Hi everyone,

At Proton, privacy and transparency have always been our top priorities. Today, we’re happy to announce that all Proton Drive apps are now fully open source.

Proton products are used by millions of users across the globe, our users deserve a promise of privacy that they can trust and verify for themselves

Why Open Source?

Transparency

You can now independently verify how Proton Drive safeguards your data.

Security

With the global community reviewing and improving our code, we benefit from innovative new security practices as soon as they’re available.

Trust

Don’t just take our word for it—you can inspect our apps yourself and see that your privacy is built-in by design.

We invite developers, security experts, and privacy advocates to explore, review, and contribute to our code on GitHub:

There are very few companies where I feel the subscription fee I’m paying is really, really, worth it.

Proton is one of them.

I like this company more and more every day. Right now I have my own NAS, otherwise I would use their drive, but I already use their email and their VPN.

Hmmm…My current drive solution is not open source.

I’ll be looking into this. Very cool. Thanks!
