Proton Drive For Business Reviews & Product Details

The best part of Proton Drive For Business is the strong focus on privacy and end-to-end encryption while still providing a modern and clean user experience. I like having a secure place to store business documents and sensitive files without relying entirely on larger data-driven platforms. The integration with the broader Proton ecosystem, including Proton Mail, makes account management and collaboration much simpler. File sharing is straightforward, performance has been solid for my use cases, and the product continues to improve quickly with regular updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Proton Drive is still a newer product compared to more established cloud storage platforms, so there are some advanced collaboration and workflow features that are still missing or less polished. Certain integrations, syncing behaviors, and team collaboration tools could be expanded further for power users and larger organizations. While the core experience is strong, there are still moments where the platform feels like it is catching up to competitors in terms of feature depth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Proton drive is a good alternative to google drive. Generally it covers anything I need to do. Mostly use it as a backup for important tax documents (which I would never do on Google Drive) and transferring files between devices in a pinch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main thing is I have never used it for collaborative document editing even if it's a feature that exists I don't know many people who use Proton so we often end up resorting to emailing a document back and forth or I have to login to the Google account I still have for YouTube and use that.

I like that the uploads are surprisingly fast for an encrypted drive service. I like that they give so much free storage. I like that the interface is very intuitive and easy to use. I like how consistently reliable it is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like the sync feature because it has a bit of a learning curve. I think it should come with a little tutorial. It's not difficult to lose files when intending to keep them synced to the cloud. This may be an issue with any cloud storage service, but I wish it had more safeguards or warnings to let you know what you were actually doing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is used for privately sharing files and managing key internal documents that require sensitivity and speed of edit where multiple people can work on them simultaneously. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The drive app doesn't allow multiple user sign ins. I've got like 4 proton accounts (each with different orgs) but I can only have 1 Proton drive login on the app (Mac). The docs in the drive don't allow for easy Microsoft Word review/edit. I like Proton Docs edit feature, but the drive should still operate as a file store for older-format files. Proton Sheets is improving (it can now operate with better stability in browser) but there are sometimes where the browser gets painfully slow using sheets.

Regular Proton Docs defaults to edit mode. I'd rather default to suggest mode. There's no way to define an editor as "suggest mode only" where they can't edit. This feature is extremely useful in Google Docs where you don't want the jr. guy from accounting blowing up your entire doc just b/c they had edit privileges. It would be better if you could define edit roles better: Owner, Editor, Suggest-Only, Review-Only. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the potential of having simple, straightforward general purpose cloud storage available for my business that can closely integrate with email. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With no Linux support it's effectively useless for my business beyond storing simple files on occasion. I'd like to be able to store backups, build data/binaries and company branding assets but without robust commandline tools and desktop apps none of these uses are possible; uploading via the browser only is unreliable and incapable of moving any large amount of data.

I use Proton Drive for storing business files that my team needs to access. I use it instead of Google Drive since my email is with Proton, so I just have one single platform for email and online file storage. There haven't been any features that I think are missing but I haven't done more than the basics of uploading and sharing files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The image thumbnails didn't all load in a folder of a lot of images that I have when I scroll (maybe 100-200 images in this folder), which makes it hard for me to see what images I have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Proton Drive integrates well with all my devices, my desktop, PC and Mac. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it's very slow and at times on my Mac I've had to exit the app altogether and re-open it. This seems to be improving as updates roll out however, so I have faith that it will become more stable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For me, when it comes to data, security is the absolute priority, so end-to-end encryption is the most important thing for me. With Proton’s reputation, I have a lot of trust. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is a lack of features such as file upload requests—for example, I could send a link to a client so they can upload their files without needing an account, and everything would be secure.

For certain video formats, we cannot play them online and have to download the videos.

Download and upload speeds are not very fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Again, getting off of other insecure 3rd party services is awesome. I love that I can now do docs and sheets! All encrypted! I have been able to securely share these docs with legal reps and there has never been any issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Docs and sheets are still a bit buggy . Sometimes cursor skips places and sheets still has some refinement needed the UI/UX. I know it's a work in progress, so I'm willing to wait Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I’ve been waiting a long time for Proton to start doing this, and they’re executing it perfectly. It feels like a more refined version of Gmail and Microsoft Office that actually works, while also baking in real, tangible security features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I honestly think it could be worthwhile for Proton to look into offering some kind of local, self-hosted setup. I realize that goes against the typical SaaS business model, but it would also give companies and individuals more control over their own security. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
