I would buy into the 2 terabyte plan if they had linux support, or standards support, like webdav, and let me worry about how.
As it is, I am a Proton VPN customer, but there is 0 incentive for me to upgrade into other tiers without proton support for my storage. I currently have my email hosted in the EU, and I pay them generously every month. Money that could be going to Proton and paying the tab for 2/3'rds of the cost of the 2 terabyte plan.
But seriously, 2 terabyte for lackluster web support from Linux, with the web interface not even having progress bars that work, and Firefox constantly complaining that the window is frozen?
Storage, to be marktetable, has to be reliable. The web interface is just simple NOT reliable. The storage market is highly competitive. Proton has good products, and only needs drive support, and the email client to be out of beta for linux to be highly competitive with other offerings. As it is, I am happy with my Proton VPN working through native linux Wireguard, but without the storage working better, there is no reason to buy anything more than the vpn product.
If they wait too long to jump on this opportunity, customers like me will have moved off to other storage providers, with better storage offerings, and the chance for a monthly recurring revenue (or yearly) will be gone. If the storage prioritizes security over availability, it is not useful. Like many users, give me the raw storage, and I will cook my own encryption solution that fits my needs. I don't need any molly coddling of me, I am capable of encrypting my own data. Thank you very much!
