What it is

Your data, your rules Proton provides easy-to-use encrypted email, calendar, file storage, VPN, and much more, built on the principle of your data, your rules.

Intent

I need it when

Collaborate on documents and spreadsheets with team members while keeping all data encrypted and private

Proton Docs and Proton Sheets enable real-time collaborative editing with end-to-end encryption. Users can share documents via secure links, track changes, add comments, and work together without exposing data to Proton or external parties. All edits are encrypted automatically.

Organize and access all personal data (email, calendar, files, passwords) from one encrypted ecosystem across multiple devices

Proton Drive integrates with Proton Mail, Calendar, Pass, and Docs within a single account. Users can access all services across desktop, tablet, and mobile with automatic syncing. One Proton Account provides unified encrypted access to communications, scheduling, storage, and authentication across all devices.

Migrate from Google Drive or OneDrive while preserving data privacy and avoiding vendor lock-in

Proton offers Easy Switch tool to import files, emails, and calendars from Google, Outlook, or other providers with automatic encryption. Users can transfer their data in bulk and maintain control without relying on proprietary formats, supporting portability and reducing dependence on any single vendor.

Store sensitive files and photos with military-grade encryption and maintain full privacy from cloud providers

Proton Drive provides end-to-end encrypted cloud storage where only the user holds decryption keys. Files are encrypted before upload, ensuring Proton cannot access user data. This protects against data breaches, surveillance, and unauthorized access by third parties or governments.

Securely share files with external parties without exposing personal email or creating unencrypted copies

Proton Drive's secure file sharing allows users to generate encrypted shareable links with optional password protection and expiration dates. Recipients can access files without needing a Proton account, and the user maintains control over access permissions and can revoke them anytime.

Drop

Not a fit when

  • User requires unlimited storage without subscription commitment; Proton Drive caps storage at 500 GB even on highest paid tier
  • User needs real-time collaboration on spreadsheets with advanced formulas; Proton Sheets is new and feature-limited compared to Google Sheets or Excel
  • User operates in jurisdiction with data residency requirements outside Switzerland; Proton stores data in Swiss data centers only
  • User requires integration with third-party enterprise tools like Salesforce or SAP; Proton Drive ecosystem is limited to Proton-native applications
  • User needs AI-powered document analysis or advanced OCR; Proton Docs does not offer these capabilities
