Question 2

What specifically is encrypted on Proton Drive?

Accepted Answer

Proton Drive uses end-to-end encryption: File contents, filenames, and folder names are all encrypted with your private key before leaving your device. As we don't have access to your private key, we cannot access the files you upload to Proton Drive. Only you can access your data. This is known as zero-access encryption. Please note that while the contents and names of your files are end-to-end encrypted, certain fields, such as file size, are not encrypted. We do this to enable certain server functions, such as sorting. Learn more about the Proton Drive security model
