How do you get those free storage upgrades? Never seen that anywhere on the website before
For proton? They've always offered more storage on a paid tier over free. Plus they give you additional storage every year you're subscribed.
i really hope they overhaul this piece of work and integrate it directly into Proton rather than just being a buy-out like SimpleLogin
it's funny because Proton developed its own in-house aliasing for ProtonPass even affer they bought SimpleLogin. Ridiculous.
"100MB of note storage" is not the limit, it's what you get for free. If you write more than 100MB of text, can afford it and want to support this kind of work, as opposed to surveillance capitalism supported and fueling alternatives I would suggest considering paying for this kind of services.
Nice, more free stuff included in my subscription

I think of it as I bought something and they gave me something extra on the house.
Potato tomato as they say
I still prefer Obsidian.
Woah, chill Proton. I know I started using it, but you didn't have to buy it for me. I like it tho. Very frequently updated app, lots of features.
The deal was just announced, so I think it's unreasonable to expect shared storage on day one. It does seem a logical thing to do in time, though.
I've got a family plan with Proton so I'm interested to see how they implement Standard Notes into the plan.
Standardnotes already has premium sharing where you can give someone premium but that account's file storage usage come from the original account's plan.
Standard Notes has an unfortunate business model. Instead of charging for the convenience and security of syncing your stuff on your behalf (which is the model of Obsidian, Joplin, and Bitwarden), it wants to sell you a Markdown compatible note editor that
- They didn't write
- They don't maintain
- Can just sit on your phone/PC
This isn't just true for their markdown editor. Most of their editors are wrappers for code that other people made, sometimes last updated years ago.
Fun trivia: Filen, the E2EE cloud storage service, actually implemented "notes" that include the rich text ones free of charge.
Personally I'm not a huge fan of the "everything under one roof" model regardless... You might pass up perfectly good services that cost less or are even free.
