Proton Alternative? (feddit.org)

Hey! I know Proton is from the Europe. I already use thier services since many years. But I want to switch from them because of years full of disappointment. Empty Promises for me as a Linux user and also thier recent exit from the Fediverse and the CEOs Political View on Trump. I just don't really trust them anymore. Thats a personal choice and I do not want to discuss this here.

Im looking for alternatives now that are also from the EU and have similar or even better Privacy.

My biggest problem is Proton Pass probally. Because Bitwarden is from USA and also I love the Alias Feature so I would need a new Alias Service from the EU.

For Mail I will simply try Tuta. VPN I already use Mullvad.

So second Problem would be the Drive. Do you have nice solutions for an good cloud provider to save and share files?

Thanks in Advance :)

I like Filen. German, simple UI, easy to use, 10 GB free storage.

@p_kanarinac
Do you know more about filen? Is this some standard protocol? Is everything open-source or just the clients? Does it have a solid userbase?

It's tempting to try their free tier, but if the company disappears half a way into the future, it's not worth the effort.

I use Seafile with paid hosting, Snycthing, and nextcloud. I'm tempted to try Ente for photos....

Honestly, this is past my expertise, I just know I like it. :) But I make sure to store stuff on physical media as well, I don't trust any service that much.
