Proton Review

Proton Mail

• Mobile - No offline support.
• Mobile - Can not collapse/expand list of folders & subfolders.
• No contact sync with smartphone.
• Too complex to manage aliases and hide-my-email addresses. I simply can not stand it (need Proton Mail + Simplelogin + Proton Pass); much easier on Tuta and Fastmail.

Proton Calendar

• No search on mobile.
• No offline access.
• Can not copy / duplicate event on mobile.
• Update cycle for ics is too long.
• Mobile - can not drag and drop to move an event to another time.
• No Birthdays calendar using contacts as a source.
• UI bug in dark mode.

Proton Drive

• My Macs do not appear as Computers on Android app.
• When replacing the phone, Proton Driver will upload all the photos again.
• Can not select folders to sync on Mac.
• Can not open files with external apps on Android (as iA Writer that is my main writing app).
• Slow.
• Photo backups from different devices are all mixed up. No way to know which photo belongs to each device.

Proton Pass

• No big issues so far; but it sometimes suggests a new password for an existing site instead of using the saved password.

Proton VPN

• No issues but I do not need it; my only use is when I eventually connect to a public wifi, as in a mall.
