I'm looking for a diskspace of possibly 1TB online

Edit: my idea is to use it like as an external harddisk for everyday stuff. Encrypt the disk, put my filesystem on it, mount it as external drive kinda. Never worry about backups or lost data etc, as the provider would take care of it

Does anyone use Proton for storage?

I've been contemplating hopping onto their offerings once Proton pass has added some more features.

I tried but for me the upload was very slow and not very practical.

They only have a windows app for now, so to back up my NAS the only solution I found was to create a windows VM, a virtual disk pointed at my data on the NAS and running the VM regularly to back up the data.

I gave up after few weeks and went to backblaze.

I have Proton for VPN and it came with 500gb of cloud storage with my plan. Pretty decent.

I think it could be a good option in the future, but it's pretty under baked right now.
