Hi Proton team,

I'm a high school student from France, and a happy Proton user. I've migrated my entire digital life to Proton (Mail, Drive, Pass, Authenticator) and I create tutorial content on YouTube focused on console modding, so I rely heavily on Proton Drive to host and share my project files.

However, I noticed that Proton Drive Plus is currently not included in the student discount program on Student Beans, while Mail Plus, VPN Plus, and Unlimited are. As a student on a tight budget, the full monthly price for Drive Plus is difficult to justify, and the Unlimited plan, even with the student discount, is beyond what I can afford right now.

Adding Drive Plus to the student discount program would:

• Make encrypted cloud storage accessible to more students who primarily need file storage
• Encourage younger users to adopt privacy-first tools early on
• Fill a gap in the current student offering, since students who only need storage (not VPN or Mail features) have no affordable discounted option

I'm sure many other students would benefit from this. I'd love to see Drive Plus added to the Student Beans offers, even as a limited-time 12-month discount like the other plans.

Thank you for considering this suggestion, and thank you for building privacy-first tools that students like me can trust.

Best regards, A French student
