Proton Drive Free free hosting

Proton Drive Free

Sharing small private PDF bundles, project specifications, screenshots or collaborative docs to external reviewers.

Facts

Free allowance
2 GB storage · unlock 5 GB
Plan limits
Complete 3 welcome tasks within 30 days · password-protected links
Storage
Guaranteed 2 GB Drive storage initially, increased permanently to 5 GB when welcome tasks completed within 30 days. Separate Proton Mail allocation should not be conflated with Drive.
Account
Free Proton account. No paid subscription required; payment card requirement for ordinary Free signup not independently established.
Retention
Free accounts may be deleted after more than 12 months inactive; sign in and use a Proton service at least annually. Account deletion permanently removes stored files.
Custom domain
Proton-managed share URLs. User custom-domain attachment and domain registration not included in verified Free benefits.
Password protection
Free file/folder viewer links support owner-set passwords and optional expiration. This protects shared files, not a hosted application.
Billing
Continuing Proton Free tier, no file-storage overage charges were verified; exceeding space requires reducing stored files or moving to paid tier. No introductory compute credits or trial dependence.
Execution
Managed encrypted file storage and browser-accessible viewer/editor share links; no arbitrary user code execution.

Worth knowing

The marketed 5 GB requires completing tasks during the first 30 days. This is file/document sharing, not website or API hosting. Use the account at least annually to avoid inactive-account deletion. Official CLI exists, but Free-plan CLI entitlement is not verified.

How we match

Choose the kind of thing you made and the features you need. The results respond to the capabilities recorded in our directory.

Each result explains its fit or mismatch. Unverified commercial-use permission is marked for a terms check. Unknown free features don’t count as confirmed fits.

Apps can run in the browser, as serverless functions, or on a persistent server. The second step changes with your choice: web pages or file links for sites and files, runtime options for apps. For agents and tools, choose an agent service, MCP server, or code sandbox. A sandbox or serverless endpoint is not a continuously running process. In each group, select several to see hosts that support any selected option. Leave them blank to explore broadly; your agent can check the runtime before publishing. Docs & media candidates also need an exact file-format and size check. Commercial mode removes records with documented personal or non-production restrictions; it does not certify permission on other hosts.

Open a host to read its limits and sources. The agent brief packages your choices and those limits into instructions you can paste into your agent. It does not publish anything.

Each record has its own review date (October 11–15, 2026); deployments, privacy, support, and uptime have not been tested. There are no paid placements or affiliate links in this edition.
