What is Proton Drive?
Proton Drive is a secure cloud storage service from Switzerland, built by the creators of ProtonMail with end-to-end encryption at its core. Unlike Dropbox, Google Drive, or iCloud, Proton Drive encrypts all files on your device before upload – only you and those you share with can access your data. Protected by strict Swiss privacy laws, Proton Drive enables safe file sharing through encrypted links with passwords, expiration dates, and granular permissions. The service integrates seamlessly with Proton Mail, Calendar, and VPN, providing a complete privacy-focused productivity suite.
