      I did the switch. Even if there’s no PPP pricing for my region it’s quite alright. I’m planning to migrate my whole family to Proton in the near future. We already have our chats with Signal and one other last thing is for media backup. We’re still using a combination of Google Photos and OneDrive to save our photos. Are there any good privacy oriented data storage solutions? I’m also saving up money to spin up my own self-hosted solution.

        Proton has their own cloud storage called Proton Drive. If you buy the top VPN tier I think it includes all of the premium Proton services, Drive included. I think it’s like 500 gigs for a single user account and 2 terabytes if you get the family account.

        Proton includes cloud storage and recently started supporting automatic backup of pictures on your phone.

        Mega was my option for family photo storage. Mainly used for instant upload to a shared folder between all of us.

        As an added step, with some automations, my NAS server (TrueNAS) would sync my mega photo album to my local Nas storage. Files older than two years would be purged from mega and archives on my home NAS would stay intact.

        Since then though I swapped mega out with my own personal self hosted nextcloud instance.
