Encrypted file sharing for privacy and peace of mind
Unlike other file-sharing services, Proton Drive protects your files with end-to-end encryption — shielding your personal photos and professional documents from hackers, data breaches, and surveillance.
Share your files on your terms
Proton Drive’s flexible file-sharing options put you in control. Send files of any size or type to anyone — even if they don’t have a Proton Drive account
Share via email
Send invitations to access your files and folders directly to the email addresses of your recipients. You can assign viewer or editor permissions and revoke access at any time.
Share via link
