    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.

        Please don’t use serif fonts for UI elements. Imagine the buttons on your file manager being Times New Roman. (eww.) I think what you’re looking for is a monospaced font that’s designed to distinguish O/0, I/1/l, etc.

        Plug for one of my favorite fonts: https://www.jetbrains.com/lp/mono/

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

            Yeah that’s true, but I can’t see why distinguishing is required of a human. I use my password manager to generate and input passwords for me. I don’t even know any of them.

              It’s not uncommon for the password manager to not be on the same system as where the password is being entered - hence a human needs to type. For example: consumer electronics with their own dinky little screens. Smart TVs/game systems and servers where remote access is not possible (or copy/paste does not work by design).

      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.

        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.)

        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.
