I’ve been using Tutanota for a while now. Been interested in people’s opinions about Tutanota and Protonmail.
Tutanota doesn’t share their security audits, which Proton does.
Also, IIRC Tutanota uses their own custom encryption implementation, while Proton contributes to open source OpenPGP projects.
And when in the past the the Swiss gov ordered Proton to do some limited tracking for a specific user, after that they went to the court and succeeded in changing the law so it’s no longer possible to order this tracking.
Proton might not be ideal, but they seem to actually care about making the Internet a safer place.
Tutanota deleted my account due to not logging in for 6 months. That was rough.
Plus one for Proton. I’ve used Tutanota but enjoy the Proton suite. It’s been a while since I used Tutanota so can’t remember if they have a suite or not
I’ve never used Tutanota but been a Proton Unlimited user for a few years now. I definitely like the mail service, and Drive and VPN are nice but can be slow, especially Drive. Everything else I don’t have much use for, and honestly I cringe when I see the new stuff they’re working on. Not that any of it’s bad, but it feels like they’re in the “can’t just make a good product” camp, constantly trying to add on new stuff instead of focusing on quality. Could have it all wrong, though, I’m just a person, not an analyst.
i immediately got defensive at this, but that’s just my sunk cost fallacy speaking. The fact that it’s a suite is what originally sold me; cancel my 1password/dropbox/PIA and still have money left over. But yeah apart from proton mail everything else is halfbaked, and in the case of protonpass i’d call it undercooked/raw.
+1 as a Proton unlimited user. Yes, proton has some unfinished products, I mainly purchased it for vpn and email( also SimpleLogin). So others are a bit of extra for me. After some time, I also plan to switch from Bitwarden to proton pass. If macOS client comes, then I will also switch to proton drive.
Proton Drive client for macOS is on beta right now.
We’re also beginning the beta for our upcoming macOS desktop app for Proton Drive. As with the other Proton betas, we’re starting with Proton Lifetime accounts today, with Visionary users to be invited later. While community feedback is always important, it’s especially vital at these early stages, so we will send beta invites via email based on our ability to keep up with the feedback. We’ll collect feedback both on Reddit and at drive@proton.me. Once the macOS app is released, we’ll also work on our planned Linux version.
