Affordable private cloud storage (Solved) (piefed.blahaj.zone)

Since proton is now ~~evil~~ not seeming good, I'm looking to move my email and drive to another service. Tuta looks great, but they don't yet have cloud storage. Is there a supplemental service that you may recommend that I use for cloud storage, or even a different email provider that also has cloud storage? Thanks.

Edit: I have chosen to go with the email service Posteo. I am still looking at cloud storage options.

Edit 2: I have gone with filen. It is cheap, and I only used cloud storage for sharing files with people usually.

Really?
Being a dick is "evil"?

The majority of companies are run by dicks and assholes; Even the good ones. Almost especially the good ones.

Honestly, the term "evil" seems only ever used to give people (themselves mostly) permission to shun, without looking at what's actually wrong, and occasionally trying to do something about it. It's lazy.

Does Proton have internal management problems to fix? Absolutely! Along with virtually every other organization.

That's fair. I wasn't trying to use "evil" in that way, but I understand your perspective. Their goal for the most part of still the same, I was just thinking about Google's catchphrase "Don't be evil" and then they started not really following that. To me this feels somewhat similar, a wavering of sticking to proton's goals

I'd put Proton on "company" tier but not "providing datacenters for war crimes" tier.
