I’m looking to reduce my dependence on Google services as much as possible, and Proton seems to offer the most comprehensive private suite. A number of things seemed to be missing, but most of my information is from reviews that could be out of date. So I wanted to ask which of these features Proton can replicate.

  • Thunderbird mail syncing (without paid plan?)
  • Thunderbird calendar syncing
  • Calendar sharing
  • Easy move from google drive to proton drive
  • Sync android photos like google photos
  • Offline file saving for specific files in proton drive on android
  • Sync with folder or mount on linux (smb or similar)

    Thunderbird mail syncing (without paid plan?)

    No, the bridge is available for paid plans.

    Thunderbird calendar syncing

    Nope

    Calendar sharing

    With a link to anyone: https://proton.me/support/share-calendar-with-proton-users

    With Proton users:

    Easy move from google drive to proton drive

    Not yet there, something like that is planned.

    Sync android photos like google photos

    Not sync but backup:

    Offline file saving for specific files in proton drive on android

    Offline availability in the Proton Drive app exists.

    Sync with folder or mount on linux (smb or similar)

    Out of the box not. rclone has some support.

    I was in a similar position and moved to Proton. Their native Linux support is rudimentary, but nobody else provides a better, privacy respecting option. Their web apps work well though, and the email client uses local storage APIs for offline use and search.

    I do use Mega for cloud storage though, they’re e2ee and have solid Linux (both GUI and really nice CLI) and mobile support.
