Hi everyone,
We have a big month behind us, and in case you haven’t been on Reddit much this June, here are the highlights:
💜 To strengthen our commitment to you and our mission, Proton is transitioning towards a non-profit structure. Most companies are created to be sold, and they achieve that by placing profit above all other considerations. For most businesses providing “services” to the masses, the easiest way to profit has been to misuse user data and engage in surveillance capitalism to the detriment of society and democracy. At Proton, we have intentionally taken a different path to achieve a more difficult mission where people come before profits.
🔑 With the addition of macOS and Linux app, as well as the Safari browser extension, Proton Pass is now available across all major platforms.
☁️ We’ve added major new functionalities to ProtonDrive, most importantly the option to share files and folders directly with your recipients by entering their email and the long-awaited photo backup functionality on our iOS app.
