It would be a Good Thing to have a dedicated ProtonDrive App that didn't rely on the web browser to stay secure.

Apps for Android, iOS, Windows, Linux/*nix, & MacOS would eventually be needed of course.

Would like the ability to save ProtonMail Attachments directly to Proton Drive, so I don't have to download+upload.

With ProtonDrive, it would be nice if similar to how ProtonMail establishes a local mail server, if for ProtonDrive the bridge provided a local file server (WebDAV, etc.).

I'd expect the bridge to handle encryption/decryption and then could easily integrate the drive into any local file manager, etc.

Please offer an option to upgrade storage capacity without having to upgrade to the Visionary level. I would like more storage but I do not need additional users or addresses or domains.

Add share-links for folders as exists for individual files. Thanks! Already love Proton Drive, it was worth the wait.

Where is the search bar on Proton Drive? Without it the application is virtually useless, apart from being a secure repository.

The ability to edit text files on ProtonDrive without needing to download it first would give users the ability to use ProtonDrive as a place to store notes such as like grocery lists, to-do lists, password storage, or just as a method of passing text strings between devices.

The documents like spreadsheets and word documents can be accessed and edited from any device, and automatically saved. They wouldn't have to be downloaded, edited, and then saved again, then uploaded again each time.

The ability to view image thumbnails would allow users to find the image they are looking for without having to download each file and open it first

The ability to add one or multiple hashtags to a file would make organization and searching your files much easier.

For example, if a user has a library of food pictures/recipes, they could search or filter their library for one or multiple tags such as #Vegetarian, #30MinuteMeal, #BBQ, or #Garlic

Hello,
ProtonDrive is great news. However, are you developing tools to directly open and work with .docx and xlsx files such as Google Drive and its Google Sheets?

Thank you in advance.

Be great to attach a Drive File from a Composed/Reply ProtonMail letter.
As it is now, I have to download the ProtonDrive file to my Downloads file then attach it to ProtonMail letter. And then to be additionally secure delete that downloaded file. This seems counter to the Proton mission of ease of Encryption Use and access.

Would be great to have a log providing an audit trail of when shared files were accessed. i.e. "Shared file XYZ.txt was downloaded $DATE." Additionally, the option to receive an email alert when the file is accessed would be nice. It's convenient to know when someone has grabbed a shared file, and it's great to detect if a shared file is being accessed more often than expected (i.e. someone shared the link with others).

Box - Icloud use this feature - VERY VERY helpful to browse through 200 PDF files and find the right one based on the cover only !!

Without the hassle to download them at first before they show the coverpage

So that sshfs can be used with the protondrive share (from the command line). Preferably using a protonvpn command (?) for mounting.

The link that can be copied for a shared protondrive file cannot be downloaded by wget or curl.

Use-case: I have a file.tar.gpg that I want a URL for so that it can be downloaded elsewhere using curl or wget. This is possible from other drivers, sometimes by adding a request url parameter that gives the "immediate download link".

There doesn't appear to be a way to list the size of files inside a directory (include all subdirectories as well) easily, which I would view as an essential feature of any cloud storage. Request this feature to be added as an item under 'details' of a selected directory.

Being a Beta Product, Proton Drive should have a clear 'Suggestion' button next to the 'Help' button, to encourage feedback.

Furthermore, on ProtonDrive the current 'Request a feature' button under the 'Help' menu links to the default Protonmail feedback page. Thus a user could easily make the mistake of providing their feedback meant for Proton Drive, but placing it under the ProtonMail category.

It is irritating to have to learn a new visual language for every web application. Added to this, some icons are easily confused between each other. The trend of displaying menu / action buttons (e.g. 'Change Layout', 'Sort Files and Folders') with often-mysterious icons instead of words has been overwhelmingly deleterious for user experience, in my opinion. Especially for older users.

Added to this, it is quite unnecessary, given that a normal desktop screen, there is plenty of of unused horizontal space in the task bars, to be used for words instead of / in addition to icons.

Thank you.

Please provide an easy way to rename a PDF file that I am currently viewing.
