Remove sign-up email
When i first created my proton account I created it using my gmail address. Now it is listed under identity & e-addresses > My e-mail addresses. I cannot remove it.. I dont see any reason why I would still need this gmail be linked to my account. If I wouldve lost access to my account I would still have the recovery keys...
The most annoying part about this is that the gmail adress shows up when I share my files with proton drive. Why would it do that? It always says "shared by ..@gmail.com"

When you first accessed your Proton Drive volume, the encryption keys of the then default sending address of your account were used for the creation of the volume, so all data that you uploaded was encrypted with those encryption keys.
Currently, the only way to change it to be any other address is delete everything in Drive, have support wipe the keys, make the desired address your primary address and recreate the Drive keys.
