Proton Drive For Business Reviews & Product Details

I can access my files on any device, including uploading files from my phone. I can work directly on the files on desktop, and seamlessly integrate them with my personal files (but control access by limiting permissions). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Limited space, which could become a problem when I start accumulating a lot of art and video files, but that's expected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The end-to-end encryption gives me genuine confidence that my business files are private, not just from hackers but from Proton themselves. I run multiple ecommerce brands and deal with a lot of sensitive documents like supplier agreements, invoices, VAT filings, and product research, so knowing that everything is zero-knowledge encrypted at rest is a huge selling point. I also love that it integrates with the rest of the Proton ecosystem, so my email, passwords, storage, and VPN are all under one roof with one consistent privacy standard. The ability to use it as a cloud backup destination via tools like rclone makes it genuinely useful as part of a proper redundant backup strategy, not just a basic file locker.

The desktop and web apps still feel a step behind competitors like Google Drive or Dropbox in terms of speed and polish. Syncing can be a bit sluggish with larger file sets, and the lack of deep third party integrations means it doesn't slot into every workflow as seamlessly as I'd like. I'd also love to see better collaboration features like real time document editing and more flexible sharing controls, especially for working with external partners who aren't on Proton.

I do not ever worry about if I have enough storage, I likely will never run out. I love knowing that my data is protected in my most prized documents. It truly feels like Google's workspace (spreadsheets, docs, slides, etc) but actually safe. I think people underestimate truly how high of standards this company has.

I don't have much. The usual download file type is not a .pdf, it is their own extension. So I need to manually change it. But that's the case with other similar applications too, so not really an issue at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've never been as convinced that in-cloud-storage is as good an ideas as so many folks think... I'm not a fan of investing lots of files into cloud-storage, only to find that I've closed that account with that vendor, or some other thing interrupts cloud-storage access. That said, Proton Drive seems to meet and match the functional features of others like DropBox, One Drive, Google Drive, etc., without the concerns over who owns my data (I'd trust Google or Microsoft not at all in this regard). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Generally, the same thing that makes me distrust or just not use cloud-storage for "all my files" -- Seems like an all-eggs-in-one-basket solution to a problem I really don't have. I much prefer having sufficient local storage, with a good online/cloud backup service/solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can securely share sensitive documents, control the password, and expiration and know that Proton does not have gigantic AI ambitions and is ready to train or learn from my data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not that many people know about Proton so they are unfamiliar with it. There needs to be a standardized way to share the password to a secure drive or clear instructions or better a built in method or protocol to keep the password safe yet easily sent to recipient.

I like that the switch was pretty straightforward from google. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike that the desktop app does not let me move files into proton drive easily, I dislike that there is no presentation option (maybe allow for an integration with canva or something, and the formatting transfer from google docs for tables in docs was sloppy. Also sharing is less straightforward with collaborators. And if there is a desktop app, it is not easy to find. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The end-to-end encryption is the main reason to use it. Knowing that files, metadata, and user data are completely secure gives great peace of mind when handling confidential business documents and client information. The web interface is clean, file uploading is straightforward, and the link-sharing feature with password protection works flawlessly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While the security is top-tier, the collaboration features feel a bit limited compared to mainstream alternatives. Real-time co-editing isn't as smooth as it could be, and the syncing speed on the desktop app can occasionally lag when handling large batches of documents. It requires a bit of patience if you are managing massive folder structures. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The absolute best part is the zero-knowledge, end-to-end encryption. Knowing that our business files are completely secure and private before they even leave our devices is a massive advantage. I also love how well it integrates with the rest of the Proton ecosystem, making it easy to share files securely right alongside our mail and passwords. Plus, it’s great to see that the platform is constantly being improved. They are regularly rolling out new features and updates, which shows they are genuinely committed to making it a top-tier business tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The standard file management still feels a bit too basic for heavy business use. It really lacks advanced search capabilities, quick filtering options, and the ability to manage and organize large batches of files efficiently all at once.

​Also, as someone dealing with heavy media, I really wish they offered a true unlimited storage plan. Right now, I'm limited when it comes to backing up hundreds of large video files from my drone and Insta360 cameras. To make things even better, I'd love to see a built-in media player that fully supports 360-degree footage—complete with pinching, zooming, and panning. Having that kind of functionality integrated directly into a secure cloud would turn Proton Drive into a perfect, private alternative to platforms like YouTube for sharing raw footage with clients.

Since I'm trying to switch to Proton and ditch Google, I like that the Business plan comes with docs, spreadsheets, and some storage. I am moving my Drive files over. The interface is clean and easy to use--it matches all the Proton products. You can also store photos in a special folder, and there are share settings. Since I am not a Docs power user, I think it will have everything I need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like more storage space, which comes with plan upgrades. I also think Proton has a lot to do to catch up to Google docs and spreadsheets, but again, I don't use these apps much. I mainly have used Drive for storage so far, and it has enough space for my needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I work with a lot of confidential client information. Using Proton gives assurance to clients that I take that privacy and confidentiality seriously.

The Backup feature also helps keep the files on my work computers safe while working in the background.

Proton Drive is also feature rich, giving my company the advanced options we need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am not very experienced with how to use the Backup features in any drive-backup platform and it doesn't provide a lot of instruction. Found out I was using it the wrong way, but after some experimenting I discovered the correct way to set it up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
