Our review
Proton Drive is the privacy-purist's pick. E2E encrypted, Swiss-based, open-source. Best value if you bundle with other Proton services (Mail + VPN + Pass + Drive).
Pros
- End-to-end encrypted (Proton can't see your files)
- Swiss jurisdiction (outside 14-Eyes)
- Open-source apps
- From Proton (Mail/VPN/Pass) team — high trust
- Best value as part of Proton Unlimited ($9.99/mo for Drive + Mail + VPN + Pass + Calendar)
Cons
- Newer (launched 2022) — fewer features than Dropbox
- Slower file sync than Dropbox
- Smaller integration ecosystem
- Renewal price doubles after year 1
