Proton doubles Duo storage to 2TB — more space for two users
Proton has upgraded its Duo subscription: the two‑person plan now includes 2TB of cloud storage, up from the previous 1TB. Proton Duo was introduced about a year ago as a lighter alternative to the larger family membership, and this change gives pairs more room without requiring a move to a pricier tier.
The Duo upgrade is part of Proton’s ongoing effort to make its privacy‑focused services more flexible for different household sizes. Proton Duo remains positioned for two users who want secure cloud storage and the company’s privacy features without committing to the full family subscription.
What’s new
- Storage increase: Duo now offers 2TB total for two users (previously 1TB).
- Target audience: Couples, roommates or partners who need shared, secure cloud space but don’t require a larger family plan.
- Other offerings: Proton continues to bundle its privacy services across plans — check Proton’s pricing page for exact feature lists and availability.
In addition to the Duo storage bump, Proton has also announced a data‑leak database intended to help users check whether their personal data has appeared in known breaches. Users should review the database and Proton’s guidance to see how it handles data, disclosure and remediation advice.
Practical notes
- Existing Duo subscribers should check their account settings or Proton’s announcements to confirm whether their storage has been upgraded automatically.
- Compare Duo vs. family plans: if you anticipate needing storage for more than two people or want extra shared features, review the family tier pricing and benefits.
- Review Proton’s privacy and data policies if you plan to use the new data‑leak database — understand what is searchable and how Proton processes breach information.

Discussion: Does 2TB make Proton Duo the right choice for you and a partner — or would you still prefer an individual or family plan? What features matter most when choosing a shared privacy‑focused cloud plan?
