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.
My free Dropbox account has 23GB of storage. They did this kind of stuff when starting out.
My free Dropbox had 100gb for years, but then they decided that was too much and nerfed it to 10gb. At least I could still access my files.
