“People honestly seem to forget that I live in Switzerland, where Republican/Democrat doesn’t mean anything, and Trump isn’t even on our ballot to be voted for…”

“The point is that fighting for a more just and equal society is not just about fighting for the fundamental right to privacy but also for all other fundamental rights, including individual rights and life. When you, as the CEO of a company that starts from these principles, nod positively to whatever action a political figure like Trump, who is known for always flagrantly putting his private interests ahead of those of his own nation, makes speeches about eliminating minorities, hurting their rights as citizens and flirting with Nazi movements, it is understandable that members of the privacy community are disappointed as this reveals a little about who is being the face of a company that should follow contrary principles. But now we really know what “freedom” means to you.”
I cancelled my proton the other day, right after his post.
As alternatives:
Im still figuring out the drive, thinking of self hosting that too.
Good luck out there.
Look into Filen for storage. They are relatively new, but looks promising.
Besides the password manager (I use Bitwarden) those are strong recommendations. Thanks
Are you happy with bitwarden? Its very tempting ... I'm just concerned about it being in the US, where some agency could "request" data.
Unless your master password is stolen or it is just "123" it is literally impossible to crack your vault. I've been happy with BW (even if it is in the US I'm not American so they can't even use it against me)
PS there is a European server at bitwarden.eu :)
