Cloud storage lets you keep all your most important and cherished files — from bank records to family photos — within reach. This means your cloud storage must be fast, work seamlessly across devices, and protect your privacy. That’s why we’ve rebuilt Proton Drive for macOS from the ground up — offering a refreshed design, enhanced performance, and up to double the speed, all while protecting all your files with end-to-end encryption.
What’s new in Proton Drive 2.0 for macOS?
The launch of the first Proton Drive for macOS app in 2023 was a significant milestone in our journey to make our end-to-end encrypted cloud storage available to everyone — whether you’re using a Mac, Windows, Android, or iOS device, you should be able to seamlessly back up your files and access them across platforms without sacrificing functionality, privacy, or security.
Following the app’s launch, you shared feedback on how we could make your experience better — from performance improvements to new features or tools. Your insights are at the heart of everything we do and, today, we’re excited to unveil Proton Drive 2.0 for macOS as a direct result of that.
Access files in a few clicks
Now, when you open Proton Drive from your desktop menu bar, you’ll immediately see recently edited, uploaded, and synced files — letting you pick up where you left off without digging through any folders.
Experience faster uploads and downloads
Proton Drive 2.0 for macOS lets you upload and download files at up to double the speed. Collaborate with teammates, tackle urgent projects, and stay ahead of deadlines without delays.
Monitor the status of your files
Keep track of your files’ sync status from your desktop menu bar. Whether you’re backing up a folder or uploading a large file, Proton Drive’s improved status tracker keeps you informed and lets you address errors without interrupting your workflow.
The power of Proton, from your desktop
With these upgrades, Proton Drive 2.0 for macOS continues to offer its core features for privacy-first, secure cloud storage that puts you in control of your data.
Protect your data
When you use Proton Drive, your files are end-to-end encrypted on your device before being uploaded to our secure cloud, meaning no one — not even Proton — can access your files, photos, or documents.
Sync files seamlessly
Save or edit files in the Proton Drive folder on your Mac, and they’ll automatically be mirrored across devices, so you can always access the latest version — even if your device is lost or damaged.
Access files offline
Proton Drive for macOS lets you download cloud-stored files or folders to access them even without an internet connection. You can edit and save your work while offline, and Proton Drive will sync the changes when you reconnect.
The future of Proton Drive
With the launch of the new macOS app, Proton Drive offers a secure, high-performance, and trustworthy alternative to traditional cloud storage providers — protecting your data from being accessed or exploited by algorithms, advertisers, governments, or malicious actors.
Over the next few months, we’ll enhance the app further by adding more new features and releasing the Software Development Kit (SDK) that the new macOS app is based on, which we anticipate will serve as the basis for a highly requested Linux app.
