We consider this to be a major milestone in achieving our vision, because data stored on most cloud services is not truly secure.

During that time, we progressively refined and developed our encryption model to deliver the most private and secure cloud storage service available today. This was made possible by the approximately 450,000 members of the Proton community who participated in the Proton Drive beta. Today’s product is the result of your support and the thousands of suggestions you submitted.
