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…

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…

Auto-Lock After 'x' Number Of Minutes Of Inactivity (E.g. Logout If Idle For 10 Minutes)
I'd really like the ability to set the web app(s) -- e.g. drive.proton.me, mail.proton.me, etc., etc. -- to automatically lock if idle for 'x' number of minutes, such as after 2, 5, or 10 minutes of inactivity. Currently, the only other option is to uncheck the "stay logged in" at login, and even then it only logs you out if you've closed the browser (some people keep the web browser open indefinitely).

Sort Items By Type (E.g. Folders First, Then Files, Etc.)
Please add support to sort files/folders by type, such as being able to show folders first, then files below it -- when viewing items in Proton Drive.

Proton Drive API
It would be amazing to have an API (like https://developers.google.com/drive/api/v3/about-sdk) to be able to make scripts that could automate uploading important files to ProtonDrive using a language like Python or similar.

Family sharing
Add the ability to have a family plan for Drive like what Google Drive has. I currently have a family plan with Google drive and would like the ability to do that with Proton Drive which will allow me to finally break away from google completely.

Upload Folder
None of the other main cloud storage providers offer this either, so I'm not sure if it's a limitation, but I'd like the option to Upload a Folder, not just a File. This is for both web and app.
Copying individual files becomes laborious when backing up items that have further embedded folders, files and hidden files.

Proton Drive - Share link and share shows in other Proton users area
When I want to share a folder or file with another Proton Drive user I can either put in their user info for them to access it or I can send them the link. When they get it, they can go into their Drive and see my share in their "Sharing" section and they can view it without downloading. I'd also like to see restrictions where i can make my file/folder viewable only and they can't download it.
I think the current way of sharing, where they have to download it makes my information very insecure. Because the shares always…34 votes -
Add "Copy to folder" in Proton Web
Currently there is "Move to folder" feature. But to duplicate a file or folder you have to re-upload the entire thing.
Use case: Assume you have folder "MyDocuments" of 50 GB and you want a second backup of "MyDocumentsOLD" as a sort of version control just in case you break something in MyDocuments or corrupt a zipped file.
Problems with existing feature: It takes a LONG time to upload 50GB to Proton Drive. An internal Copy feature would be zero time for the user.
Also, you might have changed local files, that you don't want to upload to the backup,…12 votes -
Video Thumbnail
For videos uploaded to Drive, please include a thumbnail image from that video to uniquely identify each video, instead of only manually adding a title to each video.

Separate data limits for Proton Mail and Drive
Currently, as far as I understand, Proton Ultimate paid plan gives 500GB across all the mail accounts AND Drive.
This is silly and annoying... I have already asked for and voted for MUCH higher Drive data capacities (minimum 1TB) because 500GB is simply not adequate.
But to then have to worry that the 15 email addresses I can use with my Proton Ultimate would start eating into my Drive data is crazy! If I value something enough to pay for cloud storage, I consider it IMPORTANT and don't want the possibility of a bunch of emails with heavy attachments causing…8 votes -
Allow merge of folders within Proton Drive
I've uploaded a significant amount of data, however some of it may be duplicate. When I try to merge a folders within Proton Drive (select and say move to folder where a folder with that name already exists) I get an error about a folder with that name already existing in the destination rather and being prompted for whether I was to skip or overwrite.

drive / document editor / onlyoffice
Hello world.
I had to upgrade my account just to see there is nothing worthy in the PM Drive except simple file storage. I will cancel my subscription. It would be nice to only see what is available in Drive for free.
I am considering move away from Google. But Drive with Document Editor is essential.
Please consider adding online document editor to PM Drive, for instance OnlyOffice.
Thanks :-)

Sync Timing - Preset specific time, date, frequency to sync files & folders to ProtonDrive
What is missing and to make things infinitely easier is not only syncing which is CRITICAL, but to have functionality to set the frequency... continual on changes, specific days, daily, weekly, monthly, semi annual along with the time to do so. This could be extended to be a single upload to regular on the specified intervals. Given that a file size can be 200GB (full system back up for example) picking a time and date to upload such a file is important due to the time and bandwidth that this would take.
This along with unlimited file size will differentiate…4 votes -
Obsidian Sync
Obsidian is a very popular, open source notes tool that manages everything directly on the file system leaving it open to many different syncing options.
Pairing Obsidian with a Proton Drive syncing option would create an excellent privacy focused notes solution. Obsidian has a plugin ecosystem that allows for additional functionality and by creating a Proton Drive sync option that could be utilized on both mobile and desktop applications you would simultaneously address a market need while expanding the scope of the drive offering to something on the level of a free office suite.
