  1. 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?

  2. Server-Only Storage for Proton Drive

    A "vault" in the cloud for ProtonDrive where you can transfer files that won't sync to your desktop or other devices. Best example I can find is what sync.com already does.

  3. Limit Sync Bandwidth

    Thank you for honoring Visionary subscribers with the extra capacity of Proton Drive. Please consider adding a setting that would limit the bandwidth during sync operations. The transfer speed is consuming all available bandwidth and it is difficult to do anything else when the sync process is running.

  4. Exclude folders/files

    Thank you for the desktop application, it was necessary and I am very satisfied, excellent job. On the other hand, it would be very useful to have the ability to exclude files/folders, either by selecting them or using a regular expression. For example, excluding folders like 'node_modules'.

  7. Require 2FA and password before accessing Proton Drive in Windows Explorer

    I would like the addition of an option in the Settings menu.

    If this option is checked, data 'at rest' in the Proton Drive is encrypted and unusable in a Windows computer by default, on each startup. Only after entering the Proton password and 2FA does the Proton app unlock, decrypt all files and make read/write possible.

    To clarify, it could still sync files while in 'encrypted' mode from the cloud to on-premise, but always encrypted first. And usable upon unlock.

    Then when the user actually wants to do something, they can enter credentials and decrypt their Proton Drive. Kind…

  9. Show sync progress

    The desktop app could show the sync progress (files synced/total files to be synced) in the Activity tab. That would make it easier to guess how long it might take for the whole syncing process to get completed.

  11. Proton Drive Android App — sync with a local folder

    I would really like the ability to not only have the offline-available files be accessable from within the Android app, but to also be able to specify a local folder on my device where those files would be located, so I could access them from any other app. Any remote changes are synced to the local files, any local changes are synced to the remote files. One of the reasons is that I need a way to sync my KeePass database between my desktop and my phone. Right now I'm using OneDrive for it, which I believe provides some kind…

  12. Open documents support (https://opendocumentformat.org/)

    Hi team,

    I want to suggest compatibility with open document formats (https://opendocumentformat.org/).

    I use LibreOffice instead M1cr0s0ft Office since 2012.

    OpenDocument files are zip files with changed extensions, inside, XML and some other formats.

    It is just a suggestion, FLOSS enthusiast will love being able to open (or edit, who knows :D) open document files.

    Regards!

  13. SHARED FOLDERS : Subfolders and contents need download counters and a share indicators.

    If you share a folder only the folder pointed to by the URL link records if it is shared and how many downloads have occurred using that link.

    Within the shared folder the "details" menu option of each subfolder and file indicate they are not shared and doesn't record if they have been downloaded.

    All shared objects need to indicate they are being shared and how many downloads have occurred. Currently the management of shared objects is very limited if you don't have this information.

  14. Register Proton Drive mobile app to open local PDF files

    The Proton Drive mobile app can open PDF files uploaded within the app. However, it is not registered to open PDF files from within the system (e.g. a PDF file inside the File Manager). Adding this won't be difficult, especially since Proton Drive mobile app can already open these files.

  15. Self-Destructing Files

    Self-Destructing Files: I believe there is an opportunity to enhance file security by implementing self-destructing functionality for shared files and files in the deleted files folder. Currently, shared files do not have The ability to self-destruct, and files in the deleted files folder remain indefinitely until manually deleted. Adding a self-destruct timer for both shared files and files in the deleted files folder would provide users with greater control over data privacy and eliminate the need for manual deletion.

  17. Proton Automatic Secure Backup for local PC

    I currently use Google to back up my local PC files, and have found it both convenient and very reliable, but because I am aware of the privacy issues, I first I use a product called BoxCryptor to encrypt the files before they are handed off to Google. This has worked well, balances the convenance of cloud backup with data security. But BoxCytptor has been acquired by another company, and so now I’m going to have to locate an alternative solution. I would prefer to simply back up my data directly to my Proton drive and call it a day…

  18. Manage user rights on shared files or folders

    when sharing a folder or a file, it would be great to be able to choose the other users' rights, like:
    - View only
    - Modification of the file (or add/remove files for a shared folder)
    - Resharing

  20. proton drive backup app for windows

    I would like an app for Windows to do only backup, not sync, of my local folders on Proton Drive, like the Amazon Photos app. I don't want that, in case the files are removed from the cloud, they're also removed from my local pc.
