Sorry, but there's really nothing to see here right now. Our server is in maintenance mode – and our
little bot is trying to sort the error messages with its last bit of energy.
Whether it was a data leak, a power outage in the cluster, or just a grumpy bit – we don't know yet.
But what we do know is:
The data drama escalated into a server meltdown. But don't worry: We're on it.
What now?
Everything is surely running smoothly over at our colleagues from inside
digital – why not stop by!
Or you could pass the time by visiting our social media channels – for example Instagram, YouTube or TikTok. At least there are no
server problems there – promised.
Thanks for your patience. Our bot is already rebooting at full speed. 🔧
If you’re looking for an alternative to iCloud or Google One storage to backup your photos on your iPhone, there is now a new option. Following the launch of photo backup in Proton Drive on Android last year, the Swiss company has announced the availability of the same backup feature for iPhones.

Similar to Android, the automatic photo and video backup feature is integrated into the Proton Drive app. You will be able to find a dedicated Photo tab added to the Files and Shared tabs while you can also view your media on the web. There is also an offline mode to keep your photos and videos accessible without an internet connection.
Proton touted added privacy and security with its photo backup service. It says the Proton Drive uses end-to-end encryption to store photos and videos between your device and the cloud.
As for the pricing structure, Proton offers free 5GB storage for all iPhone users via the Proton Drive app while it bundles other services with other higher tier plans. The basic plan begins at $3.99/month (€3.99/month) which nets you 200 GB of storage and vision history. The latter is a feature that saves up to 200 revisions of your file.
The next tier has 500 GB of storage space and costs $9.99/month (€9.99/month). This comes with Proton’s services like Proton Mail, Proton Calendar, and Proton VPN. A shareable plan is offered at $23.99 which nets you 3 TB of storage and Proton services.
Proton’s monthly storage pricing for the 500 GB storage option is on par with Apple’s iCloud+ for the same capacity. However, iCloud+ with 200 GB is a dollar cheaper than Proton’s 200 GB storage.
Proton gained popularity with its Proton Mail service which uses end-to-end encryption back in 2014. Since then, it has launched other services that utilize its security technology, including Proton VPN.
