Proton Drive: Cloud Storage

I switched to Proton from Google but it’s worse. So slow. No feedback. Infuriating.

iOS version feels like copy/paste of Android version. No integration with iOS file system. Even Google Drive does a better job. This app is a joke and I’m seriously looking at leaving for Nextcloud.

I really don’t understand this company. So many of their products are half-baked. Proton drive, both desktop and mobile, are so handicapped and riddled with bugs and crashes that they should pull the product. They’ve literally removed mission-critical features. I just don’t get how they feel okay charging money for this.

I’ve migrated away from onedrive for personal use because I wanted the security, but I miss many of the features onedrive has. I almost always immediately offload pictures and documents as soon as I upload them. Not having a good filter or not being able to sort photos at all is a huge negative because it makes putting them in a folder later a serious chore. Adding those features would be at the top of the priority list for me. Also, to watch a video saved in files, you first have to download it. I wish I had known that before uploading my videos as a file instead of photo.

every button works but the internet is cut off or something so nothing loads. even the Bug Reporter works up until it needs to send data.

It is backing up slowlyyyyy. Its frustrating how slow it is and no, it is not my internet. It crashes EVERY single time I try to add photos or videos to an album. I’m a few crashes away from finding an alternative because the entire reason I got it was for security and sharing albums

Just recently started using Proton and I love it. Full end to end encryption, for important private document you don’t want getting into the wrong hands

Lacks on features compared to dropbox. Should definitely support “detached”/ linked folders. Sync speed is so-so, otherwise would be 5 stars as the rest of proton apps.

A decent app since development, but they’ve taken away compatibility with the Files app. Now it’s impossible to add an attachment to Proton Mail from that app on iOS while composing (they also took away several features of the Mail app). This was without any notice to its paid subscribers, taking away a basic function used with any email program. Not happy.

I use Proton Drive to contain my password manager, and every time it becomes inaccessible I have to use alternate roots and it causes a great deal of indiscretion working off a multiple platforms. I see this as an extreme security risk to my processes, and I’m considering to leave proton entirely because of that in reliability. Proton Drive — Revised App Store Review Rating: 1 star Title: Paid feature removed without notice. Formal escalation now filed. I purchased Proton Drive specifically to serve as the secure cloud layer for KeePassium Pro, my paid password manager. The iOS Files integration was the operational bridge that made these two systems work together across my devices. It was not a convenience — it was a functional requirement. Following Proton’s recent iOS update, that integration was removed from the production release without prior notice to subscribers. My KeePassium database is now inaccessible on my iOS devices. This is an active credential lockout created by a vendor update, not by any change on my part. I received two support responses. The first directed me to a Beta application — an unstable, untested channel — to restore access to a security-critical system. The second suggested I migrate to Proton Pass, reorganizing my entire security architecture around Proton’s ecosystem because their update broke my existing setup. Neither response acknowledged that a paid feature was removed, that subscribers were not notified, and that no compensation was offered for the affected service period. I have now filed a formal complaint with Proton’s legal team and CEO, and I am retaining this review as a public record of how this matter has been handled. I chose Proton because its stated values — privacy as a right, individual control, integrity over commercial convenience — matched the architecture I was building. The handling of this removal has not reflected those values. That gap is what this review documents. I will update this review if the matter is resolved substantively.
