Wait, it doesn't support caldav? That really kills the appeal of the convenience they provide as a one-stop-shop, as I'd have to deal with hosting my calendars in another way. I guess at that point I could just get SimpleLogin and use the rest as I have it, even if that gets close to proton unlimited price-wise...
Yes. I host my own nextcloud, I don't need their calendar. But that also means I don't need their drive. I only need the VPN and the mail and simplelogin is a nice bonus.
I'm pretty much in the same boat, you think it's worth subscribing only for the vpn and email?
Tough question, but I guess yes. It's 10 bucks a motnh iirc, and I don't pay for streaming services
Yeah I suppose that's not too expensive, although it feels like a waste when I'm not using all the services provided
They're changing their business structure (or just changed it). I guess you could say now that it's also a donation to the whole system itself. Like donations to EEF or so. The more (financial) power proton has the better compared to other services.
Yeah that's totally true and worth a bit extra for me too
