Trying to de-google and looking for an alternative to Gmail.

Don’t mind if it’s a paid service if it’s robust.

    I agree, it’s pretty functional. Only issue I’ve had with it is it’s pretty slow, and if you need to upload a lot of files quickly your out of luck.

    My boss had me take a couple hundred pictures with my cell, and I didn’t want to waste my time trying to send via sms, so I uploaded then to my drive and shared them. It took 2 hours just to upload them.

      Seriously though, that’s interesting. When I moved all my stuff over from Sync to Proton Drive, the upload took about as long as expected, with my uplink being used quite well, at least when larger files were being uploaded.

        Yah, even as long as it took, there was no way I was texting him those photos.

        I don’t think it was limited by connection speed. I usually get about 1mb down and half that upload, and with each photo about 2mb that should have finished in less than five minutes.
