MacOS 15.0 dev beta - drive broken
Heads up to dev team. Uninstalled the drive, authenticated normally. Connection to drive is broken. Error message: "Proton Drive encountered an unexpected error". Mail, Calendar, Pass and VPN are all okay.

Show phones as computers. Many folks have multiple phones and they're really just computers.
Show phones as computers. Many folks have multiple phones and they're really just computers. I like being able to see what is where, and perhaps, being able to have sync groups so desktops can stay in sync separately from phones, etc.

Forwarding rule: add "recipient" as a usable condition
Now only the sender, the subject and the attachment are placeable inside a forwarding rule.
I would like to forward some messages what comes to one of my alias address only.2 votes -
Option to Overwrite Older Files
You have the option to overwrite existing files, but it BADLY needs an option to overwrite only older files, so I can backup entire large folder structures, yet only actually transfer new and changed files. This would slash the amount of time and bandwidth used on both our ends. When I've got newer files sprinkled all through my folders it's not practical to just selectively copy them and choose overwrite.

rclone for photos
Expose the "Photos" location to rclone. Perhaps allow the user to specify a custom folder name to synchronize photos to. Then rclone could be used to simply sync that specific folder.

Multiple recycling bins for different synced devices
When syncing a folder on a PC for example, based on the type of folder that is synced, many little files might get deleted and move to the recycling bin regularly, where every other deleted file needs to be searched in the flood if you wanted to recover it.
If there were different recycle bins, like one for the main drive, one for device 1, one for device 2..., files that you want to recover would be easier to find, as they are already sorted in a simple way.
Alternatively, if you could filter by paths in the recycling bin,…

Scroll
It would be great if there was a scroll button that allows us to quickly scroll through our drive like Google has. My family moved to proton for more space and this feature would make it way worth it.
As well, the images have a hard time loading in the main screen. You have to click an image and let it load before it shows. Videos are worse.

Simultaneous access to multiple Drive to/from single desktop device
Allow access to multiple drive on the desktop app-simultaneous login, upload to/download from distinct drives to/from single desktop device. Currently, we can access more than one account on the Drive desktop app, but not simultaneously (feature to add account doesn't exist). Also, once logged into more than one account, we should be able to upload and download to each account or from each account using the same device.

Increase Proton paid plans' storage for free
"Proton Mail Plus" plan's storage space isn't value for money.
Mail Plus: 15 GB storage, 48 EUR per year.
Google Drive Free: 15GB, 0 EUR per year.
Microsoft 365 Basic: 100GB storage, 20 EUR per year.
Same goes for Proton Unlimited which is too expensive for 500GB space while other cloud providers offer double storage at half the price.I appreciate that Proton offers privacy, security and many Mail features. However the storage space it currently offers is unbearably low for the long-term.
Please increase storage space a bit without price increase so that it's more VFM and sustainable for…8 votes -
Delete local copy of files when logging out
I would like it if when i log the protondrive app out (from the pc itself or remotely) to have it delete the local files of protondrive aswell.
When i have used protondrive for a bit on a computer, after that i have to logout and then manually delete the folder to make sure no-one has access to my files afterwards.
This is a feature that should atleast have exsisted if you remote logout the app from the browser (like dropbox has incase the device is lost / stolen)

Support folder picking on iOS
When using another app like Logseq or Obsidian, you cannot use ProtonDrive because the ProtonDrive iOS app does not implement NSExtensionFileProviderSupportsPickingFolders.

Improve sync - team up NextCloud etc..
I am a paid user and it is so hard to backup on proton, there is no reason why proton has not upgraded their drive. i should be able to do everything that Next-cloud offers and more. My phone and any of my multiple linux distribution PC should be able to sync..... I SAID SYNC(not upload), with my devices running any software. also Proton needs to huge upgrade on security due the fact that my drive was hacked or the upload failed but i swear i have uploaded it multiple times and it took days to finish about 56gb and…

Replace files in the 'sync queue' with the newer states
While working on a file, when you save it, proton drive immediately syncs it, locking any future changes from the file. If you want to save the file (locally) again, you have to wait until the its previous save state is uploaded. I think this could be fixed by replacing files in the 'sync queue' with the newer states in the case that the file is updated.

Add an "upload photos only while device is charging" option to the Android app
OneDrive's mobile app has an option for its camera backup to only backup photos while the device is charging. I would like to see this added to ProtonDrive. I dislike how currently it instantly uploads as soon as the photo is taken.

Add versioning for Excel files
Each modification to an excel file causes the current version to be replaced during the synchronisation process.
Enable versioning on this type of file too.1 vote -
When uploading a large number of files, don't upload files already present
Specifically for the android app. When you upload a number of files, some of those files may fail to upload properly. When you upload a 2nd time, it may be difficult to see which files failed on the first try. The app should see if there are files to upload and ask what to do. Always overwrite would upload everything whether to was there in the protondrive or not. Never overwrite would only upload files not already on protondrive. Only upload changed files would only upload files that weren't already there, or if already there, did not match in terms…

I am wanting to know what Proton's plans are if the EU goes through with plans to make Proton scan files before encrypting them.
I use Proton because of the strong privacy laws in the countries where Proton has servers. I know that the first step the EU is discussing is making Proton scan files before saving them for child pornography. But we all know once they have that they will have you scanning files for anything they find objectionable. Will Proton move its servers to a secure country if that law passes?

Option to remove Windows Explorer integration
The windows Explorer integration for Proton is pretty good overall - but still, I prefer to have my drive apps be as unobtrusive as possible.
Is there any chance there can be a toggle in the settings of the Proton Drive desktop app to remove Explorer integration?

Don't default move deleted files to Trash, and make this configurable and more transparent.
I only found out by accident that deleted files end up in an online-only Trash folder instead of being deleted. From a privacy and security centric company I find this quite shocking.
I would expect at the very last for this to be:
a) Opt-in, preferably with flexible retention.
b) Much, much more explicit, and definitely not entirely obscured by the app and only discoverable via the web interface.I don't want to have to remember that files I deleted are still stored at online at Proton, and having to go to the web to ensure they're really gone.
