I guess their new free plan changes means they force you into linking your account with Google, make you spam done on a million websites as they try to make you change the email associated with them and to use their mobile app.
If you don’t do these things you lose your free data allowance!
And as a paid user it’s even more annoying shit to deal with when visiting your inbox!
The best part? Doesn’t even allow you to dismiss it.
Why does Proton keep making the UX worse and they are getting more aggressive.
as a paid user ive never seen anything like this
This is on a paid account, that’s what’s more disgusting. Maybe just a huge error on their end, but I still don’t believe this is a good way to get business from their free accounts. Wanting people to link their account to a Google account when the goal and marketing is privacy??
it kinnd of looks like its just attempting to get you to setup alternative access methods so you dont get locked out of the account.
Nope, it just tells you some basic privacy info, wants you to link a Google account, wants you to change your account emails for different services (you have to click done on them all) and wants you to login on their mobile app.
It seems like this was their plan for adding the extra 5GB storage to free accounts, which I think is fair, if you are not forced to link a Google account, that’s the worst offender here. It appears massively bugged though and probably should not be appearing on paid accounts at all.
