MODERATORS
Pricing of an encrypted provider cannot be competitive with an unencrypted provider, as with encrypted storage, you're not always able to deduplicate or compress file in a way non-encrypted providers can.
Additionally, Proton has their main datacenter in Switzerland, with backup sites in Germany, which has a higher power, cooling and labors costs. Hence why pricing wise, a competition on prices from unencrypted storage providers won't ever work.
