I've been looking into the Fediverse and it seems like something I want to get more accustomed to. But iw as wondering if there was an email one based on it? I've got like Gmail and outlooks. But I also have a rarely used protonmail. So, I was wondering, is Proton good enough. Or is there a Fediverse alternative?

I understand all of this now. I just made a dumb mistake when looking at the Fediverse umbrella. Leaving it in hopes someone else may need it.

May I ask what you use as a Google Drive/Photos alternative? I've already ditched Gmail but I'm having a hard time finding private alternatives for these two services

If you're willing to self-host, check out Immich. It's pretty much the go to google photos replacement.

For Google Drive I use Proton Drive, Photos I still haven't migrated, but I'm not a photo person, it's not a priority.

How happy are you with ProtonDrive? Last time I took a look at it, they just launched it and it was only the web version. Looks like they now have mobile apps but still no desktop client?

I use it only for sharing external files, so desktop client doesn't really matter to me. I haven't much tried even the mobile apps, my flow is pretty much upload file via web, copy link and send it (it was the same with Google Drive for me). For automatic synchronization of files I use a mix of Synology Drive and Syncthing.

Hmm alright. I move around a lot, so a NAS isn't a great option for me, hence looking into cloud services. Thanks though.
