I’m setting up cloud storage for a non-profit where I handle all the administrative and financial work. We already use Microsoft Office for our work, and while the team is comfortable with standard tools, I personally lean toward privacy-focused options. Currently, our setup includes:
- Email domain on Proton Mail
- Proton Pass and VPN for added security
I also use Proton Drive for personal storage through my Duo plan, and I appreciate the privacy it offers. However, I’ve heard mixed reviews about Proton Drive’s functionality, specifically about missing features like desktop sync and limited file-sharing capabilities, which raises concerns about its readiness for team-based work.
So here’s the dilemma:
- Proton Drive – Could be a natural choice given we’re already using Proton services, but might be too limited for the non-profit’s needs due to incomplete features.
- OneDrive – I’ve used OneDrive in work settings before, and given that we use Microsoft Office, it would integrate smoothly with our existing setup. The team would likely find it easy to use, but it lacks end-to-end encryption.
- Other Options – I’m also open to privacy-focused alternatives like Tresorit, which offers end-to-end encryption and collaboration tools, though it might be a bit pricey.
Would love to hear from others who have set up cloud storage in similar situations. Should I go with OneDrive for ease of use, or wait for Proton Drive improvements? Any insights on other secure but user-friendly options are welcome!
