First off thanks
Second: stupid question is proton.me like an email or an app/website for email or something else entirely and I’m just missing something
Email, Calendar, Cloud storage, and VPN all Free* and Open Source.
*Free as in Freedom. While they do have free priced tiers, you do have to pay for more storage, more VPN servers, etc. Free still worth it IMO.
So proton.me is essentially everything and I can use without paying as long I delete old stuff
Essentially, yes!
I took a brief peek at it and it actually looks good
I’m assuming you have experience with it
I might keep my Gmail account around for things like a backup email or super important Stuff like my bank account
Also side note. Do they have iOS apps (which I’m assuming will sync between my 2 windows computer) or will I just have to make a web shortcut
They offer iOS apps for Proton Mail, Drive, Calendar and VPN
Email, Calendar, Cloud storage, and VPN all Free* and Open Source.

Yeah I’ve been looking at them and I think I’ll go with them at the very least for now in the short run while I’m still getting settled and seeing options but I think I’ll run with proton so I can have everything under mostly one umbrella, maybe not drive just cus I can’t edit files directly but that’s not a super big deal for me considering the trade off from OneDrive
