Mullvad is supposed to be a safe and secure VPN.
Unfortunately not a mail or storage provider.
If this wasn't enough of a wakeupcall to not put all the eggs in one basket then what is? Companies are literally doing this to lock you into their service so it's harder to switch since you then have to find X new services instead of just one.
Better go with one that'd specialized for each service you need...
Btw, unrelated to the twitter debacle, Proton's cloud app on Android, sucks ass. Can't even download an entire folder, downloading more than 25 files get glitchy and not all files get downloaded. Every other cloud provider could do that.
Posteo, Mailbox.org, and Tuta are all good alternatives.
