Just a warning: the photo part of proton drive is incredibly basic to be generous and even that doesn't seem to work smoothly (on android). Just to handpick 2 very annoying things aside from lack of features: opening a picture that's locally on your phone takes 1-2 seconds, and when you back out it has to refresh the gallery view every time, which also takes 1-2 seconds - incredibly annoying while looking for the correct picture.

I use it as a second type of backup for my photos, but I definitely couldn't live with the UX the app provides. IMO the drive part in general is very lacking.

I'm still happy with my proton subscription for mail and VPN, but I'd suggest you trial the drive part before committing to it (unless you already know it's ok for your needs, in which case great!).
