![]() ![]() Some might not like IDrive since they are located in the US (Five-Eyes and all that). Note: there are other security companies out there with 5 -10 GB free tier. But if you need that, do not set up a private security encryption key since the share feature is limited to IDrive accounts with default encryption key. I don’t use sharing, I set up a private security encryption key. To the best of my knowledge, the free version is the same as the Personal version with a 10 GB limit in size. I think the average person could get by with a 5-10 GB service, but I don’t think the average person could get by on 1 GB, that’s just too small for most, in my opinion. And, they have been audited and comply with the SSAE 16 standard and are GDPR, HIPPA-BAA, SOX, GLBA, and SEC/FINRA compliant. If you are not going to do file sharing, you can step up the security by using a private encryption key, too. They use 256-bit AES encryption on transfer and storage and to transfer the sign-in credentials–so they are secure. They currently offer 10 GB in their free tier. I first learned of iDrive on your site from Dick Evans years ago. There are other security-based cloud drives and security-based cloud backup services that offer equally secure services but offer 5 – 10 GB in their free tier. Proton is a good security-based company, but as you mentioned, 1 GB on their free tier is very small. Proton’s entire business model has always been predicated on providing the very best security/privacy possible and the company’s record in that area should allay any such concerns. The main reason I’m bringing this new service to your attention is for the benefit of those users who still have concerns over trusting cloud storage services with the safety of their personal data.

Individually the cost of all Proton’s services per month adds up to almost $14.00 so the Unlimited plan at $9.95 per month, including additional cloud storage and other advanced features, is a darn good deal. There is also a Proton Unlimited plan costing $9.99US per month ($119.88US per annum) which includes 500GB of data storage and consolidates all Proton services, including full access to all Proton Mail and Proton VPN features, into a single package. During that time Proton has established a stellar reputation for providing users with ultra-secure services that, in terms of security and privacy, are far superior to mainstream alternatives. The company first introduced its secure webmail service, including end-to-end encryption, eight years ago, followed by Proton VPN in 2017, and now Proton Drive cloud storage. Proton, the Switzerland-based company that specializes in providing ultra-secure services, has recently introduced its new cloud data storage service, including a 1 GB plan for free.
