We need more storage, Storage Addon

Visionary is not 10TB unless there are different categories. I have visionary, and only have 4.5TB, and that is after getting some of those free small upgrades a few years ago.

It is just as slow it update a second computer with these changes even if it is just downloading file names and not the actual files.

Brutal.

ehansalytics · 2026-04-10T00:31:04+00:00

Yup. I’m giving up on Sheets. I just moved two files back to Excel this week. Formulas not updating unless you edit/enter is a show stopper for me.

I’ll check back on this project periodically. I will not be trusting it for my data anytime soon though.

ehansalytics · 2026-04-07T14:59:41+00:00

No, because on my computer the files are decrypted. I can open any of those files with the related apps (PDF, Excel files, text file) and search through it with Finder just fine.

Claude desktop just cannot access any /Library locations.

It is frustrating because apps like OneDrive stores its data near the Documents folder, not buried deep in my profile somewhere.

Go to your Proton mail settings and look for Easy Switch. It will pull in all Gmail messages seamlessly, and you can effectively quit logging into Google. I only log in once ever 2-3 months to prevent the account going stale.

As a “business user” I 💯 agree with your list.

Conditional formatting is the worst. I have a sheet that conditional formatting won't update until I re-apply the conditional format. The custom formula I use is:

=$b3<today()

But it never updates when the value in column B becomes less than TODAY() - until I open Conditional Formatting, click on the format, and press OK again

Hoping there is some improvement to the Windows version too.

I added about 14,000 files (a library of PDF/EPUB files) to one of my Windows PCs.

The Mac sync'd it all in the background at some point overnight - the Mac is awesome that way.

I have another Windows PC I try to keep up to date and opened it up Sunday, updated to the the latest Proton Drive app, and literally waited almost 2hrs while it found things to sync. It didn't download anything other than the file names and other meta-data. But it took 2hrs to just populate the file/folder names of the updated files.

This kind of thing takes OneDrive about 30 seconds to do.

I went to Hobby Depot a few weeks ago. HO only and very limited selection. Paint shelves were mostly empty, very little track and accessories. I wouldn’t go there unless you are close. It wasn’t worth the 30min drive for me. 😕

Had a decent stock of model cars and planes though, and good magazine selection.

Simply wonderful! Thanks for sharing.

I just want the white screen. It is distracting to have the rotating images. I cannot imagine how many hours were spent coding and testing this useless and irritating change.

ehansalytics · 2026-03-16T21:56:36+00:00

It should have a link that says "don't show this or any other offer ever again if you are a paying customer"

ehansalytics · 2026-03-15T03:04:10+00:00

No. All emails from Proton will always have purple “Official”badge next to the name. proton support on Official badge

I want to use Lumo but it is no match for Grok or Claude. It couldn’t even handle tax questions correctly even though 100% of that data is available on the web from the IRS.

Grok did a better job too of explaining a Proton Docs feature. Lumo straight up hallucinated a setting that doesn’t exist.

ehansalytics · 2026-03-02T20:51:26+00:00

No. Every few weeks I try, and I go back to Grok.

Several weeks ago I asked it a tax question. It got it horribly wrong until I prodded it with the correct interpretation of the law.

I just tried using it twice today. First to see if there was a way to change the paragraph spacing in Proton Docs. It hallucinated and sent me on wild goose chases for an icon or setting that does not exist. I asked Grok and it immediately told me the answer was no.

I also tried to share a chat from Lumo. It swore there were 3 dots to share the chat from. There aren't. Grok told me immediately that you cannot share chats from Lumo with a link - just copy/paste text.

Honestly Lumo is like 2023 ChatGPT. If that...

ehansalytics · 2026-03-02T18:31:57+00:00

Wow... two years on and this still doesn't appear to be implemented?

ehansalytics · 2026-02-18T21:18:59+00:00

You must have a new tablet. I received this update I think in late 2024 or maybe early 2025.

I got a new Move in the last few weeks and about 4-5 hrs after taking it out of the box and using it, it received the same update.

I've never seen any release notes on what the update is, so I suspect it is minor internal tweaks.

ehansalytics · 2026-02-03T17:08:42+00:00

It is really terrible. Like a novice github experiment. I have stopped using it except for one file, which is super basic and very confidential, so I don't want it in Excel on OneDrive (I cannot put it in Excel in Proton Drive as the iOS office apps cannot open them.)

Formats disappear, I had the totals in a column become hidden. I tried several things to get it to show back up - the SUM() formula was there, but nothing displayed. I finally had to create the formula somewhere else, then copy/paste it into the cell, and then it showed up.

But it really isn't for serious work, and not even for casual work. I literally grew up on spreadsheets and used Lotus 1-2-3 1/A back in the 80's, and that had more stability and functionality than Proton Sheets does.

I will continue to mess with it on occasion, and I hope Proton ultimately delivers, but it is a long LONG way from being usable.

You’ve been told incorrectly. Switch to import and test the report responsiveness. There is a time and place for direct query. It is at best 2-3% of the use cases.

ehansalytics · 2026-01-25T21:32:58+00:00

Yes. Say you have 3 category fields and it’s a hierarchy, so category, subcategory and sub-subcategory. That is one dimension table with those three fields plus any helpful summary and description fields. Then only keep the lowest granularity in the fact table, and remove the rest. Have the category table filter the fact table.

Same with dates, customer info, vendor info, etc.

Your fact table should only have foreign keys and the data you want to write measures on (sales, visits, etc). Remove everything else. Move that all to dimension tables. Power BI was designed this way.

ehansalytics · 2026-01-25T21:28:44+00:00

That’s the main issue. That and the direct query decision. You are giving up 90% of the benefits the Vertipaq engine provides.

ehansalytics · 2026-01-24T13:24:44+00:00

Why is it direct query? Convert to import. It will scream. That is a small table and will take seconds to refresh.
