    This is necessary for inheritance reasons in areas outside of Proton. It should ideally become a feature of Proton.

    A dead man's switch in proton allows access to assets or documents which are secure until someone dies.

    Consider having a two part key. Half is given to a beneficiary. The other half is set to be sent to them via a dead man's switch.

    With a dead man's switch there is no risk of premature access by beneficiaries directly, nor through either their careless security or trusted intermediaries (like lawyers). And with the two parts being completely distinct, there no risk of combining them until the switch is triggered.

    Proton's security makes this the perfect platform for this type of dead man's switch.

    I too cannot use this as an alternative until I can have critical files synced across multiple devices. I understand there may be reticence to open this up to apps which already sync files, but if not please put it as the highest priority for new development. Otherwise the data we pay for is just a backup and files used and modified on multiple devices cannot be stored on Proton Drive.
