  1. 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…

  2. 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…

  3. Support ReFS and Storage Spaces for Windows

    I recently received Beta access to Proton Drive. However, it is mostly unusable to me as I cannot have my sync folder on my Storage Spaces drive that uses ReFS.

    Boot drive with NTFS works properly.

  4. 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).

  5. Sync Google Drive and Photos to Proton

    Any docs/pictures on the Google service need to be automatically transferred over to Proton. This keeps a seemless experience on the device, while not retaining (long term) data with Google.

    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.

  8. 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.

  11. User option to disable Proton Drive link sharing

    The ability to share content from my drive makes me uneasy, in case I did this accidentally. I would be much more comfortable if there was a setting to disable all sharing for the account if user desires.

  15. Upload Folder Option in Proton Drive for Android App

    It would be great to have the option to upload a folder or multiple Folders from Mobile (android) to Proton Drive.

    Currently, we have the option to select and upload multiple files in Android.

    The upload Folder feature only seems to be available on the Web.

    Also could not find anywhere to see if this is already in the works

  16. 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.

  17. Proton Drive as storage location for ALL NextCloud Storage Needs

    Make Proton Drive directly link-able with NextCloud for ALL NextCloud storage needs. Photos, documents, contacts, mail, etc, etc.

    Currently running a personal instance of NextCloud on LINODE web based server....but Linode's US based storage is not as secure as Proton's and too expensive. I want the ability to create / edit / etc documents (built into NextCloud) and then SAVE the files within super secure Proton Drive. Is this do-able now? How?

    I REALLY want to leave Google Online docs and photos 100% and Proton may be my best bet. HELP

  18. 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…

  19. 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,…
