Proton Drive review: Secure your files and photos with end-to-end encryption
May 15, 2025
“Proton Drive Plus maximizes cloud security at an affordable price, particularly if you subscribe to other Proton services.”
Pros
Strong end-to-end encryption and privacy
Good cross-platform support
Convenient web app for file access
Easy file and folder sharing by users or a link
Built-in document editor with collaboration
Cons
Photo gallery isn't searchable
Windows app lacks photo access
If you’ve been questioning whether Google Drive, iCloud, and OneDrive are secure enough for your personal data, Proton Drive could be the answer you’re looking for. It’s great that computers and phones come with easy backup and syncing options, but eventually, you could need more.
The best cloud storage services ensure privacy, enhance security, and more at competitive prices. I researched the security of Proton Drive’s free and paid plans, then went hands-on to review the features and ease of use to confirm its quality and long-term value.
Tiers and pricing
Proton Drive subscriptions start at $5 monthly, but it’s unlikely you’ll want to stop accessing the files and photos you’ve uploaded after only a month. The best cloud storage deals require a commitment of at least a year.
An annual subscription to Proton Drive Plus costs $48 for 200 GB of cloud storage with end-to-end encryption for maximum security. That’s 24 cents per GB, a bit higher than most cloud storage. However, it includes an online document editor that stores previous versions of files so you can revert to an earlier draft of a document. It’s similar to how you can revert files in Google Docs.
