1. Windows client on mutli-account PC

   I am using two different user accounts on my PC (one for work, one for private purposes).

   I want to access and sync my private Proton Drive folder while using my work profile. OneDrive supports this, I just create a folder, e.g., c:\OneDrive and enable sync on both user accounts. If I do the same with Proton Drive, it tells me that's not possible because the folder has to be empty to initialize the sync process.

   Right now, I would need two separate folders with the same content, wasting disk space and bandwidth because all files would be synced twice.

2. Synoloy FTP Drive

   Hello,
   I am a new VPN+Drive customer
   I will contact you regarding the Proton Drive part
   I have some questions :

   1. On Drive you can see the size of the files but at the directory level, no information on the number of files and the size of the directory
      It is important for me to see if all files are present (number)

   2. I have a Synology server with the Cloud Sync app. My server serves as a first backup and I used Cloud Sync for a second external backup
      to the Web (Infomaniak). But for you this manipulation does not work

   3. FTP connection impossible to manage my space

   Do you plan to resolve these needs?

   THANKS

3. Copy document from website to proton drive directly.

   Instead of transferring from this computer ("uploading") to Proton Drive, how about transferring from another computer to Proton Drive?

   That is, allow providing a URL to a document so it can be transferred from some other computer to Proton Drive.

   I have a personal website and would like to transfer a copy of a couple files without "downloading" them first. Less transferring (less network traffic) that way. Ideally, the transfer request would not come from my computer, but instead from the Proton Drive server (or whatever other computer you all want to use that is in your control for security).

   Transferred only once seems more secure than transferred twice (once from website to computer, then from computer to Proton Drive). No need to rely on the computer (f.e. a public computer in a library) to be secure (f.e. not modifying downloaded files, not rerouting a downloaded file, etc.).

   And wouldn't the HTTPS request from the Proton Drive server help with securing the transfer directly to Proton Drive? Bypassing the public computer at the library would feel a little more secure, but maybe it isn't really? I don't know. Just an idea.

4. change wallpaper on ProtonMail web app based on Photos on ProtonDrive

   Hi
   on Gmail, we can change wallpaper based on the photos on Google Drive and I hope ProtonMail can do the same thing with ProtonDrive. What do you think?

6. File Symbolic Linking

   One of my uses of ProtonDrive is to archive documents. For these, I wish to be able to archive them in multiple places; the same document has relevance to both the new house I purchased as well as to taxes. As such, i would like to have a link to the file appear in both of these places.
   Currently, to support this I must upload the file twice into the two locations, potentially requiring me to download the file prior to re-uploading it.

7. Customize Folders to backup structure

   An option that doesn't really exists with the competitors, having the ability to choose a target folder for the backups with ProtonDrive.

   Right now, if I have a folder "Photos" and I would love to only backup a few folders in it (ex: 2020, 2021, etc.) I have to select those but they will appear on Proton as 2020, 2021. If we could specific the destination folder I could have a "Photos" folder to which I'd select to backup 2020, 2021 in.

   Current:
   2020 -> 2020
   2021 -> 2021

   Future:
   2020 -> Photos\2020
   2021 -> Photos\2021

   Giving more flexibility to ProtonDrive not only allows a complete and efficient sync but makes it a complete and convenient backup solution to handle the day-to-day and organize users' data recovery.

   Thanks for the great work!
   John

8. Upload from a hyperlink

   Ideally we would have remote upload but then I guess that's not possible due to E2EE. So, instead give a web UI feature, where instead of having to manually download and then upload, the Web UI itself downloads the file onto storage and encrypts and uploads it.

10. Allow the android client to access cameras connected via USB directly.

    Right now, if you want to back up photos from a camera to your ProtonDrive account via a tablet, the most straightforward way is to import the images to the tablet, and then open the ProtonDrive app and upload them. I propose skipping the middle step and simply upload them from the camera directly to ProtonDrive.

    1. If you have an inexpensive tablet, the number of photos to backup might easily exceed the space available on the tablet.
    2. Such backups might be crucial for photojournalists using professional cameras in ares where security forces sometime confiscate cameras. The alternative is hiding the sd card the images are on and hoping it is not discovered in a search.

12. Web PDF Viewer Improvements

    Here are possible improvements to the pdf viewer (web):
    - Remove encryption
    - Convert to PDF/A
    - Convert to Linearized PDF

    I think the first one is the most useful for people. And once this is implemented, the other two could be easy to implement (given the toolchain required for the the first one).

13. Shared folders linked to Proton account (not just public links)

    Privacy and security are at the core of Proton's mission. Sharing folders through Proton Drive should be no different. A public URL for sharing stops short of privacy and security. A model that upholds privacy and security would be an invite model. Invite a specific person to the folder, if they do not have a Proton account, they can create one. They use this login to access files in the shared folder.

    A public URL has zero traceability to who is accessing the data. An invitation to a specific person would allow for traceability of the files in the folder being shared by the Proton Drive customer.

    An additional option to select members of an organization in a Business/Professional or Visionary Plan to share a Proton Drive folder with is also in alignment with specific people having access to specific things in the name of privacy and security.

14. Activiy overview on Web UI as in the Windows app

    The Drive Web UI should show the Activity (document up/downloads etc.) just as in the Windows application. This is generally handy, but even more if you run crude sync setups and to be able to check status without being "on that machine".

15. Share upload folder link

    Share folders with the option to allow upload of files. This is an essencial feature to allow secure file transfer. Bonus points if notifications for uploaded files are present from day1.

    This is especially important for companies, where receiving large files is sometimes troublesome.

    Myself and my family currently use a (payed) competitor that provides this feature, and I can assure you I will not be adopting proton drive unless an equivalent feature is available.

    PS: All the said.. I'm not sure posting ideas on this platform is of any use, provided proton has not given any feedback to any of the other ideas already posted..

16. ProtonDrive Screenshot instant sharing feature (Like dropbox has now)

    I think everyone who is using or have been used Dropbox for files sharing on macOS was happy and find it so useful and time saving feature - instant screenshot sharing option. For those who doesn't know I explain how it should work.

    You make screenshot on the macOS (SHIFT+CMD+4) and your screenshot is instantly uploaded to ProtonDrive and the URL link copied to clipboard.

    Asking for macOS Client firstly, but if possible to make it for Linux and Windows as well, why not to include it in the roadmap?

20. Crucial information on reinstalltion is not documented, seriuosly impacting on what is cloud stored. Default setting not appropriate

    New features:
    * Relevant documentation
    * The removal process in the app should NOT have the default set to "Remove Proton Drive settings and previously remembered credentials"
    * Removal of a named folder from the list of folders that set to be synced is too simple.

    I could not find any documentation on this, only found out by multiple tests.

    If your plan is to reinstall the Proton Drive app and expect to return to syncing as before with all previous versions intact - Be careful.

    If you have to reinstall on the same PC/laptop at program removal time you MUST uncheck "Remove Proton Drive settings and previously remembered credentials".

    If you leave at the default and remove previous settings and credentials the replacement app installation is unaware of any previous data synced, another version of the PC is initialized in the cloud and its starts uploading all of the data again. You end up two copies of the data in the cloud. Each independent copy with their own set of versions.

    ---

    Removal of folder from the synced list is too simple. A single yes/no box to confirm is not adequate protection because the folder is instantly deleted from the cloud

    The user should be more challenged, cause they could lose a lot a single push of a button. Suggest they should verify by typing the name of the folder they wish to delete in the yes/no box or the first yes/no box is followed by another - "Do you really want to do this?"
