going to switch those. It's not really going to help me untie from Google and would just cause me headaches.

    I could justify the AU$30 per month for myself and my housemate, but at AU$43, they can GAGTGF.

    GAGTGF?
    I have no idea what this means, but I feel like it's probably something I'd like in my back pocket to pull out and throw in someone's face....kinda like pocket sand.

    I use Hetzner's Storage Share (which is a nextcloud instance) as my drive and pay around 5€ / mo for 1 TB. Depending on the features you want you could also use their Storage Box which is more like a plain network drive, and cheaper.. like 13€ / mo for 5 TB.
