I had the same concern, when using an alias for a webshop I rarely use. Due to some issues, I had to email them, as reply on the order confirmation.
I noticed my main proton emailaddress was as ‘from’, no option to select the alias.
A bit frustrated, I was like “I have no choice” and sent the email.When their reply came in, it was only to my alias. When checking my outgoing mail, it seems to be sent from my alias, as it should. So I think my main proton address was never used, but when replying and only seeing your main proton address makes you suspicious. Should be a design flaw here. Hope this can be fixed quickly.

Yes, this is also what I experienced, however, luckily I kept my original Photo library (iCloud/Apple Photo’s) as it was, until I tested a few years of uploaded photo’s.
As advise for next time: Do not empty your original database until you are satisfied with the new one. ;) Been there, done that :D
Then I discovered the same problem. For me, this is a dealbreaker and probably will not continu to use Proton, at least not for Drive/Photo’s.
For other people who suffer with large data migration, these were my steps for migration (as iOS backup function in the Proton Drive app is not capable of handling a very large photo library).
1. Make sure your Apple Photo library file is on an external SSD (or your macbook SSD if sufficient space).
2. Make sure settings are on ‘download originals to this computer’.
3. Once that is done, create ‘smart albums’ in Apple Photo’s, you can chose your range, I did it per year.
4. Create a folder structure on your SSD or NAS (if available), depending on the available space.
5. In Apple Photos, chose ‘export originals’. Chose the destination folder.
6. Wait till the originals are downloaded/exported, do some random tests to see if it really downloaded the photos and videos.
7. Repeat this for every year.
8. You now have a platform independent backup of your photos and videos.
9. Start uploading from a folder to a platform you like to test.
10. Test the new platform how it behaves with your photos and videos.
I did this and found out that Proton Drive is simple not mature enough to properly sort and display thumbnails of photos in regular folders. I will not copy/paste those same photos to their photo gallery within Proton Drive, as this will cost extra storage.
