They will just take all their oil billions and buy up battery companies at the last moment.

I know it's bad to say but MS office is a real barrier. That and done other compatibility issues with Windows apps made me abandon Ubuntu for Windows after several months where I otherwise loved it.

It's the CEOs that drive this decision for and against, not the bean counters.

That generational improvement is not the natural order of the universe. It's the result of individuals putting themselves in harms way to push for change. It's hard-fought legislation moving the cause forward. It's constitutional amendments. It's legal cases won against the odds. It's corporations jumping on the bandwagon not wanting to be seen to oppose respectable society.

But those who have always fought against the process are racking up wins. That generational change you've observed that looked inevitable is under severe threat. You cannot count on it happening by itself.

Best not to try any of the other stuff then

I don't understand. How does the site you're using the email alias for impact how many aliases you can have? I use simplelogin with a custom domain and have never been restricted from adding an alias. I don't recognize the issue you're having.

What is your bank's wealth management team doing for you? I've always assumed they were overpriced and set up to sell their own products.

So it's an end to financially strapped customers being squeezed by exorbitant late/overdraft fees to fund free accounts for everyone else.

Sounds like that was always a screwed up business model.

Also, when the CEO announces price increases and says "expects other banks will follow suit" that is designed to give cover to the other banks. JP Morgan takes the reputational hit for being first, to make it easy for the rest to raise prices also. Collusion in the open, so that JPM doesn't lose customers to competitors.

For every proton post, can we please get a bot that auto posts these, to save everyone the effort:

  • proton isn't private / yes it is / they never claimed to be
  • wasnt there a case when they shared that activist account / you have the facts wrong, here's what actually happened
  • [insert proton app name] for Linux when? / Linux is only x% of user base
  • proton needs to finish [insert proton app name] before starting something new / they are different teams so not relevant
  • proton needs to make X / no they don't
  • people shouldn't put all their eggs in one basket / don't use the service then

Thanks!

They said in the announcement that this came out of the standard notes collaboration

"We built docs in Proton Drive as a joint project with the team from Standard Notes, who share our core values around privacy and security. "

Comparing proton with Microsoft like this is a joke.

Oh, I see, thanks for clarifying. I have never had a use case where I want that.

I have a folder ABC that I'm syncing to Drive via the Drive>MyComputer>AddFolder option on Windows.

  1. Is there a way to sync this ABC folder on a different PC (logged into Proton Drive as the same user) as well so it's stored locally there and automatically syncs changes bi-directionally?

  2. Can this folder show up for other Prodon Drive users as a shared folder of some kind? Or does it first have to be relocated into the Proton Drive folder to be able to do this?

  3. In the original PC is there any way to make the ABC folder online-only? Or do I first have to relocate the folder to within Proton Drive in order to do this?

Also: how do I share any folder with another proton user (would be user on this same visionary plan) so that it syncs locally on their desktop?

Thanks for any help!

 

Is there any plan to make it possible to view MSOffice documents on Android Proton Drive without first having to download them to the device? It's a real pain right now.

 

Is there a way to add more Drive space to a Visionary account? If not, are there plans to offer this?

 

I'm on a visionary account - how can I access this beta?

 

"With Proton Mail, you can snooze your emails and be reminded about them at a more convenient time. This ensures you’ll never forget or miss an email, as it will reappear in your inbox when you’re ready to take action.

"Note that you can currently only snooze emails from the Proton Mail beta web app.

"Anyone can snooze emails for predefined times. If you’re on a paid plan, you can also set a custom snooze time."
