After using Protonmail free for a few years I upgraded to Mail Plus. No issues, works great. Last week I upgraded to Unlimited because it's only 50 cents more per month than paying for Plus and Simplelogin separately and I get much more out of it ... or so I thought.

I tried out Pass, Drive, and VPN and I just have to say how disappointed I am.

Pass - It has the option in the android app of adding custom fields but it doesn't work. The website has it but it's in black theme only which isn't something I can use without massive eye strain.

Drive - It has the option of uploading a folder but it doesn't work. Can't upload photos without installing an app. When photos are uploaded there isn't a search option. So now I have to delete all photos and re-upload them one folder at a time into a folder so they are organized.

VPN - The android app is in black theme only which will give me the aforementioned eye strain.

I just need to vent. Thanks.

There's definitely a lot of stuff they could be doing better. And for some reason they won't listen to their users on some of these things.

Maybe try asking for these features over on their reddit pages? People from proton are actually on those. I don't think anyone from proton is here on lemmy

Thanks. I've contacted support about these issues and I've been told they added my specific issues to the list of upgrades. Perhaps Reddit is the better place with one issue per post and see how other users react. If enough people agree with the app shortcomings maybe Proton will do something.
