    I’m still on google for email and a bit of drive, calendar etc. I’ve been reading stuff about Proton with some interest as I’d like to ditch google. This doesn’t encourage me - what’s the point of a mobile only plan? Isn’t half the point of a cloud drive to allow sharing with other platforms? I’m just thinking aloud here - I could go read their offerings where I’d probably find that it’s their lowest entry level tier and they have less restrictive plans with clients for various platforms?

      The plan can only be bought on mobile(through playstore and app store).

      Files are going to be accessible on all platforms.

      I would say in that case of making the best use of all their offerings (mail, drive, calendar) Proton unlimited is the way to go: https://proton.me/drive/pricing I made the switch a year ago from a Google and I’m happy with Unlimited.

      But they also have a free tier, good enough to try everything out. Plus individual subscription options for every one of their products (for example Drive Plus).
