Safeguard memories with automatic photo backup
Your favorite memories deserve to be cherished, not lost. Proton Drive’s automatic photo backup ensures that, even if your device is damaged or stolen, your photos will still be safe in the cloud.
How automatic photo backup works
Proton Drive’s automatic photo backup uploads your photos and videos to a secure cloud at regular intervals.
Get started by downloading the Proton Drive app for iOS or Android. Go to Photos, and tap Turn on backup.
Share photos and videos on your terms
At Proton, we put you in charge. Your files can only be shared or accessed on your terms — with complete privacy and security at every step.
Control who can access your photos and when
With Proton Drive, you can share photos with secure file sharing links, set passwords or expiry dates, and revoke access at any time.
Send your favorite moments freely and in HD
Unlike other cloud storage providers, we don’t impose file-size limits or restrict the number of times your contacts can download them.
