 Wow, that's neat. Need to try. I love Proton and their products. 
The only Drive that I don't like tho. 

But currently I just use Telegram wallet tbh and Ledger.

 What's Telegram wallet? And I would toss that Ledger if I was you.

 There is a @wallet in Telegram. Custodial and non-custodial options. But it might be unavailable in US. 

Whats wrong about the Ledger?

 Ahh... they've had at least one data leak/comprimise that I know of. So I get phone calls from spammers on behalf of Ledger claiming to need my seed etc.

They also moved away from a self custody option to have some kind of bizarro "we hold your keys".

They're not open source (?) and Ledger Live also has telemetry that reports home to them. They promote alot of trash and now dead coins, the list goes on honestly. 

Don't get me wrong.. I've owned like 2 SE ledgers, the X, multiple Nano and the Nano S.

Oh yeah and when my nano x broke, they wanted me to mail the nano back to them! Even though they replaced/sent out a new one I was in NO WAY giving them my entire tx history etc...

I consider them a potential honeypot too for Law Enforcement. Enough reasons? 😅😁

 Ah yea TG also leaks their info to 3 letter agencies afaik. Check out the seedsigner if you want bitcoin only. Learning curve but hella secure.

 May be yeah. I still use it for files. Photos backup was a bit of fail tho.

 I also had issues with Photos initially but it’s great now
