Announcement from the Proton team on Reddit (Libreddit link):

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.

For Proton Drive, you must perform the initial actions within 30 days of signing up for your free Proton account to receive your additional 3 GB of free storage.

Does this not apply to old (read: older than 30 days) accounts?

One of these is linking/forwarding from a Gmail account. I have yet to figure out how to not have to do this.

  Didn’t even notice that one… I’m not sure if that’s a feature I want. I don’t want them knowing my Google identity, and I definitely don’t want Google knowing my Proton ~~email~~ identity either.
