How can we improve Proton Drive?

← Proton Drive

Proton Docs / collaboration suite

(folders and docs similar to GoogleDocs)

Proton mail needs some collaborative word processor and spreadsheet in a drive where people can securely work on it but only the person who owns the files can keep them and no one can download them or copy them.

  • Share and invite anyone — Invite other users to view or edit your documents with a single click.
  • Collaborate in real-time — Changes are reflected immediately, ensuring every contributor always sees the most up-to-date version.
  • View cursors and presence indicators — See who else is viewing or editing the document, enhancing teamwork and communication.
  • Leave comments and replies — Add comments to share feedback without editing the document. Comments are visible to all collaborators, keeping everyone in the loop.

    Dear Proton People,

    When are you planning to start the Proton Cloud Service? Looking forward to it!

  • Aram commented  ·   ·  Report

    Would very much would like to have proton mail cloud service as an option.

  • Kim commented  ·   ·  Report

    I love Protonmail. It's my main email service now. Can't wait for you guys to bring in a secure private encrypted cloud storage service. I just don't trust the privacy of services like Dropbox or Google cloud storage and refuse to use them. I'm sure most loyal Protonmail subscribers are praying you'll make release of Protondrive a priority.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    This would be great in the future once email and chat are solid.

  • G commented  ·   ·  Report

    This would be a very cool addition and I think that providing a free encrypted/safe place to write documents would certainly increase the number of users, and the overall user activity. What do you think?

  • Farid Hajji commented  ·   ·  Report

    You realize that it's not just about raw storage. With more storage comes (usually) more access to it. And since ProtonMail is encrypted, this means that they have to provision more CPU parallel to increasing storage, lest they run into a CPU bottleneck. This costs more (in hardware and electricity) than merely slapping additional high capacity HDDs in the servers.

  • Tom commented  ·   ·  Report

    To accelorate ProntonDrive even if it started life as a hosted version of something like OwnCloud it would be a great start.

    I work for a large Corporation. I'm the Net Admin and I also wear many other hats. I signed up for proton mail and I love it. I was so excited I told others in my department about it and some end users. the only issue with them and with me as I plan to be long time is the storage.

    storage is getting cheaper and cheaper. I just upgraded one of our file servers from 20TB to 40TB for about $500. thats HDD though. we have others with SSD and I know that would be more, but if I were to go from 5 to 10 it would be double yearly. just wish it was cheaper.

    I am considering switching from Google Drive to Nextcloud (hosted on DigitalOcean), but I am aware that I am not in a position to ensure the best maintenance of the server and I would also love ProtonMail to offer a Cloud solution in addition to the mail one.

    Any more details on ProtonDrive project mentioned here and there on Internet?

  • Gian Luca Noferi commented  ·   ·  Report

    I’ve found on the internet “ProtonDrive” which looks like a Cloud Storage service: is that you? Are you going to release such type of service? Is there any expected date? Thank you very much.

  • Steven Buytaert commented  ·   ·  Report

    I would love a secured cloud storage solution, that works also under Linux. Like e.g. Dropbox with extended file attributes and a transparent synchronization mechanism.

  • Kevin Mickle commented  ·   ·  Report

    I was just reviewing some documents I have stored in Evernote, and realized that I didn't know much about Evernote's security and privacy layers. After switching to ProtonMail, I've become much more conscientious about my online security, and I would absolutely LOVE it if Proton created an online file storage system.

    While something similar to Dropbox, OneDrive, or Google Drive would be nice, I think it would be great if they were able to incorporate features of Evernote as well; specifically, the ability to store documents with attached notes and tags. It would be a plus, but less necessary, to also have a feature for just taking quick notes directly into the drive, without needing to attach a document.

    I'm happy to see this as a Planned feature, and you'll get my money when the time comes.

  • Darren commented  ·   ·  Report

    This feature would ensure I make protonmail my primary email and use it to store all my sensitive data.

  • Phil Landmeier commented  ·   ·  Report

    This is exciting, but for me there would have to be a synchronization app for Linux like Dropbox has -- that auto-synced selected folders with the cloud.

  • Gin commented  ·   ·  Report

    hello- very excited about this! Can it include encrypted forms? thank you!

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    You have my full support for an encrypted cloud storage service. Anything to get away from Dropbox and Google Drive, keep up the great work.

  • Bob commented  ·   ·  Report

    I see ProtonDrive is marked as "Planned." Do you know when it will roll out?

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    Very good idea. Maybe you should take a look to Switchdrive, for collaboration or other. They're Swiss, like you, hosted in Switzerland, and concerned with confidentiality too.
