  1. button to resync file

    Button to resync a file

    Sometimes I'll be working on something and need it moved to the other computer. I have the folder synced, but it can take a while for proton drive to get around to uploading and then downloading the file. I want a button I can press (maybe when I right click on the file) that will sync it to the drive on the uploading computer immediately, and another button to immediately run a resync on the downloading computer to check for, and then download the new file.

  2. Machine assigment selection on first run of proton Drive

    Proton Drive should be able to recognise or atleast ask you when you install it if you want to asign the backup to an actually backed up host for restoration purposes.

    F.E: Someone needs to fully format his PC and when it does it and installs protondrive, the application asks if we want assign and restore from an existing machine backup.

    This also will prevent to bloat protondrive storage use and make it a lot more useful.

    Also we should be able to delete old machines registered.

    This feature is already on Microsoft Onedrive

  6. Remove [local] files when deleting/uninstalling Proton Drive from client device

    Recently I discovered that when uninstalling Proton Drive (Windows) all of the files that had been synced to the local machine remained accessible. Changes to these files of course wouldn't be synced back to the server but would be accessible from the local machine.

    I propose that when uninstalling Proton Drive from a computer there's either:

    a) an option to remove local copies of the files

    b) The files are automatically removed after a warning stating that by uninstalling Proton Drive locally stored copies WILL be deleted

    c) at a minimum a warning that locally stored files will NOT be…

  7. Ability to set the amount of concurrent files being synced

    The Proton Drive Client for Desktop Operating Systems should give you the option to change the amount of concurrent files being synced.
    Currently when checking the Activity tab, I can see its about 4-6, being able to increase this (especially for small files) would (probably) greatly improve performance.

  8. Consistent UI experience when using mobile apps

    When using Mail, Calendar and Drive they are like from different companies. It would be great to have consistent UI experience when using them.

  9. I have a Samsung Android phone. I have Drive on it and need to have all folders password protected except for uploading photos automatically

    I have a Samsung Android phone. I have Drive on it and i must be logged on Drive for my photos to automatically go to Drive 'cloud'. If I am not logged on, then photos do not go to the Drive 'cloud'. When I am logged on Drive so the photos will upload, it makes all files on Drive accessible if my phone is compromised. I want to have all other folders password protected, but photos able to upload and not be password protected. I hope you get what I am asking for. Thanks!

  10. Option to "open with..."

    Being dependent on Google Docs and Sheets, I would love to use Proton Drive to backup everything but then I'd need the option to open files that Proton Drive cannot open with another app - thus "open with..." Google Drive, etc.

  12. Docs: AsciiDoc Export/Download

    Add a new option to Export and Download a Doc in AsciiDoc format. This would be similar to what you do now with Markdown, but the syntax is slightly different.

    See this reference for the difference in syntax. https://docs.asciidoctor.org/asciidoc/latest/asciidoc-vs-markdown/

  16. Add a comment to an upload

    In Proton Drive, I would like to add comments to the files I upload.

    I use it to backup generations of programs and it would be very helpful to be able to note what changes are in each generation.

  17. Provide a preview for all files on Mac OS

    The problem with Mac OS is that only locally downloaded files have a thumbnail.

    When you have a large amount of data on ProtonDrive, you don't download all the files locally, but you still need to move or reorganise them.

    This is difficult to do without the preview.

  18. 2FA protection for certain files and folders

    Drive should have something like the "Personal Vault" from OneDrive.

    Everything in the Proton Drive is available all the time everywhere. As some files are extremely critical, but dont need to be looked at or changed all the time from everywhere, this is a convenient weakness.

    Example: I don't want my Bitcoin recovery phrase on the android app to be be "protected" with a fingerprint, and on the unlocked PC not protected at all.

  19. Aggressive Syncing Option

    Option to set certain folders to "aggressively" sync. I've found that I will modify a directory on one PC. Close it, go to another PC, open it in an application, and it will have to download new versions before I can work with it. Aggressive syncing would sync immediately. Alternatively a "force sync" option to force syncing prior to attempting to access the files could work as well.

  20. Implement Paperless-ngx type system - desirable emergent behaviour

    I wanted to raise the idea of implementing a system like paperless-ngx (https://docs.paperless-ngx.com/) into the Drive product.

    I feel the way file management is currently done these days is a little outdated - we no longer need to organise documents like filing cabinets.

    Implementing a system like this benefits protonmail too, by (auto) consuming attachments from emails. This would also be desirable by business and individuals.
