Today, we’re increasing file storage limits on the free plan.
Instead of sharing 1 GB between files and email, you’ll now have:
5 GB for Proton Drive
1 GB for Proton Mail
Additional context: For Proton Drive, you now start with 2 GB and for Proton Mail, you start with 500 MB. After signing up for the Free plan, you can unlock the maximum storage allowance on each service thus:
You can boost your Proton Mail storage from 500 MB to 1 GB by completing four account setup actions.
You can boost your Proton Drive storage from the default 2 GB to 5 GB by completing three tasks.
fwiw i deleted the crossposts of this post from /c/privacy@lemmy.ml and /c/opensource@lemmy.ml (because protonmail is a faux-opensource snakeoil privacy product) and flagged the posts in other communities as spam.
i encourage anyone who thinks protonmail's non-interoperable end-to-end encryption is useful to read my comment about it here.

I find your response discouraging, and your actions appear excessive. While Proton may not be flawless, it does offer superior privacy protection when compared to commonly used options like Google and Microsoft.
I volunteered my time and effort to craft the post, including citations, offering more background information, and incorporating reliable links to official resources. However, you made claims without substantiation, deleted the crossposts of my post from /c/privacy@lemmy.ml and /c/opensource@lemmy.ml, and flagged the posts in other communities as spam. Your decision seems to be unsupported by members of the four communities I had shared my post to.
It's disheartening to see such actions taken without proper consideration, thereby causing harm to the privacy community at large. Avoiding hasty decisions that may stifle valuable contributions within the privacy community should be paramount. Consequently, I respectfully ask you to reconsider your initial reaction, abstaining from premature removals rooted in personal opinions devoid of solid backing.
By embracing a balanced stance that values both freedom of expression and responsible fact-checking, we contribute positively towards nurturing healthy debates and maintaining transparent communication channels. In light of this, I hope you will take the necessary steps to reinstate the removed posts, allowing for continued conversation on their merits.
Edit: You have now banned me from both of those communities.
Edit: You have deleted another post of mine from c/privacy@lemmy.ml that was titled "Chat Control May Finally Be Dead: European Court Rules That Weakening Encryption Is Illegal", with your reason being that it is "snakeoil spam" even though the community members do not think so (the post has more than 750 upvotes)
You have now banned me from both of those communities
I actually banned you from both of them at the same time I deleted those two protonmail posts, but then unbanned you a minute later after reviewing your account further.
I'm not a secret agent or criminal, I just want an alternative to Google/Microsoft's suite that doesn't blatantly harvest all my information and try to sell me things based on it.
Just because you personally don't like a service or it fails some silly purity test you made up doesn't give you some right to censor news about it.
Stand down as a moderator: what little power you have has already gone to your head and now you're activity harming the communities you're supposed to be protecting.
