Easily Organize, Share, and Protect the Moments that Matter to You

Hey everyone,

You’ve asked for better ways to manage your photos — and we’ve been listening.

Starting today, Albums are rolling out in Proton Drive on web, iOS, and Android! 🎉

Now you can organize, share, and relive your favorite memories — from vacations to family milestones.

📂 What You Can Do with Albums

🗂️ Organize with Custom Collections

Group weekend trips, birthdays, or years of travel into custom albums — no more endless scrolling through one big “Uploads” folder.

🤝 Share (on Your Terms)

Invite friends or family by email to a shared album.

You stay in control:

• Decide who can view or contribute

• Revoke access anytime

• Real-time syncing keeps everyone updated

Tag Your Best Moments

Mark top shots — or memes (we don’t judge) — as Favorites for one-tap access to your personal highlight reel.

🔐 Keep Personal Moments Private, Always

Everything stays end-to-end encrypted:

• Album names

• Photos & videos

• Even metadata

No ads. No AI training. No leaks. Just privacy.

🔜 Coming Soon

We’re just getting started! More features are on the way:

• 🔗 Link sharing — Send albums to anyone, even without a Proton account
