In Switzerland, Proton is well-known but their CEO is more than shady, and Infomaniak is a better alternative.

they offer so much, I’m surprised I hadn’t heard about them before. Most of their apps have proprietary clients though, right? And they don’t seem to offer privacy features like simplelogin for email, which was the main reason why I subscribed. and additionally, one would then have to pay separately for vpn

Not really! You can find the source code for almost everything in their github (I say almost because I haven’t checked if everything is in there, but I know the clients are because I’ve looked them up). Besides, aside from offering extremely competitive prices, they are privacy friendly (don’t offer end-to-end, but you can read their privacy policy) and use a very ethical infraestructure. I seriously recommend you check infomaniak up; I have been using them for 2 years and couldn’t be happier.

that’s great to hear, thanks for the info. It’s strange that they don’t mention that on their websites more prominently

I really want to like Infomaniak but apparently their syncing is… Let’s say it could be better.
If you’re just looking for somewhere to host your stuff it’s good. But their “suite” with open office (or any other one, can’t remeber) still have room for improvement.

I don’t know, I have been using them for more than a year and am SUPER happy. I use their mail, their kDrive sync and calendar/tasks and have had nearly no problems. And when I have had a problem, I have gotten very fast email support, and they even pushed an update when I let them know there was a problem with the keychain acquisition on KDE. Honestly, it’s the best experience I have had ever with any cloud provider. I even have WebDAV support!
