I changed back when google got rid of the free "mail for your domain" and frankly its been a great thing for me. They keep announcing new things that replacing my existing apps.

They have a password manager now that I use. They are finally adding actual fuction to their online drive storage so I can sync files and backup photos.

Its been well worth the price for me. If only they had an office suite lol

I really wish their password manager used a serif font, though. That's pretty unacceptable if you're generating secure passwords.

Could you explain why them not using a serif font is bad?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

Generally speaking, serif fonts make it easier to distinguish between visually similar characters like o, O, and 0 or 1, I, and l.

The only thing I haven't found a good replacement for was how G Drive also handles Office style documents. I make use of that a lot, especially from my phone. But I agree, Proton Mail hasn't been painful one bit.

I wish I could integrate it with like onlyoffice or something like that. Would be perfect.

For now I have to be happy with saving to my documents folder and knowing its backed up.

Seriously? My workplace uses google drive, and many documents are made with word. ... A very common problem is that sometimes someone opens a word doc from the web interface of google drive - which automatically can conveniently opens it with google docs, which totally screws up the formatting and then autosaves it.

(I hate google, and I resent that even after I've removed all aspects of it from my home & personal usage, I still have to use it at work.)
