Encrypted file sharing gives you privacy and peace of mind
Unlike other file sharing services, Proton Drive protects your files with end-to-end encryption. This means your data is secure from the moment you upload it until it's opened by the recipient.
Whether sharing personal photos or business documents, encrypted file sharing protects your files from hacks, data breaches, and surveillance.
Share the way you want with total control
Proton Drive gives you flexible file sharing options. You can send any type of file to anyone, even if they don’t have a Proton Drive account. Our encryption makes Proton Drive the most secure file-sharing service available.
Privately share access with email
Share files and folders directly by entering the email addresses of your recipients.
It’s always end-to-end encrypted, and you have full control. Assign viewer or editor permissions, and revoke access anytime with just a click.
Share files securely with encrypted links
Share files and folders securely with friends, family, and colleagues using secure links you can generate in one click. Your shared files are end-to-end encrypted, and Proton Drive offers advanced features that allow you to limit who can access the link and for how long.
Our unique approach to file security
- Any file you upload is encrypted on your device before it is stored on our servers.
- We don’t just encrypt the contents of your files, we also encrypt metadata such as names of files and folders, file extensions, file sizes, thumbnails, and more.
- End-to-end encryption ensures no one, not even Proton, can access your shared files.
- Unlike peer-to-peer solutions, Proton Drive also ensures your IP address is never exposed to the file recipient.
Secure file sharing tailored for everyone's needs
Protect your valuable work
Big Tech file sharing options don’t protect you from data breaches because they can always scan your files. Proton Drive is built on privacy, not surveillance, so your files are end-to-end encrypted, giving you peace of mind that your personal and professional data is safe.
Defend your family’s privacy
When it comes to sharing personal photos and videos, most file-sharing services leave you exposed to hackers and Big Tech surveillance. Proton Drive’s encrypted file sharing ensures your family's privacy with a secure and easy-to-use platform. Share your precious family moments with only the people you choose.
Secure your confidential information
Handling confidential materials and sensitive documents requires the highest level of security, especially in the face of government surveillance. Proton Drive’s encrypted file sharing protects your data from unwanted risks, so only your intended recipients can access it. Communicate and transfer documents securely, preserving the confidentiality and integrity of your work.
Advanced features for secure file sharing
Revoke access in one click
Revoke access to shared files and folders at any point. This disables file sharing to prevent further access to your files.
Password protect files
For an added layer of security, you can password protect your file-sharing links, allowing you to limit access to your files to only people you’ve authorized.
Expiring share links
Set an expiration date for your file-sharing links after which the link will automatically be disabled, preventing unauthorized access.
Track access
Monitor suspicious activity after you’ve shared files and keep track of the number of times your files have been downloaded.
Built on Proton’s legacy of security and privacy
Proton Drive was built by Proton, the same company behind Proton Mail, the world’s largest encrypted email service.
Our team has experience developing and implementing advanced encryption while also creating easy to use privacy services that are used by millions.
You do not need any technical knowledge or special skill to encrypt or securely share your files. Simply upload a file and create the secure file-sharing link, and Proton Drive will handle all the encryption automatically in the background.
File sharing with Proton Drive

Create a shareable link
You can share files and folders from Proton Drive with anyone using secure shareable links. These links are generated locally in your browser, so Proton never has access to your files or folders.

Password-protect your links
For additional security, you can protect your end-to-end encrypted shareable links with a password and set an expiration date after which the link will no longer work.

Send large files and folders
You can’t send very large files or folders by email because the size of email attachments is limited. If you want to send attachments larger than 25 MB, you can share them with Proton Drive.
