MODERATORS
Using separate providers for cloud storage, passwords, email and VPN is way less convenient and more expensive than having it all under Proton. It’s not perfect but it’s miles ahead of what most people use.
how is it way less convenient? I switched from Proton to other services and I conveniency has increased since quality of services has increased. and because I don't really see many fundamental benefits of them being tied together.
