You now have 5X more free storage in Proton Drive!

Dear Proton community member,

We’re excited to announce our largest-ever free storage increase. You can now store five times more data in Proton Drive.

Keep up to 1 GB in your mailbox and up to 5 GB for your files and photos in Drive — more than many other leading cloud storage services.

Make Proton Drive your everyday cloud backup
With an extra 5 GB of storage, you can protect more files, documents, and memories with end-to-end encryption. This will help you take full advantage of some of our latest features:

Encrypted photo backup: Back up photos and videos directly from your phone to your secure cloud with our mobile apps.
Seamless syncing: Sync files and folders from your computer using our desktop apps and access them securely on any device.

To help you make the most of Proton Drive, we’re rewarding you with 3 GB of free additional storage when you complete three simple actions:

Add a file or folder
Create a shareable link
Protect your account with a recovery method
You have 30 days to complete the actions. If you do them all in under 30 days, you’ll automatically receive an additional 3 GB of free storage for a total of 5 GB, allowing you to protect even more files and folders with end-to-end encryption. You will receive an email in your Proton Mail inbox confirming your additional storage.

    Neat very easy signup process

  • MagnamoniousRex on 22/02/2024 - 06:59

    Do they have an actual API for backup yet?

  • huntingforbargainz on 22/02/2024 - 07:24

    I clicked on the site and it does not mention anything about the 5 GB Proton Drive.

  • Bii on 22/02/2024 - 07:29

    Back up photos and videos

    These days, 5 GB = 10x video (1.5 mins)

    • treater on 22/02/2024 - 08:29

      yeah, this happened to me the other day when i recorded a short video. realised it was recording 4k 60fps, file size was 500mb. dropped it down to 1080p lol

      • Bii on 22/02/2024 - 09:21

        4k 30fps 1.5 mins 500mb, 60fps should be 1GB I think lol

        • incipient on 22/02/2024 - 10:28

          Depends entirely on the bitrate of the codec

            @incipient: Same bitrate, double the frame means double the size, from what I understand.

    Still only 500mb for mail and 2gb for drive in my account. Don't use it much for that reason.

    • myspacebarisbroken on 22/02/2024 - 10:55

      Follow these steps to add 3GB of storage (2+3) Proton Drive

      • Smigit on 22/02/2024 - 13:08

        Apparently it’s time limited, so if you have an older account and never upsized the mailbox, you might need to contact their support.

  • lawyerz on 22/02/2024 - 07:42

    Proton drive for 5gb is pretty good. However the lack of a searchh function is driving me insane, apparently due to encryption

    • Last Seen on 22/02/2024 - 07:49

      It appears on their roadmap but no ETA, unfortunately

      lack of search for drive or email??

      • lawyerz on 22/02/2024 - 09:08
        +2

        I don't use the mail. There's no search whatsoever for the drive.

        On a desktop, I can use search everything but on mobile i dont have anything for this

        • lawyerz on 22/02/2024 - 13:51

          I found a niche way to get search on proton drive that requires you to set up proton drive sync/desktop app and leave the computer on for this to work.

          1) Set up Tailscale
          2) Use Search Everything Tool above - enable HTTP server.
          3) On a browser on the mobile device, type in the tailscale address into the address bar. whoila. you now are accessing search everything, that will include not just the proton drive but ALL files on your PC, via tailscale.

          in fact… with this, why do I even need cloud storage… *contemplates what I just stumbled upon. Could easily just do this with a regular shared folder or FTP without search everything, just tailscale. I guess I can upload stuff and keep them in sync among multiple computers.

  • jughead101 on 22/02/2024 - 07:59

    Is there a special process to get that extra? I just got 500 MB of mail storage and 2.00 GB drive

      Got the catch:

      Need to complete few steps to get Double your free storage to 1 GB ….
      like auto forwarding from Gmail :(

      • jughead101 on 22/02/2024 - 08:05

        you get 29 days to do so

        make a new gmail account? lol

            @barg99: Point is .. it should have been mentioned in the original post

    • myspacebarisbroken on 22/02/2024 - 10:59

      Yes, I followed this process and got the email notifying additional storage has been added.

    Link from the previous deal to get the 1GB Storage

    Here are four actions you can take to get the most out of your Proton Mail inbox:

    Discover how our privacy features protect you
    Set up auto-forwarding from Gmail
    Change account logins to your Proton address
    Get the Proton Mail app on iOS or Android
    Once you have taken these four actions, we will upgrade your storage to 1 GB. With 1 GB of storage space, you can keep even more of your emails and attachments secure and private. You have 15 days to complete all actions.

  • ESEMCE on 22/02/2024 - 09:23

    Convenient for skiff.com refugees

    • ldd-mn on 22/02/2024 - 09:29

      Unless you've got a custom domain

      • ESEMCE on 22/02/2024 - 09:50

        You can move to Zoho for something like $30/year

        • myspacebarisbroken on 22/02/2024 - 11:08
          +1

          Zoho is best for that price for a custom domain email address + Mailbox + Distribution group + Aliases.

          I have been using it for about 3 years now for personal use.

          I have set up to use my domain.
          - Created a distribution group.
          - added my main account as a member.
          - enabled moderation in the group.
          - use that group's email address to sign in to all other shopping or random websites where an account is needed.
          - my main email address remains free from the data grabbers.
          - and I can kill /change the group email anytime to stop receiving spam or marketing emails.

        • ldd-mn on 22/02/2024 - 12:36

          Yeah, but they aren't that privacy focused

          • ESEMCE on 22/02/2024 - 13:00

            @ldd-mn: It'll be interesting to see how privacy focussed Skiff actually were in the coming years.

            Purelymail.com was mentioned as an alternative in the ArsTechnica Skiff article comments section. US$10/annum

            But, it's another startup.

              +1

              @ESEMCE: The weirdest part for me about Skiff was that they promised to have security audits done, yet never published them or even showed proof that they happened. Purelymail is probably fine, but it's run by a single person.

          • myspacebarisbroken on 22/02/2024 - 13:01

            @ldd-mn: I know, I don't use it for financial or any important stuff either.

    I can confirm that if you are an existing proton mail member with 500mb and you haven't followed the usual upgrade steps (auto forward, install proton mail app etc) in the last one month you can still get the upgrade.

    I opened the Proton storage app and uploaded a small file onto Proton cloud storage today. And received an email stating “we’ve upgraded your storage space to 5 GB” screenshot here. And I also noticed my mail storage changed from 500mb to 1 GB too.

      Yes. I just provided the detailed steps that I followed above. Received an email that confirms they upgraded my storage. Ive provided a screenshot as well.

          If the question was for me, my account was more than 30 days old. Still I got the upgraded storage today following the steps I performed as stated above.

    How does 15gb google drive using cryptomator compare against this?

    • glennm on 21/03/2024 - 10:13

      Cryptomator isn't free on mobile devices, where this is. Google is also tracking metadata (when/where you connect, even if the content is encrypted) whereas Proton doesn't.
