Hi everyone,

We launched the Proton family plan over a year ago. Since then, many of you have asked for a more affordable option. Today, we are excited to introduce Proton Duo, our new plan designed to make online privacy more accessible.

You might consider safeguarding online privacy a personal duty, but what about your loved ones? If your partner still depends on Big Tech for their emails, documents, or photos, their sensitive information remains at risk.

For a limited time only, we are offering Proton Duo for $14.99/month with a one-year plan: that’s $60 in annual savings. This is a forever discount, so if you sign up for the promotion, you’ll keep this price forever.

Proton Duo includes:

  • 2 users with separate logins
  • 1 TB of storage to share + 15 GB of bonus storage every year
  • Full access to Proton Mail, Proton Drive, Proton Calendar, Proton Pass, and Proton VPN
  • Everything included in Proton Unlimited ($60 yearly savings compared to two separate subscriptions).

How to get started

  • Sign up for Proton Duo or upgrade your existing plan.
  • If your family member doesn't already have a Proton account, they can create one for free.
  • Invite your family member to your Proton Duo plan.

Use our Easy Switch tool to move your emails, calendars, and contacts from other providers to Proton in just a few clicks. Whether you're already using Proton or new to our community, Proton Duo makes it easier than ever to protect what matters most.

At Proton, we're on a mission to improve everyone's privacy on the internet. By choosing Proton, you're taking a stand for privacy—not just for yourself but also for your loved ones.

We'd love to hear your thoughts!

@proton_lynx @asdfasdfasdf I don't think a Linux client for Proton Drive is at the top of the priority list. It would be a good business practice by Proton to tell us why that is, if indeed it is the case.

It's funny because every post I see on Reddit/X/Lemmy/Mastodon it's full of comments "LINUX CLIENT WHEN?" lmao

@proton_lynx Proton hasn't said when (if) a Proton Drive Linux client would be made available or what the delay is. They will add you to the long list of user's requesting a Proton Drive Linux client.

When they added me to the list a very warm and comforting feeling came over me. I thought, "They heard me and a Proton Drive Linux client will be available at some point." That was a year or more ago. I'm still comforted by that warm and fuzzy.

@proton_lynx 2/2 At this point I'm far more interested in why a Proton Drive Linux client is not available than I am when it will be available.
