I have been using Proton for some time now. They provide many services I use.
- Calendar
- Drive
- Passwords
- Email Aliases (SimpleLogin)
- Notes - in progress
The issue I am seeing is all my eggs are all in one basket basically. Everything belongs to one vendor. Though convenient, I don't think it's necessarily good for things in the long run. So I am breaking things up.
Here is the plan broken down as listed above.
- Mail & Calendar - I am moving back to Fastmail which I used for over five years before I switched to Proton. I've come to the realization that for now at least, encrypted email really isn't needed. Fastmail is a much better solution and will cover mail, contacts, and calendar. And of course I will still have my proton account if I need encryption.
- pCloud - I've actually had a lifetime 500 gigs with encryption which I actually use more than Proton Drive since Proton doesn't have a Linux client.
- Passwords - I used 1Password in the past, and I think I am going to return to them. Using them to manage SSH keys has always been a game changer, so it's worth going back to them.
- Email Aliases - SimpleLogin is hard to beat, but Fastmail does provide this service, I just have to redo my current aliases for Fastmail's format. I can keep Simplelogin as a stand alone app so I don't have to rush the transition.
- Notes - So I have been using Standard Notes for almost five years. I've been grandfathered into a super low priced package, but Proton owns them now and I don't know if stand alone will be available outside of Proton in the future. But in order to separate the eggs, I am set up a Joplin server and moved to self hosting my own notes.
Well this is sort of the game plan. I'm working on implementing it over this weekend. Will update if there are any other modifications needed.
