As the title says, I have been using Proton Unlimited for almost a year; I mainly use Proton Pass, VPN and mail. Mail and Pass are pretty good. However, proton VPN is hit and miss because of the constant loading, slow and unreliable servers.
As the saying goes: don’t put all eggs in the same basket
I want opinions from current and previous Proton Unlimited users.
Personally, I don’t think Proton Unlimited should be considered unless it costs less than the combination of single premium products that you use from them, and even then, you should consider shopping around first.
Outside of mail, other services exist elsewhere for lower prices and similar functionality, with both privacy and otherwise. Pass: Bitwarden. SimpleLogin: AnonAddy, Ironvest*, DuckDuckGo. Drive: Filen.
And regarding things like government requests: I don’t think Proton is particularly egregious in this area, but it can’t hurt to limit the amount of data they have about you, the number of times you visit their server, etc. For example, maybe Bitwarden receives government requests too, but Bitwarden will never be able to passively intercept your email. Separation
* this is the one I use the most, although I find the free email plan to almost always be enough for my needs
