Firefox does the same thing, and I can see the reasoning behind it.

Well, AFIAK ProtonMail doesn't have business accounts yet, they say they will be adding them soon though.

Sorry for the late response. Nextcloud is super easy to install. It is as simple as extracting the zip file in your web server directory.

You don't need more hardware to run it either. I have mine running on a raspberry pi 3.

No, from what I can tell it is them asking not to be sued to for providing the service they signed up for. That is, looking at your social media profiles to verify your identity across profiles.

Even if it did mean that, it would be of 0 use to them because they are fully end-to-end encrypted

I have recently given up Google and most of it's products. And I find some of the things on this list are not relevant for the average person. Here is my personal list:

Google Search (DuckDuckGo) Gmail (ProtonMail) YouTube (There's pretty much nothing because of the networking effect YouTube has. But, if you just want something to share videos, there's Media Goblin) Google Drive (NextCloud) Google Keep (Wallabag/Pocket) Google Maps (OpenStreetMap) Google Calendar & Contacts (NextCloud) Google Docs (LibreOffice Online)
