ProtonDrive, our end-to-end encrypted cloud storage service, has entered beta. To thank the paid users who enable us to pursue our mission of building an internet that puts users first, we are giving early access to Proton users with:
- Lifetime plans
- Visionary plans
- ProtonMail Professional with ProtonVPN Plus bundles
- Both ProtonMail Plus and ProtonVPN Plus plans with a two-year billing cycle
If you are currently subscribed to one of these plans
You do not need to take any action. We will send you an email alerting you that you have received access to the ProtonDrive beta.
Because we need to monitor the impact of ProtonDrive on our infrastructure, we are rolling out early access in batches. If you are a user with a Visionary plan, a ProtonMail Professional with ProtonVPN Plus bundle, or a Plus plan bundle and you don’t already have access, access will become available in the coming days. Thank you for your patience. We will provide updates as the rollout continues.
If you are not currently subscribed to one of these plans
If you are not subscribed to any of the plans mentioned above but still want to get early access to ProtonDrive, you can subscribe or upgrade to a ProtonMail Visionary plan or a Plus plan bundle. This will automatically give you access to the ProtonDrive beta.
Below, we address some frequently asked questions.
Frequently asked questions
You can go to drive.protonmail.com and sign in using your ProtonMail login credentials.
You can also log in to your account at beta.protonmail.com and check the app drop-down menu. If you have access, you will see the ProtonDrive icon.
If it doesn’t appear for you and you are an eligible user, please check back in a day or two (be sure to refresh the page) since we are doing a staged rollout.
If you are a new subscriber or just upgraded your plan to a Plus plan bundle, you will immediately get access to the ProtonDrive beta. Check your inbox. You should have received an email with a link to take you to ProtonDrive.
We are currently rolling out access to users with existing Visionary and Plus plan bundles in batches. Thank you for your patience.
As long you subscribe or upgrade to a Plus plan bundle before Dec. 15, you will get early access to ProtonDrive.
A Plus plan bundle gives you access to both ProtonMail Plus and ProtonVPN Plus at one discounted price. In addition to early access to ProtonDrive, a Plus plan bundle gives you access to premium features for both ProtonMail and ProtonVPN.

Because we are still adding features, the ProtonDrive beta will be free to all users who get early access. It will not affect the standard Visionary or Bundle plan pricing.
We have not announced what the price for ProtonDrive will be once it is complete and released publicly.
ProtonDrive will share storage with your ProtonMail account. Plus bundle users receive 5 GB of storage, and Visionary users receive 20 GB. You can also add extra storage to your plan.
We will increase these storage quotas before ProtonDrive is released publicly.
No, you will not lose the money you paid for your current plan if you upgrade. If you are already a paying ProtonMail or ProtonVPN user and you take advantage of this promotion, the new plan you select will replace your existing plan. However, when you go to check out, we will automatically credit you the unused balance of your existing subscription. This is added as a proration credit.
Yes. ProtonDrive will not be mentioned in the signup process. However, once you subscribe to a Plus plan bundle, you will receive an email containing a link to the ProtonDrive beta.
This usually means that your cookie cache has been cleared. There are three solutions:
– Don’t use browsers that clear your cookies after each session.
– Don’t use Incognito Mode or Private Mode windows.
– Keep the tab with your current ProtonMail session open.
The quickest way to see the pop-up again is to log in to your account at beta.protonmail.com using an Incognito Mode or Private Mode window.
You can also get the deal by manually upgrading your plan. Log in to your account at account.protonmail.com → Click Subscription → Click Manage Subscriptions.
For the ProtonDrive beta, we’re giving early access to users who have Visionary plans, ProtonMail Professional with ProtonVPN Plus bundles, and Plus plan bundles. As we don’t currently know how this will impact our infrastructure, early access is being rolled out in batches, and only to the users with these plans for now. We will provide additional updates as the rollout continues (e.g., if we will include additional plans).
