Wow these all sound so much better than Proton's photo backup. In the words of @mhzawadi@lemmy.horwood.cloud , it's pants.
Proton reinventing the wheel is so stupid.
They should use what's out there and improve it. Like including simplelogin. They should use immich, make it private, and include it in their setup. They even suck for calendar. You can't integrate it anywhere. Integrating email is difficult as well. They want to become the next tech silo. I am somewhat stuck with them for now but I may move to tuta if I can
I'm with tuta but in term of integrability I don't feel there is a huge difference...
Thx for the heads up!
U've got well over 500 email addresses with proton. It'll take a long time to migrate, if ever.
