Proton Drive Description

Proton Drive's early access offers a secure cloud storage solution with end-to-end encryption, making it ideal for protecting confidential documents using the same encryption technology as Proton Mail and Proton Calendar. While we are continuously enhancing Proton Drive with additional features, the current early access version proves beneficial for various applications, including:

- Safely backing up important documents like medical records, financial statements, and identification copies.
- Storing files in a cloud environment with end-to-end encryption for easy access across multiple devices.

Unlike many conventional cloud storage providers, such as Google Drive, which may monitor and analyze your files for profit or share your data with third parties, Proton Drive ensures that your data is encrypted on your device prior to being uploaded to our secure servers. This process guarantees that we cannot view your files, and we maintain a strict policy against data surveillance, refraining from monetizing your information through advertisements. Our commitment to user privacy remains unwavering as we strive to offer a trustworthy cloud storage alternative.

    File Sharing Option: Excellent, but quirky

    Edited: May 31 2022

    Summary: Using the Drive is great for personal use, not for Sharing, but the latter is one of the critical services associated with online storage.

    Positive: The 'share' link leads recipients to a page with two options: Download Folder and Get your own Proton Drive.

    The shared folder is linked to the second option, not the first. But not reliably, only for those already logged in to the Proton service. For anyone else, the first option must be used, and then many more steps to access the actual file(s).

    Negative: The link sharing is quite non-intuitive. Download Folder is what somebody new to the service will do, when sent a link to a shared folder. But to get to the actual shared files, you have to jump through hoops (download a zipped file, unzip it).

    New to Proton

    Edited: Sep 02 2022

    Summary: I've been using their [paid] VPN and it seems solid. As I said above, their e-mail and their cloud storage is easy to use and it's nice to have the three services integrated into one provider.

    Positive: The web page designs are fresh, uncluttered and easy to read. I currently use MEGA and I'm considering paying Proton for full-service VPN, e-mail and Drive combined. The price for 500 GB of combined storage is around $7 / month prepaid on a 2-year basis. I think that's very reasonable if you're willing to commit.

    I'm not a sharer but a daily user of cloud storage and Proton Drive's features suit me very well.

    Negative: Having to pay for 2 years in advance presumes a willingness to commit. I understand it's a business model but MEGA provides 400 GB (cloud storage only) for about the same ($6) month-to-month.
