"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) FailedCONTEXT:
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…3 votes -
Invalid drive types
Please allow the location for Proton Drives local storage to be set to a mounted VeraCrypt container. This will give offline local storage for immediate file access while waiting for the new sync to occur.

Improve Windows context menu
With windows explorer and Proton Drive alikes, I am used to having contextual menu with options like:
- Always keep on this device
- Free-up space
- See online
- ...It is partially implemented when browsing within the proton drive folder, but it missing with the other synced folders like "Desktop" or "My Documents"
PS: Along with the contextual menus, it would be nice to have information like sync status appearing in the explorer like with most Proton Drive counterparts.

Viewing Options
It would be nice to have three folder viewing options (list, thumbnail, large thumbnail). Every view should be independently selectable in each hierarchy level p.ex.:
Main Folder list view
Subfolder small thumbnails
Subfolder content large thumbnailsIf 'list view' is now chosen in one of the hierarchy levels, it automatically applies to all the other levels. The shared folder view is always shown in 'list view' for the recipient. It would be easy, if the chosen view would automatically apply to the shared folder view too (or elegant, if a choice option for the recipient could be offered to change…

Missing file replacement dialog in proton drive app
Proton Drive Android App is missing the file replacement dialog. Whenever we try to upload a same file in a folder, the app just renames it to <filename>_(1).<extension>, which is super annoying. I need to delete the old file and then upload new. This is not an issue in web client (even on android browser).

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?

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.

Show previews for RAW image files
As a Photographer, its so important to be able to see previews of my RAW files in my cloud backup, it's currently impossible to find the photos I need easily, which makes it really hard for me to justify moving away from Google Drive, which I'm keen to do.

Option to choose the type of link to be created for sharing with others: Read only or edit access
Although the option exist to create a sharing link but the link provides full fledged access, a user should be able to create a link which is still secured by password but is not giving edit access to the person holding the link and the password. The feature already exists in microsoft's "one drive".

Sync files from one computer to 1 or more others
I often work on data or files on my desktop, and later move to my laptop to continue working. My understanding of the current sync a folder function is that files from each computer are segregated in the cloud. There's no way to sync a folder on one computer and have that folder mirrored on another. This functionality is like SugarSync.

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

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.

Improve drive sync algorithm to greatly improve performance
Proton Drive is extremely slow to upload my files, it's going at around ~200 Kbps, whereas speedtest.net shows I can do 3.62 Mbps upload.
This is especially noticeable when there is a large number of small files to sync (eg, photo collection).
I suspect that a potential cause is that new threads might be created to upload each individual file, resulting in the unnecessary opening and closing of many connections. Perhaps a better solution would be for each upload thread to establish a continuous connection and then pipe multiple files through that connection as raw data, which can be split…

Do not download "other computers" files by default
During a second installation of ProtonDrive software on a laptop, I had to re-download dozens of gigabytes from the first desktop PC.
I wish this could have been deactivated, I would have just retrieved a file or two from the web interface if necessary.

Include search bar for proton drive in the mobile app. Currently, the only way to search my drive is if I open a browser in desktop mode.

Proton Drive should preserve file/folder created & modified timestamps on download
Proton Drive is currently not preserving the created and modified timestamps of files and folders when downloaded back onto a device (at least not using the Windows client). The timestamps are indeed correctly stored on the server when viewing the items using the web interface. This is already a feature of OneDrive and is important for some users who rely on documents having accurate timestamped objects.

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…15 votes -
Programming: No spaces in Proton Drive Desktop sync path ("My files" folder cannot be renamed)
The root "My files" sync directory where all files reside under contains a space which is problematic for development reasons.
Currently I have "D:\ProtonDrive\My files\Coding..." and this isn't ideal because it makes dealing with development files tedious in some cases. If "My files" could be renamed to without spaces, this would resolve the issue. The folder cannot be renamed due to Windows permissions (and doing so would probably break things anyway).
A symbolic link with a spaceless name (e.g. "MyFiles") cannot be created to work around this, again due to permissions (access denied).
Please allow us to rename the "My…

folder structure
Add an option in the windows Proton Drive App, to change the folder structure from:
"Proton Drive/username/My files/DATA I STORE"
to
"Proton Drive/DATA I STORE".the current folder structure is unnecessary and confusing, the "username/My files" folders are not necessary if you have only one Proton account.
