  1. Proton Photos Separation of Devices

    I am excited for Proton to start implement a photo backup system for Proton Drive (I am looking forward for it being on iOS).
    My only request is there to be separation of backed up devices with their own photo gallery.

    For example, if you backed up two phones you would be able to view each gallery separately from each other.

    This would be crucial to me for using Proton's backup system.

  2. Allow renaming files during upload on Android

    When you receive a document and want to upload it to Proton Drive on Android using the "share" feature, it saves the file using the existing name, which is almost always meaningless when this is an invoice or anything else received by email. That would be great to be able to quickly rename the file before upload.

    If we could also define a default prefix for files that would be even greater (e.g. date as "YYMMdd_" for companies wanting to comply to ISO 9001).

  4. 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.

  5. 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…

  6. Make the selected text color in Proton Docs higher contrast

    The selected text in the new Proton Docs editor is very light compared to the white background. Please raise the contrast regardless of the background color (hoping for a dark mode, too).

  7. Drive (1) - Faster Transfer Speeds

    The current transfer speeds are woefully inadequate, alas, and most especially the download speed. This is not to noticeable with smaller files of perhaps a few MB or even a few 10s of MB, but with larger files around 1GB and more, it can become a struggle.

    So, better speeds ASAP please.

  9. 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.

  10. Sync parent folder containing subfolders containing albums

    Currently the Proton Drive Android app lets you sync local folders, but with a limitation: if you have a big folder containing multiple subfolders (like that you get out from a Google Photos takeout), the Android app shows all the subfolders individually, instead of letting you choose any of the parent folders. Selecting these subfolders can be tiresome if you have photos spanning 15 years. It would be really nice to have more flexibility in the choice of the folders to sync.

  11. 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.

  12. 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.

  13. Change app language

    You have recently implemented new languages, the problem is that it is set automatically according to the system language. You cannot change it either within the app or within the settings app in the language for apps section

  15. Option for synced photos to maintain original folder structure

    A setting for mirroring the original storage file/folder structure when photos are backed-up would make searching, managing and retrieving files less daunting.

  16. Select over range through months inside of photos

    Select SHIFT doesn't seem to work when doing it over months. It works normally when doing it over individual photos, even across months.

  17. 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.

  18. 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)

  19. 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.

  20. 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?
