Proton Alternative? (feddit.org)

Hey! I know Proton is from the Europe. I already use thier services since many years. But I want to switch from them because of years full of disappointment. Empty Promises for me as a Linux user and also thier recent exit from the Fediverse and the CEOs Political View on Trump. I just don't really trust them anymore. Thats a personal choice and I do not want to discuss this here.

Im looking for alternatives now that are also from the EU and have similar or even better Privacy.

My biggest problem is Proton Pass probally. Because Bitwarden is from USA and also I love the Alias Feature so I would need a new Alias Service from the EU.

For Mail I will simply try Tuta. VPN I already use Mullvad.

So second Problem would be the Drive. Do you have nice solutions for an good cloud provider to save and share files?

Thanks in Advance :)

I've been using pCloud for years and it's superb.

On a technical level or works exactly how I want a cloud drive to function - only downloads and stores files locally when necessary.

Local cache size can be adjusted so if you work with large files you can increase it.

UI is intuitive

Linux client works without issue, even on immutable OS (Project Bluefin).

Fantastic value for money. I purchased a lifetime subscription and it has already paid for itself compared to annual pricing.

Only negative I have is although there is a open source headless Linux CLI client to work with remote servers it hasn't been updated in a while and doesn't support 2 factor authentication. https://github.com/pcloudcom/console-client

I was able to work around this by creating a second free account without 2fa and "sharing" the directories I needed.
