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.

Just separate the two, e-mail and cloud storage, and you’ll be a lot more flexible.

Posteo e-mail costs 1 EUR/month.

As for cloud storage, either self-host or use a managed Nextcloud instance. IONOS’ offering (500GB) comes in at 6 EUR/month.

In total, that gets you to 7 EUR/month, which is still cheaper than Proton’s unlimited package (clocking in at 10 EUR/month). On the downside, you still haven’t got a VPN at that pricing. But I’d keep that separate from mail and file storage anyway.

Is there anything that just does cloud storage and does it well? (With offline files)?

My attempts with nexcloud were awful.

Please elaborate. I keep hearing this take and can’t make heads or tails of it. For me, Nextcloud has been rock-solid, and I’ve been using / running it for many years now.

I tried running the AIO container and ai think a docker compose? I was getting 6kb/s sync speed on the same network.

Infomaniak, Swiss based. Email and 1TB storage for 15 Euro/year. Their ksync app handles phone photo instant backup. An AI tool is included.
