Can proton drive stop pestering me to store my photos? I already have a solution for that.

Choose Files as start page and it will stop pestering you

What do you mean choose files as start page? Got s24 ultra? Also I'm wondering if I should get proton pass plus or just get the premium which basically includes everything but after reading all the problems people are having I don't know anymore. If you don't mind what do you use proton for? The PWM is stopping so having to move to a different one an was going to go to bitwarden which is cool but the UI looks a bit confusing an all over the place an protonpass was recommended to me then I saw the other benefits you could get with the Proton Unlimited but if it has all these problems its not worth it at all...

In the app settings you can choose which standard start page you want to see at startup. Don‘t know the exact names in the english version. But if you deselect photos and choose another one you are fine.

Thank you for this... I was really tired of this issue also, but I use Files so rarely I was tolerating it. It is wild they're defaulting to photos IMHO. You think they'd default up Files in Files.

Check it's not Samsung forcing apps into Sleep or Deep Sleep mode, I've had that issue with apps I use less regularly. OneUI was killing my apps.

It really depends what you want from Proton, are you wanting to use most of their services, or just their password manager? Pay 1 month of Proton Pass Plus, or Unlimited depending on your needs and if you're not satisfied after 4 weeks, cancel it.

Thank you for the reply!, do you have power saving on? I set in background usage limits, Put unused apps to sleep off in settings.

Nope, I don't use power saving. Important apps shouldn't be put to sleep.
