alt Hacker NewsThe Proton Drive app keeps asking me to turn on backups of photos and video. There is no option to say "don't ask again."
I guess they /want/ more storage to be used? Or is there a support issue they are trying to deal with?

Yes Google constantly asks me to backup my pictures to their platform No, I don't want this. But regularly when I go to my photos it'll pop up with a box asking and the default option is yes please back up. Sad.

"Consent" has become this mystical foreign concept to software developers. If the world of computing was a night club, "Silicon Valley" would be that creepy guy who goes up to everyone asking "Do you want to dance? [YES | Ask Me Later]".
They probably want to avoid situations where a customer turns off backups, then loses data and makes it the problem of support.
But it would be nice to have a "don't ask again" option regardless, even if it's hidden in settings.
