Proton Drive vs. EncryptPro

Proton Drive is a secure cloud storage and collaboration platform built for professionals who manage sensitive data. Whether you’re sharing internal documents, legal contracts, or client files, Proton Drive keeps your data private — by default. Files are encrypted on your device before upload, and only you and your collaborators can access them. Even Proton can’t read your files. You can set passwords, add expiration dates, or revoke access instantly — so you’re always in control. Each user gets 1 TB of storage, with the flexibility to add more as your team or projects grow. Designed and hosted in Switzerland, Proton Drive is developed by the team behind Proton Mail and Proton VPN — trusted by over 100 million users worldwide. We’re independent, open source, and committed to keeping your data safe from surveillance and vendor lock-in. Proton Drive helps you stay compliant, with support for: - GDPR, HIPAA, ISO 27001, NIS2, and DORA - Verified SOC 2 Type II audits - No complex setup. No third-party tools required. Built for security teams, law firms, healthcare providers, consultancies, and privacy-conscious organizations of all sizes.

Most teams still share sensitive files as password-protected archives. The password gets emailed, texted, or read out on a call — two interception points instead of one. The archive itself carries a verification hash that can be brute-forced offline at full speed. And every edit means extract, change, re-compress, re-send. EncryptPro replaces that with something teams can run without an IT department. A connection is set up once between the people who share files. After that, encrypting is a right-click. The encrypted file can go by email, WhatsApp, USB, or a public link — no password accompanies it, and no one outside the connection can open it. Recipients never exchange keys or hand over an email address. C2 connections solve what makes standard PGP impractical at work: encrypt once, and every member of that connection can open it. No per-recipient encryption, no key directory to maintain. Licensing is per connection, not per seat. Only the person who creates a connection needs a paid plan — members stay on the free version. A team of fifty can run on one subscription. Offboarding is cryptographic, not administrative. Upgrade Lock rotates a connection's key pairs; anyone not given the new password cannot open anything encrypted after that point. Files they created earlier stay accessible to them, which matters when the departing party owns some of that data. The same right-click encrypts files that never leave the building. Security groups keep categories under separate passwords — finance, HR, client work — so unlocking one doesn't expose the rest. Encrypted files open and edit in their native applications and save straight back to encrypted. Nothing readable reaches our servers. If a subscription lapses, Viewer Only Mode keeps every encrypted file accessible offline, indefinitely. Windows. Free plan permanent, no credit card. Paid from $4/month.
