As the title says, I have been using Proton Unlimited for almost a year; I mainly use Proton Pass, VPN and mail. Mail and Pass are pretty good. However, proton VPN is hit and miss because of the constant loading, slow and unreliable servers.

As the saying goes: don’t put all eggs in the same basket

I want opinions from current and previous Proton Unlimited users.

    On a grandfathered visionary 2 year payment plan with a year remaining, so no change plans yet, but I’m keeping a list of annoyances and concerns for renewal considerations.

    Email

    • Really want snooze/delayed email reminders for specific emails. What Mailbox from Dropbox? used to have, and Inbox had before it was merged with Gmail.
    • Annoyed I can’t delete pre-proton pass aliases
    • No android (bidirectional) contact syncing. Been using EteSync.
    • Have multiple family members on the plan

    Calendar

    • Use daily. I had issues with the number of clicks it took when adding emailed invites that didn’t get picked up automatically. Have not noticed in awhile if this is still an issue but I also don’t get as many invites.

    Passwords

    • I use BitWarden
    • Been using Proton Pass aliases, but I’m on the fence due to it creating a vendor lock-in situation

    VPN

    • Use ProtonVPN for port forwarding situations.
    • Use Mullvad otherwise as my daily driver.

    Drive

    • Proton - I use if I need to share a file with someone else in a pinch
    • rclone/b2 - Main off-site backup solution with my own encryption keys. RoundSync for android to backup my phone to b2.

    I tried rclone proton support the week it was merged. Worked okay. I tried syncing some ISO backups though and it just sat forever. Didn’t troubleshoot and just kept using b2.
