Unnecessary and deeply concerning bow to the new "king"

Very disappointing that this is the CEO and founder of Proton. I'll be moving my stuff elsewhere and deleting my account this week.

Where are you moving? I'm interested in alternatives to Proton Mail and Proton Drive

Mail I have sorted it out with Tuta and passwords with bitwarden.

Now I need a Drive alternative. Any suggestions?
