Protect your data while you send documents and photos across the U.S. This service combines end-to-end encryption with simple controls so sensitive content never leaks to unintended people.
The interface keeps daily actions familiar: pick recipients, set permissions, and email a link. Gmail uploads items over 25 MB to cloud storage and inserts a safe link, while Google Workspace adds permissions and threat detection across Drive, Chat, and Mail.
Files and folders can encrypt before storage, so providers and intermediaries cannot read contents or metadata. You can adjust access after sending, set expirations, and add passwords to reduce risk if a link reaches the wrong recipient.
Expect enterprise-grade protection with the ease of normal email habits. Whether you send personal documents or large business assets, the service balances privacy, storage, and usability for teams and clients.
Key Takeaways
- End-to-end encryption shields documents before they leave your device.
- Email links and permission checks make sharing simple and controlled.
- Adjust access, set expirations, and revoke links if needed.
- Works with common U.S. tools like Gmail and Google Workspace.
- Handles any size of files while keeping storage private and searchable.
Why choose our secure file sharing service today
A better way to send confidential items blends strong protection with familiar tools.
Protect sensitive documents, photos, and videos from breaches and surveillance
End-to-end encryption keeps contents private so even the provider can’t read your items. Select providers also encrypt metadata like names and sizes, preventing leaks of hidden details that reveal context.
Commercial-grade security with a friendly experience for people and teams
Permissioned email invites and controlled links deliver the right access to the right recipients. If plans change, revoke access or set expirations in seconds.
AI-driven threat detection scans attachments and stored files for malware and phishing without extra steps. Audit logs track who viewed or downloaded content for compliance and accountability.
The result: enterprise-grade protection that runs quietly so teams keep working their normal way. Compare your current process to this more private, controlled approach and see how much safer your data can be.
Secure file sharing
Protecting data starts before upload: encryption and local key generation lock content to intended recipients.
End-to-end encryption and adjustable permissions to keep data private
Encryption runs on your device so uploaded content stays unreadable to intermediaries. Only recipients with the right keys can decrypt and view files, which keeps your data private from providers and network observers.
Password protection, expiration dates, and revoke access for full control
Share via email with viewer or editor permissions to match each recipient’s role. Links can be protected with passwords and expiration dates so access is time-bound and limited to intended people.
Revoke access any time to instantly disable invites or links. Monitor download counts to see who accessed content and when, improving auditability across teams.
Privacy by design: encrypted contents and metadata, not exposed to recipients
Services like Proton Drive encrypt contents and metadata (names, sizes, thumbnails) and avoid revealing sender IPs. Links and keys are generated locally so the provider never learns the secrets that protect your folders and files.
Use permissions and passwords together to balance collaboration and strong controls. Expiration keeps old material from lingering online, making practical, fast protection part of daily work.
Share files on your terms: email invites, secure links, and team spaces
Choose how your documents move: invite specific people by email, create time-limited links, or use team spaces for ongoing work. Each method gives clear controls so the right people see the right content at the right time.
Share via email with viewer or editor permissions and access revocation
Email invites let you pick viewers or editors, so recipients get the exact level of access they need. Providers like Proton Drive support direct invites and let owners revoke access instantly if plans change.
Share via link with passwords and expiration dates for time-bound access
When you share with a link, add a password and set an expiration date to limit exposure. Time-bound links reduce risk if a URL is forwarded to the wrong recipient.
Collaborate in spaces and groups with view, comment, and edit controls
Team spaces centralize chat, calendars, and documents so everyone works on the latest version. Gmail and Google Workspace tools check permissions automatically and convert attachments over 25 MB into Drive links so large files send smoothly.
Best practice: choose invite or link first, set permissions and passwords, then confirm access. Encryption runs under the hood so your data stays protected no matter which way you share.
Send large files without limits disrupting your workflow
When attachments grow beyond email limits, cloud links keep your work moving without pause. Gmail auto-uploads anything over 25 MB to Google Drive and drops a link into your message so sends don’t fail or stall.
Gmail smart handling: 25 MB attachments auto-upload to Drive with secure links
Attachments larger than 25 MB become a Drive link automatically, saving time and avoiding bounced messages. The link preserves permissions so recipients access content as intended.
Share large files directly from Drive or within Google Chat (up to 200 MB in Chat)
From Drive you can share large files with people or groups and set viewer or editor rights—ideal for video and high-res media. Google Chat accepts uploads up to 200 MB from your computer or Drive for fast handoffs during conversations.
Best practices: use cloud storage and links to bypass size limits, add expiration dates to time-bound transfers, and confirm recipient access before sending. End-to-end encrypted providers like Proton Drive let you send any size or type while keeping data protected, pairing speed with strong protection.
Built-in protections that keep your organization a step ahead
AI and centralized policies work together to stop threats and keep visibility across your organization.
AI-powered threat detection for malware, phishing, and spam
AI-driven scanning inspects attachments and stored items before users open them. Google Workspace uses machine learning to flag spam, malware, and phishing across email and cloud apps.
This layer catches risky links and infected documents early, reducing the chance that a user downloads harmful content.
Monitor access and downloads to maintain visibility and compliance
Track who viewed or downloaded files and when so audits and regulatory checks stay simple. Proton Drive records download counts for shared links while using end-to-end encryption to keep contents and metadata private.
Admins can apply consistent policies to folders and shares, centralizing oversight and speeding response to suspicious activity. Permissioned shares, quick revocation, and hardened data centers add enterprise-grade protection without disrupting daily work.
Result: blending AI features and strong encryption gives your teams better protection and clearer oversight while they keep working in the apps they already use.
Work the way you want: apps and integrations that save time
Get more done by using apps that connect your documents, meetings, and calendars. Web and mobile apps let teams upload and manage files from laptops, iPhones, or Android devices so work keeps moving on the go.
Web, iPhone, and Android apps for on-the-go management
Proton Drive and similar services offer web, iPhone, and Android apps to upload, view, and share files from any device. You can add items to storage, send a link, or invite collaborators without returning to your desk.
Meet inside Docs, attach to Calendar, and share in Chat
Google Workspace ties conversations to content. Start a Google Meet inside a Doc to discuss edits in real time.
Attach files to Calendar events so attendees arrive prepared, cutting delays and duplicate follow-ups. Use Chat spaces to centralize conversation and content for projects.
Transfer ownership and set folder-level permissions
When roles change, transfer ownership and apply folder-level permissions to match access with responsibility. These controls streamline handoffs and keep compliance aligned with policy.
Choose the best way to share: email, link, or a Chat space—each path preserves versions and permissions across the cloud. Integrations reduce tab switching and save time so teams stay focused and productive.
Trusted by teams that value privacy, productivity, and control
Trusted platforms make privacy part of daily workflows, not an extra chore for people to manage.
Millions of teams across the United States trust providers that protect data and streamline collaboration. Many adopt modern file sharing and file practices built on reputations like Proton Mail and Google Workspace.
Each organization gains confidence when a service pairs clear defaults—permissions, expirations, and audit logs—with strong security track records.
Teams report fewer delays and less rework when people can access files quickly and with the right rights. Leaders see faster adoption when onboarding is simple and policies map to daily work.
Result: predictable access, robust infrastructure, and continuous improvements deliver practical trust. Consider how an upgraded approach to sharing could improve outcomes for your team and protect what matters.
