Free Mail Storage Upgrade to 1GB (Usually 500MB) @ ProtonMail

I know many of you have been using Proton mail as the primary email for low volume high security requirements (banks, financial, gov, identity etc.) with the 500 MB free tier. Here’s a chance to increase that to 1 GB by following the below steps from your existing account. This may work for new accounts as well, but I have not tried.

Here are four actions you can take:

• Import your emails and contacts
• Send your first message
• Set up a recovery method
• Try their mobile app (available on iOS and Android)

Once you have taken these four actions within 30 days, they will upgrade your storage to 1 GB.

You can complete actions and keep track of your progress by logging in to your ProtonMail account on the web app(mail.protonmail.com) and selecting the gift icon at the bottom left of your inbox.

If you don’t know what protonmail is, or compare it with generous free tier of other ‘free’ email providers, this deal may not be for you.

Update:

• This works for new users too 
• If any one is interested in a paid version, they have listed EOY offer (though this could be ongoing) for Proton mail Plus @ USD ~50 p.a here(protonmail.com). The paid version of ProtonMail enables you to have 5 GB inbox space, a shorter email address (e.g., yourname@pm.me), IMAP support, auto-responder, more labels & filters for better inbox organization, etc.
