Proton Drive Storage

proton.me/drive · cloud-drive · storage/proton-drive · JSON · compare

Free tier	5 GB free (starts at 2 GB, +3 GB welcome checklist within 30 days) unit GB; metered on unstated
Price	none stated
Per-object cap	not stated
Retention	not stated
Egress	No published per-GB egress meter on free; end-to-end encrypted so no CDN in front is possible.
Identity	email (placeholder) not published
Binding	none no constraint of a named kind was recorded; the verdict rests on the quota sentence rather than on a named limit
Interface	rest, rclone rest
Tooling	rclone backend 'protondrive' (Tier 4, added v1.64.0, self-described 'currently in Beta'; implemented by reverse-engineering the open-source client because Proton publishes no API docs).
Composes with	5 GB x unlimited free Proton accounts. Bonus storage programs are separate and mostly paid-tier.
Reliability	rclone backend is Beta and stated to have accounts it does not work with — treat as best-effort, not infrastructure.
Notes	5 GB free (starts at 2 GB, +3 GB welcome checklist within 30 days)
Evidence rung	reported One page read moves it to documented.
