Announcement from the Proton team on Reddit (Libreddit link):

Today, we’re increasing file storage limits on the free plan.

Instead of sharing 1 GB between files and email, you’ll now have:

5 GB for Proton Drive

1 GB for Proton Mail

Additional context: For Proton Drive, you now start with 2 GB and for Proton Mail, you start with 500 MB. After signing up for the Free plan, you can unlock the maximum storage allowance on each service thus:

You can boost your Proton Mail storage from 500 MB to 1 GB by completing four account setup actions.

You can boost your Proton Drive storage from the default 2 GB to 5 GB by completing three tasks.

I think Proton is fine for using as an email for signing up for websites just for the sake of avoiding Gmail, but I wouldn't advise anyone to get fully integrated with their ecosystem for syncing contacts, calendars, files, etc. For people concerned with privacy there's better options.

Like what? They have servers in Switzerland, they seem competent.

Anything that is based in the US is not privacy friendly by law (at least for not-US citizens, see why US will never be an equivalent country for GDPR)

Anything that is implemented/maintained by incompetent is not privacy friendly by NSA/hackers/you name it
