A diferença real
Both offer free tiers, so the real question is what you get when you start paying.
Google Drive stands out with Deep Google Workspace integration and Real-time collaboration on Docs/Sheets/Slides. Proton Drive counters with End-to-end encrypted file storage and sharing and Zero-access encryption — even Proton cannot read your files.
Google Drive's Achilles heel: 15 gb shared across gmail, drive, and photos fills up fast — you’ll be paying within months of heavy use. Proton Drive's: storage amounts are small for the price — 200gb for $4/mo when google gives you 100gb for $2/mo. Pick whichever weakness you can live with.
Conclusão
If you value deep google workspace integration and qualquer pessoa já no, go with Google Drive. If usuários privacy-first que já matters more, Proton Drive is your pick. Neither is a bad choice — but one will fit your workflow better.
