How to set up Proton Drive secure cloud storage
Proton Drive is our secure cloud storage and file-sharing service. Like Proton Mail, Proton Drive uses end-to-end encryption, meaning only you and those you share your files with can see or open them. Not even Proton can access them.
You can quickly and securely share files and folders of all sizes and formats using our secure shareable links.
