		Pros from Real Users Pros The web page designs are fresh, uncluttered and easy to read. I currently use MEGA and I'm considering paying Proton for full-service VPN, e-mail and Drive combined. The price for 500 GB of combined storage is around $7 / month prepaid on a 2-year basis. I think that's very reasonable if you're willing to commit. I'm not a sharer but a daily user of cloud storage and Proton Drive's features suit me very well. The 'share' link leads recipients to a page with two options: Download Folder and Get your own Proton Drive. The shared folder is linked to the second option, not the first. But not reliably, only for those already logged in to the Proton service. For anyone else, the first option must be used, and then many more steps to access the actual file(s).
