I have no problem with Proton drive for simple Directory-based backups (Windows only AFAIK at the moment). That said, it is not a specialized backup solution, and for that I think something like backblaze is much better (and cheaper, possibly).
I should say I'm more interested in a good multi-device sync than long-term backup, so that sounds good for Proton.
Note that sync and backup don't necessarily need to be the same process. You could use i.e. Syncthing for syncrhonisation between clients and a NAS and then create scheduled backups of the synced dirs on the NAS using i.e. borg backup.
You could combine something like backblaze with syncthing and get both. And you wouldn't lose syncing if your cloud storage provider became inaccessible. There's a self hosted aspect to that, albeit an easy one so perhaps still not something you want to do? Felt worth mentioning though.
+1 for proton Iβve been using it for a few months now.
As for multi device between it works great between my two windows laptops but as for my phone itβs iffy (thanks apple :D)
