  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Show data for both files when uploading a duplicate.

    It would be VERY helpful if the dialogue that comes up when loading a file into Drive that has the same name would show the basic data for each file - the last modified date and size particularly. That way it would be easy to make a decision whether to replace, rename or skip.

  5. Syncing between devices: support junctions in "My files" folder

    In this folder "C:\Users\WINUSER\Proton Drive\PROTONUSER\My files" that gets created by Proton Drive, a user should be able to include one or more Windows junctions (which point to folders elsewhere on the drive).

    This would allow a user to set up a junction pointing to the same arbitrary folder XYZ on two or more computers, which would keep the contents synced between those computers and the Proton Drive.

    (I have two computers on which I want to keep data in sync.)

  6. 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.

  7. Proton Drive Android: free up local space by deleting backed-up photos

    Make it easier to clear local storage space. Some options to add:
    Filter photos to show only those that are still on the device.
    Sort by file size.
    Select multiple photos/videos and delete local copy.

    Another possible option: auto-delete local copies of photos and videos after X days, if they have been successfully backed up. (Do not forget to check for successful backup in all of these cases. Sometimes videos are not backed up for whatever reason.)

  8. 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?

  9. 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.

  10. "Cancelled" tab in upload pop-up of the Webapp interface

    It would be really great to have a "Cancelled" tab when uploading files to Proton Drive. Let me explain.
    Currently, when uploading files (especially if it is a very large number of files) you get a small pop-up showing you the progress of your upload.

    The pop-up has four (4) tabs:
    1) All
    2) Active
    3) Completed
    4) Failed

    CONTEXT:
    However, let's say you were uploading a very large folder (e.g., 30-50GB) which included thousands of files. For some reason, the upload was interrupted and did not finish completely. When you try to re-upload the large folder, most people will…

  11. Set number of times a shared file can be accessed

    I want to be able to share a file with a password that can only be used once.

    My motivation for this is that it greatly helps detect when a breach has happened because the person you're trying to share with won't be able to access the file as somebody got there before them.

  12. Show total size of folders (both online and in app)

    Calculate and display the total size of a folder and all files within, both online and in the sync app.

    Currently you can only see the size of the folder if you downloaded all folder contents to your device. Otherwise it reports the system folder size of 0kb.

  14. Photos - Organize by year and then month (drill-down) and show item count in Web and mobile app

    At the moment Photos in both the mobile app and the Web app are organized by month.
    I'm suggesting a two level way of organizing photos:
    Top level - Year
    Second Level - Month
    Also, the ability to see the total item count (aka how many photos and videos you currently have backed up) as well as an item count per year and month.

  15. Improve context menu with Proton icons

    The right-click menu already exists. It has options for "Always keep on device" and "Free up space". Neither of these options make it clear they come from ProtonDrive. Add a small icon to the left of the option title as many other programs do so users can associate the action with the corresponding program.

  16. Add exclusions for trash folders

    Please add an ability to exclude certain folders from having deleted files landing in trash. We should be able to mark certain folders as excluded, where if they're deleted, they're deleted for good.

  17. Photo backup by album should save to albums

    In the mobile app I can select which albums to backup on Proton drive. When saved to Proton drive the photos should stay sorted into those albums.

    Additionally, being able to create share links to those albums would be good as well.

  18. Make the Files button always go to root folder ("home")

    Proton Drive on iphone:
    I think the "files" button at the bottom should always take you to the root folder
    (same logic and function as on dropbox)

  19. Choose photo sync folder per device

    Hello,

    It would be good to allow the user to select the folder where Photos are synced to for each device, as done by other services.

    This would be particularly useful when a user possesses more than one mobile device and wishes to keep the photos of each of those devices separate from the others.

    Example:
    Mobile 1: PhotoFolder1
    Mobile 2: PhotoFolder2
    Mobile 3: PhotoFolder1

    Thank you

  20. 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…
