We're upgrading our free plan.

Instead of sharing 1 GB between files and email, you'll now have:

5 GB for #ProtonDrive
1 GB for #ProtonMail

@protonmail reverse enshittification!
@protonmail Woah, that's a significant upgrade! Thank you!
@protonmail will paid plans be boosted?
@protonmail Love that its not linked with mail anymore!
@protonmail migrating out of Dropbox now…
@edmundo Good move: https://proton.me/blog/dropbox-security-issues. Let us know if you have any questions during migration!

@protonmail
Awesome, I don't really use proton drive since I self host a nextcloud instance, but this is still great to hear!
@protonmail Oh that's amazing to hear! I'm planning to switch to your Drive and get rid of my Dropbox - Would rather give you my money and trust 
@JenJen Happy to hear that! Let us know if we can help.
@protonmail Typo detected, change the hashtag from pProtonMail, to ProtonMail.
@protonmail That is very nice, though as an OG backer I already had 1 GB. Do we retain our little bonuses somehow or is this "period" over? :)
@Lingondraken Hi! If you already had a 1GB on your free Mail account, you will of course keep it, and get additional 5 GB for Drive. :)
@protonmail my account still says 500mb free. How do I get it to be 1GB?
@gh0sti @protonmail Same with me
@mr_MADAFAKA @gh0sti Hi! Have you perhaps been prompted to complete a few steps to obtain the storage increase in the meantime?
@protonmail Makes me want to switch back to Proton.
@charles8192 You're welcome any time! If you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out here.
@protonmail This is great to hear! I wish there were more selection of drive plans though, like 2 TB solo or something... Keep it up, team! <3
@protonmail That's good to hear. Will make onboarding of newcomers easy. Cheers.
@protonmail Is this something that will happen automatically?
@pkrowiak Hi Peter! If you've completed the steps from any of the Proton Mail or Proton Drive checklists at any point in the past, the storage for your account will be increased automatically. Otherwise, you'll be prompted to complete the steps now.
@protonmail I’m not sure which steps you’re referring to.
@protonmail that's nice, I've been on proton for a few years, but i missed the 1gb tasks. Is this upgrade automatic or do i have to do some tasks?
@seedd You need to do the 'Get started' checklist to get the bonus storage. If you encounter any issues with the process, contact us at https://proton.me/support/contact so we can help.

@protonmail done. I got upgraded to 1+5gb. This is awesome, thank you so much.

@protonmail Great. A good opportunity so giving a bump to this request.

@Deus It's coming to Android very soon, and it's planned for iOS too. Keep an eye on our social channels for updates!
@protonmail As a paying user, super happy to see this, as I want to push my friends/colleagues into using your services and this is a great gateway product. However, how do I get rid of this panel? I’ve done all the things, but it keeps showing up and maybe later’s later is about five seconds after I push the button.
@Olson This is an error, and we're working on a fix. When it's deployed, you will be able to dismiss it. We apologize for the inconvenience.
@protonmail Thanks! I thought I was missing something!!

@protonmail are these upgrades automatic or have to do special things? I keep seeing replies that “you should have gotten something” to fill out.

I’ve been using proton for a few years now and never get these upgrades offered to me. It’s one of the hard things to keep using proton. Limited offerings then seeing that services are being upgraded but by special means.

@cjerrington Hi! You need to complete the 'Get started with Proton' checklist items to get the bonus storage: https://proton.me/support/get-started-mail

If you encounter any issues with this, contact us at https://proton.me/support/contact with your username and we'll bump your storage up from our end. Tell us your ticket number here afterwards so we can quickly locate the request.

@protonmail Thanks! It's nice these are offered, but it's hidden in a way too. I guess it's also there for the users that use the service, and they are the ones who know of these special offerings too, and not just given to all by default.

@cjerrington Indeed, the 'Get started' checklist is intended to familiarize new users with some of the features that Proton offers.

It's not really hidden - you probably would have seen a splash screen informing you of the checklist. We also sent an email informing users of the storage boost.

@protonmail Hi guys. I'm a paid Proton customer for 6 years now. I keep wanting to migrate from dropbox, but a major feature is missing in #ProtonDrive. ATM, your service only allows sharing a folder via a link for the other side to view/download files. What's missing is the ability to share a folder for both sides to upload files and maintain the said folder. I saw reddit discussions about this from quite a while ago. Is this feature upcoming?
@saf We'll document your request to help our developers prioritize future implementations, although we can't specify an ETA at this moment. Thank you kindly for the feedback!
