from the team:

Hi everyone,

We are starting the beta rollout of a new feature on Proton Drive: Private Access Sharing. This feature builds on how sharing currently works on Drive by allowing you to share directly using email addresses. For now, it will be available for the Visionary users who have beta access turned on over the next few days.

Now share directly via email

Private Access Sharing allows you to share files and folders directly with specific individuals via their email addresses, providing you with enhanced control and security over your shared content. With this feature, you can:

  • Share securely: Enter email addresses to share files with specific individuals.
  • Assign viewer or editor permissions: Control who can view or edit your files.
  • Revoke access or change permissions: Stay in control of your files at all times.

Proton Drive will continue to support public link sharing alongside private access sharing.

How to Use Private Access Sharing:

  1. Select files or folders: Choose the files or folders you want to share from your Proton Drive.
  2. Add recipients: Enter the email addresses of the people you want to share with.
  3. Set permissions: Assign viewer or editor permissions.
  4. Send securely: Recipients get an email with a secure link to access the shared files.
  5. Manage access: Revoke or change permissions as needed.

Proton Drive: How to Use Private Access Sharing

During the beta phase, your recipient also needs to be on the beta version to access the items shared with them. They can turn this on via the quick settings by clicking on the gear icon in the top right corner.

Files shared with you via Private Access Sharing will appear in the new Shared with me section.

We invite our Visionary users to try it out and share your thoughts. Your feedback will help us ensure that this feature meets your expectations.

Stay secure,

The Proton Drive Team
