Contacts, Tasks & Drive
ActiveSync is makes breeze of syncing from mobile devices specially.
Additional CardDav & CalDav are available.
#Drive
Literally very tiny one, 100 MB for basic version, it’s not Tresorit or SpiderOak alternative. Any way there are other plans get more storage.
Office
It does pretty decent job, from doc formatting to spreadsheet. Handles open document format
PGP Main Stream
Inbox encryption
Similar to StartMail, Posteo.de
Unlike to Protonmail, Tutanota.de walled behind custom software and apps.
