Reading along

Proton Mail: The Definitive Guide is about your inbox. This book is about the rest of the account: Pass, Authenticator, Drive, Calendar and VPN, with a shorter look at Wallet, Lumo and Meet.

For each app it sets out what is protected and what isn't, how to move in from Google, Apple, Microsoft or another password manager, and how to use it day to day. It ends with help for families, a 30-day plan and two checklists. Advanced sections are marked, and you can skip them.

Prefer to move off Google using a mix of services? That's De-Google Your Life. To run these things on your own hardware instead, that's Be Your Own Cloud.
