I keep hearing bad stuff about proton, but I don’t really get most of it. Could someone please explain all of the controversy to me. Lastly, what are the best alternatives to all of their services?

      NymVPN is too new for me to feel comfortable using personally. Also it seems that they worked with Brave which I’m certainly not a fan of.

      I wouldn’t recommend Jottacloud as their privacy policy seems iffy and they don’t have e2ee.

      Filen’s privacy policy seems better, although they do say they do analytics. They do have e2ee though. Definitely much closer to Tuta than Jottacloud.

        Harry Halpin is the CEO of Nym and is at least a CEO who’s politically on the good side. And Chelsea Manning works for Nym.

        Yeah, the Brave Ad-block and no WireGuard Configs are not so good, but so far I enjoy NymVPN.

        People who use Jottacloud should encrypt their data before sending it over.
