Proton Drive For Business Reviews & Product Details

Proton Drive for Business provides our company with safe, protected backup solutions that can be accessed from anywhere and on any device. Encrypted files can be shared via links or email, with optional password protection and expiration dates. Files cannot be seen or accessed by the Proton team, which ensures a deeper level of privacy compared to other “storage” products. Access to files (with permissions) can be monitored and revoked easily.

The ability to collaborate through their cloud service is an invaluable tool for users who need to work on the same files from different locations. While it remains strictly privacy-focused, Proton Drive for Business is ISO27001 certified and SOC 2 Type 2, which helps it stay compliant with global standards for information security.

Initially, the file upload process was slow and often took more than one attempt to upload files. Although this issue has since been resolved and is no longer the norm, it can still act up occasionally and take a long time, even with a fast and secure internet connection.

The flexibility of sharing files too large for faster in-chat methods. I specifically like the Shareable links with adjustable permissions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find the whole interface slow to use. I feel like I have to log in every time I go to use it, I have several folders with large quantities of files and it takes the system time to index them every time I open the file and instead of defaulting to batch downloads it wants to bundle and download as a zip which adds an extraction step after everything else.

The end-to-end encryption means sensitive documents are locked down properly, not just "password protected" in name only. Sharing files with clients is refreshingly straightforward, no convoluted permission settings to wrestle with. The interface is clean and simple, and I really appreciate the version history - a handy safety net of knowing I can roll back. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Storage on the lower tiers is a bit limited. I have to plan ahead about what I keep, more than I would with a more generous allowance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the encrypted storage and the easy local drive backup system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Proton drive to store graphic files and images and it would be very helpful if there was a way to move through the files by clicking a next button to see the next file. Now I have to close the file, choose the next file from the directory and then click on it. Next and Previous buttons for the files would be very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Proton Drive For Business is its zero-access end-to-end encryption, which ensures I can keep all my documents, files, and sensitive business data fully encrypted and safe at all times, while maintaining complete control and peace of mind.

What I dislike about Proton Drive For Business is the limited document editing capabilities, as it currently only offers basic Docs and Sheets with fewer ways to edit other document types, and it still needs significant improvement to reach the seamless, feature-rich experience of Google Workspace apps.

Switching to Proton Drive from Google Drive was about ensuring that the data I add to documents and spreadsheets is kept secure. While some of their programs are not as advanced as Google's, the vast majority of functionality I need is there and I can offset the slight reduction in functionality with the increase in data security. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Having moved from Google Drive and Google Docs to Proton Drive, I have found that some of the functionality I was used to (particularly in Google Sheets) is not yet available. As this is a newer product, I am hopeful that they will continue to deliver updates and add functionality. In particular, as a UK user, I find it is inconsistent in how it applies date formats and currencies. It is often possible to overcome these limitations, but I find it is sometimes inconsistent so I have to guard against this and apply a bit more vigilance when updating documents.

like that Proton Drive gives me secure cloud storage without handing my business files over to Google, Microsoft, or another company that may use my data for advertising or profiling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are still a few areas where Proton Drive feels less mature than some of the bigger cloud storage platforms, but it continues to improve and the privacy benefits are worth it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that it is included with the subscription I already have. I only became aware of it recently, so need to explore whether Proton offers a BAA if I am going to store clinical documents there. I’m confident that the documents would be safe, but the rules are that I need a BAA.

In brief, I need to learn more about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Again, I need to learn more and have been quite busy and haven’t had/made the time yet to explore usability and option for BAA. If they don’t offer a BAA or equivalent, that would be something I dislike. However, I’m fairly sure BAAs are just for HIPAA covered entities, not other industries, so it’s not likely to be an issue for most users.

Also, it really is more secure than Workspace for Healthcare. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Proton Drive for Business is that it gives me simple, private cloud storage without making the workflow complicated. It works across browser and mobile, keeps files easy to access, and feels more privacy-focused than the usual big-tech options.

The main benefit is peace of mind: I can store and share business files while keeping control over where sensitive documents are kept. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Could be probably faster transfer. And obviously never enough space. What I dislike about Proton Drive for Business is that it can feel less mature than some larger cloud storage tools. Syncing and collaboration features are not always as smooth or flexible as Google Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive.

I also wish the interface stayed faster and simpler. When privacy is the main selling point, the product still needs to feel lightweight and easy to use every day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Proton Drive has been dependable and easy to use. File synchronization has been reliable, and I like knowing my files are protected with end-to-end encryption. It integrates well with the rest of the Proton ecosystem, so having Mail, Calendar, Drive, and Pass under one account makes everything simpler. I don't need a lot of extra features—I just need my files to be available when I need them, and Proton Drive has done that consistently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only real downside is that Proton Drive doesn't yet have all of the collaboration and productivity features that more mature cloud storage platforms offer. If you're coming from Google Drive or Microsoft OneDrive, you may notice a few missing conveniences. For my needs, though, the tradeoff is worth it because privacy and security are my priorities.
