Easily import photos and albums from Google Photos to Proton Drive on Windows
Proton Drive for Windows gains a new photo import feature: you can move Google Photos albums and images into private, end-to-end encrypted storage, with auto-created albums and import from any folder. No tracking or AI training behind the scenes, and macOS import is coming soon.
Your photos are souvenirs of some of your happiest and most important moments. They belong to you, not to ad algorithms or AI platforms. That’s why Proton Drive gives you a private place to store them — where you can organize your photos into albums and browse them using filters and a timeline, with no tracking and no one analyzing them behind the scenes.
Now, bringing your photo library into Proton Drive is easier than ever. With the latest Windows app update, you can import albums and pictures from Google Photos to a cloud storage that protects your privacy with end-to-end encryption.

How to move from Google Photos to Proton Drive
- Export your files from Google Photos using Google Takeout.
- Open the Proton Drive desktop app for Windows.
- Go to Photos import.
- Select Import from Google Photos and import your photos and albums to Proton Drive.
Depending on how many photos you have, the process can take a few minutes to a few hours. You can continue using your computer during this time.
For more details, see how to import your photos from Google Photos into Proton Drive.
Why move away from Google Photos?
Your photos hold moments that matter, but to services like Google Photos, they also contain valuable data. Every image can be scanned for faces (including people who don’t use Google Photos), locations, objects, and patterns. These details help build profiles and infer relationships without your knowledge or explicit consent.
And as Gemini AI continues to expand in the Google ecosystem, it’s becoming harder to know whether your personal photos are simply being stored or quietly used to train AI.
Switch to a service that treats your photos as memories to be protected, not data sources to be mined.

Import photos from anywhere, not just Google
While Google Photos import is the highlight of this update, the new feature goes further. You can now import photos from any folder using the Proton Drive app for Windows. Albums are created automatically, so your pictures stay organized from the start.
Whether you’re uploading pictures from a hard drive, a USB stick, or another cloud service, Proton Drive makes the transition simple and private.
Update now and start moving your photos
Photo import is available now in the Proton Drive app for Windows. Download the latest version to start transferring your photo library from Google Photos — or any other source — into a private, encrypted photo storage space only you can access.

At Proton, we believe your pictures are too personal to be scanned by surveillance systems or analyzed by algorithms. That’s why we built Proton Drive — and the rest of the Proton ecosystem — with end-to-end encryption at its core. Your photos are visible only to you and the people you choose to share them with — not us, marketers, AI training models, data brokers, or anyone else.
If you use Apple, we haven’t forgotten you: Photo import support for macOS is coming soon. Stay tuned.
