To replace everything. Mail, calendar, drive, vpn, password manager, documents etc. What are the pros and cons relative to proton? What are the mobile apps like? What assurances do you have they won’t go full proton in the future? And other questions

    I can second most of the suggestions. I do not host an office suite (for now?) but I am syncing my keepass dbs over syncthing along with my notes and important documents. I think since 2016 or so. It works well.

    Before I had a server I just synced them in a triangle between my phone, laptop and desktop. Most things had 3 copies this way. Any device could offload changes to another. Now I have a central node and the option to sync as before if the server is down. With Tailscale, I don’t need to be on the same wifi now eiter.

    The keepassDX limitations are not a big deal if all you need is basic autofill.

    Mail providers are hard to chose. I am leaving proton for the lack of easy smtp and their locked in nature. Get your oen domain and you will be able to switch more easily in the future.

      Tuta?

      I just synced them in a triangle between my phone, laptop and desktop.

      This is precisely my setup, haha! But I don’t even use my desktop often enough to merit a server…

        Yeah, I tried tuta. I have (overall less but) the same issue with proton. I just want to use my own client apps of choice.

        I have registered with mailbox.org and while the trial period is very limited, the web ui is minimalistic and basic looking. You could say outdated. I seriously consider paying for a “team” account for me and my wife. The price is unbeatable. Aside from the gui, the features I need are there.

        I just need the Wife’s approval. She’d be migrating from yahoo of all places.
