Why Use Encrypted Cloud Storage?

Sharing large files: Most email platforms have a limit on the maximum file size for attachments. The benefit of cloud storage is that you can upload files to the server and then grant access to them to your recipient. For example, Proton Drive lets you share large files for free with no size limits.

Sharing photos: It’s never been easier to take high-quality photos, but storing and sharing them can be a logistical challenge. Using cloud storage is the easiest way to catalog your pictures. You can store almost unlimited pictures in the cloud at a relatively low cost and retrieve them indefinitely.

Sharing videos: Like photos, sharing videos is one of the biggest advantages of cloud storage. Videos are usually very large files that are difficult to send via email or other means. With Proton Drive and other cloud storage providers, you can easily back up and share large video files.

Link sharing: Different cloud services can make file sharing tricky. Link sharing solves this by letting you generate a shareable link anyone can access. In Proton Drive, you can share encrypted files via links, even with people who don’t use Proton Drive.

Backing up your data: IT professionals sometimes recommend backing up data you can’t afford to lose in four locations: on two physical drives and two cloud storage providers. Whether you go to such lengths or not, it’s a good idea to back up your data to the cloud periodically. This is useful if you ever lose your device or need to replace it.

End-to-end and Zero-Access Encryption: All files are encrypted on your device before being uploaded, ensuring that only you can access your data.

End-to-end Encryption for Metadata: Important metadata, such as file names, original file size, location data etc. is also encrypted for enhanced privacy.

Secure File Sharing: Share files and folders securely with others via email or end-to-end encrypted public links, protected by passwords and expiration dates.

Encrypted Photo Backup: Automatically back up photos from your phone with end-to-end encryption, ensuring your memories are accessible only to you.

Cross-Platform Support: Access your files seamlessly across devices—whether on desktop, mobile, or the web—all files automatically sync across platforms.

Docs in Proton Drive: Collaborate in real-time with Docs, the only truly private online document editor where every keystroke and cursor movement is end-to-end encrypted.

The Highest Privacy for your Data: Proton Drive is built for those who value their privacy. With end-to-end encryption, even Proton cannot access your files. It’s designed for individuals and businesses who want full control over their data.

Ease of Access: Automatic backups and cross-platform syncing ensure that users always have secure access to their files, whether at home, at work, or on the move.

Perfect for Professionals: Whether you’re a journalist, lawyer, or researcher, Proton Drive is designed to protect sensitive data in industries where security is critical.

Proton Ecosystem Integration: Proton Drive integrates seamlessly with Proton’s suite of services, from encrypted email to VPN, offering an all-encompassing security solution.

Open Source & Audited: Proton Drive’s encryption technology is open source and independently audited, ensuring complete transparency and allowing users to verify the security for themselves.
