Space vs. Proton Drive

What you keep in Space goes beyond just our platform, as you maintain ownership and control over your area, allowing for access through different interfaces if you wish. All files, transactions, and activities within Space are protected by end-to-end encryption, guaranteeing that only users possess the decryption keys needed for access. Our code is openly available for anyone interested in reviewing it, which facilitates the verification of our claims regarding privacy and security, while we encourage developers to expand upon our Open Web framework. By utilizing a Space, you can safely store files that are entirely under your control and accessibility. The responsibility for managing your files and account keys lies solely with you, not with us, and all data is automatically backed up to Filecoin, adding an extra layer of decentralized security. Each Space account is associated with an Ethereum key-pair that only you have access to and control over. You can log in using various methods, including Twitter, Gmail, or email secured through the Torus network, along with privacy-focused options like MetaMask and other cryptocurrency wallets. Moreover, you are able to share your content through convenient channels (such as email or social media) or prioritize privacy with options like crypto addresses and links, allowing you to choose how to manage and distribute your data securely. Ultimately, the framework we provide empowers users to maintain autonomy over their digital assets and interactions, fostering a sense of empowerment and security in the digital landscape. This innovative approach ensures that you can navigate your digital world with confidence and control.

Proton Drive is a secure cloud storage and collaboration platform built for professionals who manage sensitive data.

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.
