Proton Drive as a backup location
community.home-assistant.io
Amazing to see the progress that Home Assistant has made with backups, nice to see the first integrations adding their backup locations. I would love to be able to store my Home Assistant backups in Proton Drive. I think their API is very limited (most people integrate with it via rsync) and am wondering about 2 things: Is it possible to provide this at the quality level required for an official integration? If so, how? If not, is an add-on feasible? Is there enough demand for this to be wort...

      I just want to say,what is up with people down voting a perfectly innocuous comment? You got two down votes as of this writing.

      I left to Tuta (E2EE and German based) and switched from Simple Login to Addy. Took less than an hour and it’s been smooth sailing.

        Addy user here! Been using it for years now and just last week, I saw an uptick in one of my aliases. Turned it off with a single toggle and no more spam.

        The ability to self-host is awesome if I ever get to that stage. But right now, I want to keep giving them money.

      Posteo.de if you don’t need a custom domain, Mailbox.org if you do.

      For cloud storage it should be a different service anyways, it’s best not to combine things with the same company. So for example Tresorit for storage, Bitwarden for passwords, Mullvad for a VPN, etc…

          Proton is only encrypted between proton users. Proton mail to/from gmail or outlook is plain text, unless the recipient sets up PGP, and you can do E2EE with PGP over any host.

            All mail is typically encrypted in transit with smtps, and Proton mail is encrypted at rest. But that’s true, it’s not e2ee, so I guess they could just scrape it all as it comes in, if they’re not doing so already.

            Both companies are based in Europe though so I figure US spying laws don’t apply?

        Great advice, do not put all your eggs in one basket. Makes it easier to jump ship when it’s only one service.

      For what? I’m using Nextcloud self hosted on unraid and exposed via Nginx Proxy Manager for external access for storage.

      Works fine.

      I have not upgraded to the 2025 HA yet because of the backup drama of the first release. Probably will this weekend now that the major issues were addressed.

      Unrelated to this topic but also zigbee2mqtt v2 seems to be a nightmare too I’m not ready to deal with that “upgrade”
