Communication & CollaborationProton Drive
End-to-end encrypted cloud storage that keeps your files private by design.
Proton Drive is an encrypted cloud storage service from Proton AG that ensures even Proton itself cannot read the files stored on its servers. It is designed for teams and individuals who handle sensitive documents, source code, contracts, or client files and cannot accept the privacy trade-offs of mainstream cloud storage providers. Unlike Google Drive or Dropbox, which encrypt files in transit and at rest but retain the ability to decrypt them, Proton Drive applies end-to-end encryption so that decryption keys never leave the user's device. It is particularly relevant for software teams dealing with NDA materials, security research, or regulated industries where data residency and access control matter. The Professional plan adds team sharing capabilities, version history, and centralized billing.
Security-focused teams, consultancies, and companies in regulated industries that store or share sensitive files and need verifiable privacy guarantees rather than just vendor assurances. The right time to adopt Proton Drive is when you realize your current cloud storage provider could technically access your files, or when a client contract or compliance audit requires demonstrable encryption controls.

Proton Drivein depth.
End-to-End Encryption by Default
Every file is encrypted on your device before upload using keys that only you control. Proton has no technical ability to access file contents, which meaningfully differentiates it from most cloud storage alternatives.
Secure File Sharing with Password Protection
Shared links can be protected with a password and set to expire after a defined date. This gives teams fine-grained control over who can access a shared file and for how long, without exposing files to anyone with the link.
File Version History
Previous versions of files are retained so teams can recover earlier drafts or roll back accidental overwrites. This is particularly useful for documents and design files that go through frequent revision cycles.
Cross-Platform Sync
Desktop sync clients for macOS and Windows keep local folders in sync with Proton Drive, mirroring the familiar behavior of Dropbox or Google Drive. Mobile apps for iOS and Android round out access across devices.
Swiss Jurisdiction and Open Source Clients
All apps are open source and have been audited by independent security firms. Swiss data protection law governs the infrastructure, offering a legal backstop on top of the technical privacy guarantees.
Proton Drive is part of the integrated Proton ecosystem alongside Proton Mail, Proton VPN, and Proton Pass, allowing organizations to consolidate their privacy-focused tooling under one account and billing relationship. In a broader stack it functions as the secure file layer, complementing tools like Notion or Confluence for knowledge management with a storage backend that enforces stronger access controls.
Commonuse cases.
Storing and sharing confidential client deliverables
Agencies and consultancies can store final deliverables, contracts, and proprietary research in Proton Drive and share them with clients via password-protected links. The client gets easy access without the team needing to trust a third-party service with unencrypted file access.
Backing up sensitive credentials and internal documentation
Teams can store internal runbooks, environment configuration templates, and security documentation in Proton Drive where even a data breach at the provider level would not expose readable content. This is a meaningful risk reduction compared to standard cloud storage.
Complying with data protection obligations for regulated clients
Companies working with healthcare, legal, or financial clients that impose data handling requirements can point to Proton Drive's end-to-end encryption and Swiss jurisdiction as documented controls. This simplifies compliance conversations without requiring on-premise infrastructure.
