So I’ve been looking up VPN stuff, and in the process, I’ve stumbled on ProtonVPN, from the same people as ProtonMail. They’re now offering private cloud storage, and I’m wondering how private is it. e2e means I have to manage the keys on my device right? I don’t know how else it could realistically work, if they manage keys, they can access my keys etc?

    I agree with everything you said about proton mail. It is really good but I decided I don’t care enough about privacy not to use something easy. Also, if you forget your password a reset wipes your data. (If I recall correctly)

      You might be able to download other recovery tokens that get you access, but yeah, with any truly end-to-end encrypted product, once you lose the ability to decrypt your data, it’s gone forever.

      For me the biggest issue really is search, especially on mobile. All you can do is search the metadata.
