The new iOS offering provides a range of features tailored toApplefans, including cross device access, private and secure photo backup, easy setup and usage, offline access, enhanced breach security, and more.
“Photos in Proton Drive goes beyond many backup products – offering original quality photo backup, so you can know your images are kept as safe as the day you took them,” said Anant Vijay Singh, Product Management Lead at Proton.
“With Photos in Proton Drive, you’ll never run out of storage on your phone again, and you’ll be able to access photos from all your devices in one place. Unlike cloud storage services from Big Tech, Proton Drive’s use of end-to-end encryption ensures your private photos cannot be leaked, even in the unlikely event that Proton Drive itself is breached.”
“Apple and other tech giants have long compromised user privacy for convenience. At Proton, we believe you shouldn’t have to choose between privacy and usability,” Singh concluded.
