How to move from Proton Drive to Terebyte
Updated October 9, 2026
To move from Proton Drive to Terebyte, keep your Proton Drive files on your computer with the Proton Drive app, then upload the folder with Upload → Upload folder. Terebyte encrypts every file on your computer before it’s uploaded, just as Proton did.
On Mac
Step 1
Open your Proton Drive folder
With the Proton Drive app installed and signed in, open its folder from the Finder sidebar, under Locations.
Step 2
Keep the files on your Mac
Select the folders you want, Control-click and choose Make Available Offline. Wait for the ticks.
Step 3
Upload the folder to Terebyte
In Terebyte, open My files, choose Upload → Upload folder and pick the folder, or drag it onto the page. Everything inside, subfolders included, is encrypted on your computer before it’s uploaded. Keep the tab open until it’s done; you can pause and carry on later.
On Windows
Step 1
Open your Proton Drive folder
With the Proton Drive app installed and signed in, open its folder in File Explorer, at the top of the navigation pane.
Step 2
Keep the files on this PC
Select the folders you want, right-click and choose Always keep on this device. Wait until everything has downloaded.
Step 3
Upload the folder to Terebyte
In Terebyte, open My files, choose Upload → Upload folder and pick the folder, or drag it onto the page. Everything inside, subfolders included, is encrypted on your computer before it’s uploaded. Keep the tab open until it’s done; you can pause and carry on later.
On iPhone
Step 1
Save files from the Proton Drive app
In the Proton Drive app, open a file’s menu and save it to Files.
Step 2
Upload them to Terebyte
Open terebyte.com in your browser, go to My files and choose Upload → Upload files, then pick the files. Phones can’t choose a whole folder, so folders aren’t kept: for a whole library, a computer is much easier.
On Android

Step 2
Upload them to Terebyte
Open terebyte.com in your browser, go to My files and choose Upload → Upload files, then pick the files. Phones can’t choose a whole folder, so folders aren’t kept: for a whole library, a computer is much easier.
Questions
- Can Terebyte see my files while they move?
- No. Each file is encrypted on your own device before it’s uploaded, with a key only you hold. Terebyte stores ciphertext it can’t read, and that includes the file and folder names.
- What if the upload stops halfway?
- Nothing is lost. Pause and resume whenever you like. If the tab closes, choose the same folder again: Terebyte carries on where it stopped and skips everything already uploaded.
- Will I get duplicates if I upload the same folder twice?
- No. Files already there with the same name and size are skipped. A different file with the same name is kept alongside, as “name (2)”.
