# Proton Drive

Canonical: https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/528701/Proton-Drive

> Proton Drive is the leading fully-private alternative to Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 — an end-to-end encrypted cloud storage and collaboration ecosystem designed for businesses to build in private.

Trusted by 100,000+ organizations worldwide, Proton Drive gives teams everything they need to store, sync, share, and collaborate, without ever exposing their data to breaches, ransomware, or unauthorized access.

Zero-access encryption — Protect all files, documents, and spreadsheets with end-to-end encryption by default, so only you and authorized users can access them. Not even Proton can access your data.

Proton Docs \& Proton Sheets — Collaborate in real-time on documents and spreadsheets with fully encrypted tools built directly into the platform, keeping sensitive content safe from third-party access and AI training.

Secure sharing \& full access control — Share files using encrypted links with password protection, expiry dates, and revocable permissions, so you stay in complete control over who sees what and for how long.

No training on your data — Proton Drive's business model is built on subscriptions, not your data. No ads, no data harvesting, and no AI training on your assets.

Native apps for every platform — Access, store, and share any file type securely from anywhere with easy-to-use apps on Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android.

Simplified compliance — Meet the requirements of GDPR, HIPAA, and CCPA with ease. Proton Drive is also ISO 27001 certified and SOC 2 Type II attested.

Open-source \& independently audited — Trust in publicly available code and independent security audits, giving your organization verifiable confidence that our apps do exactly what we claim.

Private by design — Headquartered in Switzerland under some of the world's strongest privacy laws, Proton Drive is built with confidentiality as its core, not an add-on.

## Reviews

### "Really research this before you install it" — 2.0/5

> **Eugene** | *20 August 2026* | Medical Practice | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Not much other than the privacy. The drive loads Ok. Has a number of  features. was easy to set up. resonded quickly.
> 
> **Cons**: Did not appreciate How it changed my windows explorer file. When I deleted Drive I was really displeased with how it did not completely revert back to where it was before installation. I am now looking for a computer service company to try to clean up my laptop  and get it back to pre Proton Drive configuration.
> 
> Installed Proton Drive on Windows 11 laptop. Did not like the interface. Tried to uninstall it and ended up with a bastardized version of Windows 11 that is very difficult to manuver. My windows explorer has changed completely. If you are going to use Proton Drive from now on it is probbably OK. If you have any hesitation then don't install it. There is no simple way of completely deleting like you can with other applications,
