Worst experience I've ever had with cloud storage.

Title. The experience I had with Proton Drive over the last few months was so intensely negative I decided to cancel my subscription. I really wanted to like the service as I think Proton Mail is really great, but sadly this wasn't the case.

Firstly, my #1 complaint is that Proton Drive deletes files off of your computer without your consent. When I first moved my files into Proton Drive it uploaded all of them and then removed them from my harddrive with zero warning, and I had to spend multiple days downloading them again. Proton also forced me to delete those files before I could downgrade my subscription. When I deleted them off of the cloud it nuked them from all my devices too, I was very lucky I'd copied them onto another folder first or they would've all been lost. This is completely unacceptable and no other cloud storage service I've ever used has done this.

The MacOS app is painfully barebones as well. I'd like more control over how it syncs files as well as some information on what it's actually doing when it says its syncing. Sometimes I'd make changes to a file and Proton Drive would fail to sync the changes. Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive and iCloud all do this without fail.

Lastly, and I'm not sure if this is a Proton Drive issue or some weird shit going on with my Mac, but I couldn't copy folders out of Proton Drive and onto other parts of my harddrive. It just wouldn't work. I could do it for individual files, and I could copy folders from anywhere else to anywhere else, but not from Proton. This made is very, very difficult to move my data out of Proton Drive. I even gave Proton Drive full disk access in my settings, so I'm not sure wtf was going on.

Normally I don't complain about this sort-off stuff online but I felt like typing this up here. If anyone from Proton reads this please fix your shit. If anyone considering the service reads this; consider yourself warned.
