Disclaimer: I'm a Googler. These are my personal opinions. Email is a small part of things I care about. Moreover, there's snowflake's chance in hell I succeed at convincing every correspondent to switch to e2e encryption and off services no more trustworthy than Google or Microsoft. So, the technical premise of ProtonMail doesn't help. When it comes to Swiss privacy law... I'm already protected by GDPR. Google is a juicy and politically convenient target for most countries, so I'm not worried about its compliance. And I'd rather stick to a company with a legal team equipped to wrestle with government overreach. Finally, I feel perfectly fine trusting Google to keep my private things private. I keep copies of important documents in Drive. Realistically, the highest risk vector for them leaking is someone pwning my machine.
