Proton FAQs

FAQ

Who is Proton?

Proton builds privacy-focused services to help people take back control of their data from Big Tech surveillance and stay safe from hackers. Founded in 2014 with a crowdfunding campaign, the Proton Mail email service is now the largest encrypted email in the world. Proton also offers a calendar, cloud storage, password manager, VPN, and Bitcoin wallet.

FAQ

What is a password manager?

A password manager helps you generate strong, unique passwords for all your accounts and store them securely. You only need to remember a single password, and your password manager will autofill your logins for you. Proton Pass offers additional unique features like hide-my-email aliases, data breach monitoring, and secure login sharing links.

FAQ

What is a VPN and what does it do?

A virtual private network (VPN) helps you browse the web privately and unblock content, such as streaming videos or censored websites. VPNs encrypt your internet traffic and hide your real IP address, which prevents your internet provider and websites from tracking your activity.

FAQ

What is Proton Mail?

Proton Mail is a private email service that protects your messages with end-to-end encryption. Unlike other email services like Gmail or Outlook, Proton can’t read your messages and it blocks marketers from tracking what you open and click on inside your inbox. Because the encryption happens in the background, Proton Mail is easy for anyone to use.

FAQ

Is Proton Mail safer than Gmail?

Proton Mail is a safer alternative to Gmail because unlike Gmail, Proton never has access to the contents of your messages. Emails in Proton Mail are end-to-end and zero-access encrypted, so even if there were a data breach, your messages would still be safe. The same can’t be said for Gmail, which always has the key to decrypt and scan your inbox.

FAQ

What is Proton Drive?

Proton Drive is an encrypted cloud storage service that lets you store all your files, photos, and personal documents privately. Drive offers an online document editor, photo backups, and easy file sharing with no size limits. While services like iCloud, Google Drive, and Dropbox can see your documents and pictures, Proton never has access to your files so your data stays private.
