Proton Drive 2024 Recap
This year, Proton Drive introduced over 50 new features that make it easier than ever to connect, collaborate, and protect your files.
From encrypted documents and streamlined photo back-ups, to robust sharing and collaboration tools, each new addition was guided by our community and our shared commitment to making privacy the default.
50+ features for better privacy and collaboration
Take greater control over your data. We introduced new ways to shield your files while simplifying how you share and work on them with others.
100% of our code is now public
Feel confident about your privacy. Proton Drive’s mobile, desktop, and web apps are now open source, so you can review the code that safeguards your data.
1 billion photos uploaded and secured
You’re among the millions who trust Proton Drive. This year, you helped break a Proton record, showing how much secure storage matters.
Your words — securely encrypted
This year, Docs in Proton Drive provided everyone with a much-needed secure alternative to online editors that leave your work vulnerable to prying eyes.
Now, you can brainstorm your next big idea or record your most private thoughts knowing every keystroke is safeguarded with end-to-end encryption.
Keep everyone on the same page
Gather input from colleagues, partners, or clients — no matter where they are. Docs lets multiple people view and edit the same document at the same time, syncing changes instantly.
Track changes and suggestions
Work through a draft or gather feedback without losing the original text. Docs is now the only end-to-end encrypted online document editor that allows suggested edits.
Access Docs from everywhere
Take your writing sessions on the road. With Docs now available on Proton Drive’s iOS and Android apps, you can now edit, review, and respond anytime, anywhere.

Collaboration on your terms
2024 brought new ways to send files and work with others while keeping your data private and secure at every step of the way.
Share your files your way
Whether sending sensitive work documents to colleagues or treasured family photos to loved ones, you can now choose between secure sharing links or email invitations to ensure your private content stays private. Maintain control over who accesses your files and how.
Manage shared files with freedom
Need to work on a team project during a flight? With the new Shared with me folder on Proton Drive for Windows, you can open, edit, and organize files that others have shared with you right from your desktop while maintaining end-to-end encryption — even when offline.
Driving your business forward
From start-ups collaborating on new product launches to legal teams crafting confidential contracts, every file deserves the strongest privacy protections.
With the launch of Proton Drive for Business, your team can now update critical documents, simplify GDPR and HIPAA compliance, and protect sensitive corporate communications — no matter where your colleagues are located.
Features like enforced two-factor authentication and advanced AI-powered account access monitoring keep your operations running smoothly, earning clients’ trust and elevating your professional reputation.
