Privacy-Focused Alternative

Privacy-focused cloud storage service

Proton Drive offers better privacy than Google Drive because it provides end-to-end encryption for all files. Google Drive does not offer end-to-end encryption by default, which means Google can potentially access and scan your files. Proton Drive's focus on encryption and its commitment to user privacy make it a more privacy-conscious choice for storing sensitive data in the cloud.
