Due to Apple pulling ADP from uk consumers I think it would be fitting for us to discuss and suggest alternatives that our uk members could use and switch to.

      Just want to say: Proton’s Android app sucks ass. I had like 1000 photos and I had to manually download 25 at a time, if I choose more, like 50 or 75, the app would never finish downloading it and the process randomly stops, even if I disable “battery optimization”. That is just horrible. Even something sketchy like Mega allows you to download like 200 photos at a time, probably even more (but I have not tried yet).

      Cryptee started in 2017, so around 8 years, I think it can be said that the are not new commers. It’s not as old as Proton of course but yeah I think you can not say they haven’t been around for long enough. ente started in 2020 so it’s been 5 years I think it’s starting to be fair to assume they can be sustainable for the comming years but it’s still relatively new of course.

          Yes ente is still new and haven’t released v1 yet but they are doing awesome work and I’m currently trying it, I hope they will sustain well and keep there mission’s core for the years to come !

              Yes but if ente goes bankrupt even if the code is open and free (AGPLv3 if I remember correctly) it doesn’t mean that it will find maintainers and even if it does the nooby customers will have a hard time knowing and transfering to the new repo/fork. For these online services I totally understand that people prefer stability and sustainabilty over privacy. Remember CTemplar, Skiff, etc…? Companies like Proton, Standard Notes, have proven that you can run a privacy business for over a decade but that does not mean every privacy product or services will sustain that long.
