Hey everyone! Proton Drive for Windows now lets you easily and effortlessly import your Google Photos library into a private, encrypted space only you can access.

Why move your photos to Proton Drive?

  • Keep your memories private and encrypted
  • Transfer your albums exactly as they are
  • Avoid AI using your photos for tracking or training
  • Take a step away from Big Tech - your photos belong to you, not algorithms

How to move from Google Photos to Proton Drive

  1. Export your photos using Google Takeout
  2. In the Proton Drive Windows app, go to Photos import
  3. Choose Import from Google Photos and import your photos and albums to Proton Drive

Also, it’s not just Google Photos. You can import pictures from any folder, USB stick, hard drive, or other cloud service, creating a complete, encrypted photo library.

Photo import is available now in the Proton Drive app for Windows.

Try it now: proton.me/drive
