While true, and probably pretty common nowadays, if you’re not paying for the product, there’s like a 100% chance you’re the product, at least if you have to pay for it there’s a chance you’re NOT also the product.

That’s the thing though. They know nobody would ever do this voluntarily.
It’s the principle of the thing. These companies keep overreaching all the time.
What the hell does this even mean?
I don’t think there’s a spreadsheet app yet. Hopefully soon
To be fair, it’s not as clear as it could be that there are other “plus” plans. If you happen to land on the proton mail page when looking, they only show you the mail plus option (and unlimited). And even then really truncate what exactly you get for each paid option. There’s a page that I was only able to find after opening my free account (it exists when not logged in, just never found it) that explains in depth all the options and differences.
Annoyingly, most of the individual upgrade pages don’t give the 2 year purchase option either.
Exposing their backend code to the public would be inviting bad actors to find loopholes in the logic. Your excuse for how they’re not secure is in fact one of their security features. No code is perfect, and you give enough people enough time to peruse through your software they’ll find a flaw to exploit. So they only provide their code to 3rd party audit companies they trust.
This is the best comment so far 🤣.
First off, who gives out belts for languages? I’ve been writing software for over a decade and never got any belts. You’d better believe I’d actually wear that sucker on my gi.
Dude, you’ve made your point on virtually every comment on this thread. We get it, you don’t trust them. The world has given all of us every reason not to blindly trust this sort of thing. But I’ve done enough digging that I’M happy with the security, and the fact they’re not feeding my private content to the AI monster.
Please, for the love of the flying spaghetti monster, don’t keep spamming EVERYONE with the same 3 points you’ve already made elsewhere.
For real, if it’s a useful product, and it’s free, then YOU’RE the product.
Drive has no Linux client,
I’m actually pretty sure they have one. I was doing a lot of exploring the last 2 days to make sure it was worth it to me to spend money on. And I landed on a downloads page on my Linux desktop that had a download link for drive for fedora, or debian. I can’t find it on mobile (where I am now), but I’ll look later on my PC and see if I can link it.
Was wrong, not sure what I found. Must have been the vpn or mail app.
Photos is extremely barebones and locks you basically in, as there is no export function
Interesting, thanks for the heads up. Hopefully it gets better later on, but for the moment I’m glad I made my own solution using a NAS, and a sync client.
Contacts still don’t sync
This was one of my first concerns, I’m also annoyed by it.
Additionally, I was hoping their big “docs update” would also include spreadsheets, but hopefully soon.
Excellent point. I love some open source stuff when I can get it.
