Give it a try and see. I'm currently looking at moving from them, I shifted everything google workspace to proton in Nov and my main issue has been with Drive the whole time. The email is ok, but as it's all encrypted the search is next to useless.

What's your issue with Drive?

Also, you can enable better search, it's just gonna take a while at first to download and decrypt your content in your browser to be able to search it

I've just had ongoing problems since the start. I had ~100gb from Google Drive and it hasn't been able to sync it all, the software constantly gets stuck (like it says it's syncing, but if I close it and reopen it says "last synced 2 days ago", etc), when I check on mobile some files are there and others aren't. At one point they even gave me some custom script to run, I can't remember what it did now.

It probably works well for a lot of people but in my experience it isn't ready yet, and unfortunately it will get compared to Google Drive which it isn't at the same level as yet.
