What you need: Proton Drive account
Time required: 15 minutes
If you don’t trust Google or Microsoft to safely store your sensitive documents online, Proton Drive is a great alternative. It can protect your data even if your password has been stolen (see page 62) and lets you share files more securely. You get 500MB of free storage by default, but can increase this to 1GB simply by performing three actions (adding a file, sharing a file and setting up data recovery). We’ll explain how to do these.
STEP 1
Go to and click ‘Create a free, enter your email address, choose a secure password, then click ‘Create account’. Proton Drive will then prompt you to enter a verification code (it’ll send this to the email address you specified) then choose a name, which will be displayed whenever you share a file with someone.
