Softonic review

Secure online storage platform

Proton Drive is a freemium productivity tool from the Proton AG team. This cloud storage app lets you access remote storage, creating a safe space for you to save and access your files anytime, anywhere. It even lets you upload files directly from your device to the cloud, with file support of up to 10GB

Proton Drive supports any internet browser, although it doesn’t have offline access. Still, it’s a good alternative to Google Drive, Dropbox, or MEGA. You can even share access to your drive, protected with passwords so you can control who sees your drive.

Experience encrypted file storage

Proton Drive is built on its end-to-end encryption, which keeps your files safe from their end and yours. This encryption is applied all across the Proton environment, which also includes an email system and an integrated calendar. It requires you to sign up for an account, which automatically comes with free storage of 15GB and most of its security capabilities. As mentioned, you can upload files up to 10GB.

Every time you use this version, you’ll need to log into your account, although password managers can make this part easier. Once you’re in, the platform offers a streamlined app layout that looks a lot like your default file explorer, with additional features for file sharing. It goes without saying that offline access is not available since it is on an online browser.

You can even share your files with others through a link similar to Google Drive, although it requires a password that you’ll have to send to your recipient separately. Additional storage sizes and industry-grade security features, however, are only available with its paid subscription plans. For example, they have a Proton for Business that covers a lot of basic IT needs such as emails and communications.

An airtight cloud drive

If you’re conscious about keeping track of your cloud storage and who accesses it, then Proton Drive is for you. For non-enterprise users, the free account already covers most of your needs. The app has a small file size with intuitive layouts, and the upload support is quite large compared to its contemporaries. However, if you want additional storage and security features you need to pay up.

    • End-to-end file encryption

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
