When it comes to cloud storage, there are a lot of options to pick from.
But over the past couple of years, some enticing new contenders have entered the ring.
Heres how the two compare.
Its easy to write Proton off because of that missing 10GB, but the competitor does have strengths elsewhere.
Both services also offer more premium storage options via monthly subscriptions.
There are, of course, more expensive options.
If you want more than that, youll need to look into the business plans for each service.
With storage and pricing in mind, Google does tend to offer a bit more bang for your buck.
But its also a great way to share those items with your friends and family.
Both Proton Drive and Google Drive make it easy to share those items with the people who matter.
Proton also offers these same features, but layers on various extras.
you could even set up password-protected files, something Google Drive still does not do.
Both Google Drive and Proton Drive offer the option to audit your files to see who has downloaded them.
Privacy
This is the real difference between Google Drive and Proton Drive.
Ultimately, its hard to beat Google Drive because of just how convenient it is.
However, Proton Drive takes your privacy a lot more seriously than Google does.
Proton Drive, on the other hand, does not keep any access to your data.
It is completely encrypted, giving only you and the people that you select access to the data.
But it doesnt offer nearly the same level of privacy that Proton Drive does.
Its extra premium is the price you pay for the peace of mind that comes with using Protons services.
The answer, for me, is pretty clear.
