The caveat about Proton Drive links keeping metadata intact is important and easy to miss. I've seen people think switching to a privacy-focused email automatically handles everything, but these edge cases matter. The screenshot workaround is actually pretty clever for quick shares, though obviously you lose quality. What I appreciate here is that it's not just feature advertising; the alternative methods get equal treatment. Honestly Proton's approach of making privacy the default instead of asking users to remember manual steps each time is the only way these features actully get used long-term.
“use apps like Metapho (iPhone) or Scrambled Exif (Android) to remove metadata before sharing”
Gold! These really can do a lot too preserve privacy. Great post. Direct and to the point with actionable advice :)
Appreciate it! 🙏

The screenshot workaround is one of our favorite moves. So simple.
