What Platforms Are Supported
by Proton Drive?

This page is part of the Proton Drive FAQ Hub.

Which desktop operating systems does Proton Drive support?

You can download the official Proton Drive desktop apps for Windows and macOS. Both applications offer background file syncing, secure local caching, and deep integration with your computer’s native file explorer (Windows File Explorer and macOS Finder). Linux is not officially supported with a native desktop app yet.

Which mobile devices does Proton Drive support?

Proton Drive has mature, native applications for both Android and iOS (iPhone and iPad). The mobile apps include critical features like secure automatic photo backup, offline file access, and biometric lock protection to keep your data safe if your phone is physically compromised.

Are Proton Drive files encrypted on all supported platforms?

Yes. Proton Drive applies strict end-to-end encryption across every single supported platform. Whether you upload a file via the macOS app, an Android phone, or the web browser, the file is encrypted on your device before it ever reaches Proton’s servers. Nobody at Proton can view your files.

Is the Proton Drive web app a viable alternative to the desktop apps?

Yes. If you are on an unsupported platform like Linux, or simply using a borrowed computer, the Proton Drive web app is highly capable. Following major infrastructure updates, the web version handles large file uploads and downloads significantly faster, making it an excellent daily driver for users who do not require continuous background folder syncing.
