    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?

  4. shared folder notifications of file upload

    It would be great if it was possible to have a customizable notification email sent to designated addresses when a file gets uploaded to a shared folder, both between proton users and external users.

    The same for if people have a drop folder, that the owner user would receive a notification of that activity.

    This is especially useful for business activity where for a time you may have to share files securely and in real time. For example: if you are in legal proceedings and need to supply documents to your lawyer on a regular basis, you can do so…

  5. Navigate by path

    I would like to be able to navigate by a known path.

    Right now, I have to manually click down each node of the path to get to my destination folder. Folders with many files/folders take some time to populate to be able to click on. If I know my path, I'd like to be able to enter the folder path to skip navigating each node on the path.

  8. 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…

  9. Windows app: give same options as in web and Android to share files, etc

    Currently the desktop Windows app only lists what is on Proton Drive
    There is no functionality like being able to share files, etc. These functions are in the web and Android version. Please add to Windows app.

  10. Markdown support

    We all need the key feature, which is Docs and Sheets support, but in the meantime would be also nice to deliver markdown support to be able to create it directly in the drive and export it to PDF for example. I guess that most of cases people need to create some kind of statements or easy documents and export them, and it could be done just with markdown integration as we can see with HackMD or Obsidian and other. From my point of view, it's a trade-off between developer complexity and user usability.

  12. 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…

  13. 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.

  16. Select Video Player

    At the moment, the ability to open or stream a video on Proton Drive is restricted to the default player via andriod mobile. Could we explore the possibility of allowing users to choose their preferred video player, similar to the feature offered by Dropbox?

  17. 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.

  18. Release a visionary plan for black friday.

    For those of us who initially missed out, it would be nice to have an option for visionary. Even if it is more expensive than the original, this would be a nice way to have a symbiotic relationship with Proton and also potentially drum up sales for Proton.

  20. 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".
