About Proton Authenticator is a privacy-first two-factor authentication app that generates time-based one-time passwords to add an extra layer of login security for online accounts beyond just a password, so users can secure accounts across all their devices. It is open source and uses end-to-end encryption, meaning all cryptographic operations and secret keys are generated and stored locally, and even Proton cannot see your unencrypted 2FA data, offering transparency and strong privacy by design. Users can sync 2FA codes across devices with encrypted backups (including via iCloud or a Proton Account), import existing codes from other authenticator apps, and export them if needed, giving flexibility and control over 2FA secrets without vendor lock-in. Proton Authenticator is free to use, has no ads or tracking, and supports secure practices like biometric locks and offline access, so users can generate login codes.		About Proton Drive is the all-in-one workspace for storing sensitive data and collaborating with your teams, clients, and partners. Collaborate securely without compromising control: Share client files, contracts, and sensitive business documents with full end-to-end encryption. You control who can access what. Set passwords, add expiry dates,   or revoke access anytime. Protect all your business data: Plans come with 1 TB of storage allowance per user, giving your team enough space for all their files and docs. You can always add more storage later if needed. Simplify compliance across industries: Proton Drive supports GDPR, HIPAA, NIS2, DORA, and ISO 27001 compliance out of the box, and has been successfully audited for SOC 2 Type II. There's no need for custom configurations or third-party tools, as this helps you meet regulatory standards with minimal effort.

		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).
