That's what the email alias company that proon bought last year and rolled into subscriptions is for.
Also, if you buy your own domain, which from cloudflare is like $10/year, you can turn on catchall and use anything@yourdomain and have it delivered. Then, if one of your anything addresses gets compromised, you just block all email going to there and move on.
I find unless you use the proton password manager the alias feature is too hard to manage from mobile anyway.
Maybe I'll convert from my current manager to it, but I do like the idea of alias emails.
Bitwarden also has an alias service integration
It does but it is plus email addresses. So any half smart spammer will just remove anything in between the + and the @ With proton it is an entirely unique email address that cannot easily be tracked back to your email.
No I'm not talking about plus addresses. You can add an api key from addy.io or simplelogin and generate a unique address in Bitwarden
I hope they might consider a Proton Photos, since Google Photos really holds me to Google Drive. And Proton AI for working with documents on Proton Drive.
Proton Drive can already automatically back up your phones photos. What else do you want? Albums?
Yeah, that works fine.
While good, a lot of features and services in proton are still half baked. I have ultimate.
What bothers you the most?
Generally, compatability:
No SMTP (so I can send emails automatically from my servers for logs etc), no calendar sync, email sync is only hacky with the bridge, android does not have email sync at all, no contacts sync.
The calendar does not show the birthdays of contacts.
Proton drive for me is useless because no GNU/Linux client (if it comes, pls just make it something I can run headless).
There is more, but that's what I find most annoying. If I have to chose one of these then I'd say that the groupware stuff needs to be synced to any client easily (includes calendar and contacts IMO)
