1. Enable automatic resolution adjustment of photos to save space

   The automatic sync of photos from a phone to Proton Drive is very useful. The Drive space fills up fast though because the photos resolution is kept unchanged when backing up a photo to Drive.
   It would be very useful to add a feature (allowing the user to activate or deactivate it) to automatically adjust the resolution of the back-up to save space. In the vast majority of cases, a much lower resolution than the original photo is more than enough, so this would save many users a lot of space.

2. Command line access to the Proton Drive folder (mount point) on MacOS

   Is the mount point available on MacOS? I'd like to access the files from a terminal and emacs.

3. crop

   Crop Photos.

   Currently, editing a photo on your phone doesn’t update the version saved in Proton Drive. I often need to crop the photos.

4. Theme Based Search (Proton drive photos)

   I propose adding a theme-based search in Proton Drive, similar to Google Photos, while fully respecting privacy. The idea would be to use a local AI on the device to analyze images and generate encrypted tags or indexes, used only for searching. This way, the images would never leave the device or Proton servers.

   I’m not sure if this is technically feasible at scale, but with optimized LLMs and AI recognition models, it might be possible to find a balance between privacy and intelligent search, giving users a richer experience without compromising their personal data.

7. File tags, tag views, and at-rest encryption

   I'm currently a user of both Proton Drive and Standard Notes (SN). Both products serve different needs, but I can envision a world in which the best aspects of SN are merged into Proton Drive.

   A big weakness of Proton Drive's local file sync functionality comes from the fact that all files must be sync'd and that there is no opportunity to keep them encrypted at-rest. While users can certainly introduce a separate encryption/decryption step to the process of manipulating files, this opens up a window of vulnerability in which any locally running application with shell access can read the file; this is clearly unacceptable for sensitive data.

   Secondly, Proton Drive's reliance on a strict hierarchical file structure fails to leverage its cloud-based architecture to deliver a flexible user experience in which files can be organized and accessed via multiple contexts (i.e. just as you can add the same photo to multiple albums, you should be able to access the same file via different contexts). While users can introduce a separate file tagging step to the process and construct views using links, this is cumbersome, the implementation is platform-specific, and it introduces multiple additional points of failure for the user.

   I propose a multi-stage solution to address these shortcomings (these would be implemented in sequence until we have the final solution):
   1. Introduce the ability to exclude some files from the sync process, keeping them remotely encrypted and only accessible via the web client (this protects sensitive data from being accessible locally by bad actors)
   2. Introduce the ability to define tags, apply those tags to files, and define tag views (logical combinations of tags) that can be sync'd as a virtual view (e.g. "/My 2025 Documents/" is a view that captures the combination of tags "format/document" and "year/2025")
   3. Introduce the ability to specify a secondary encryption key to keep files encrypted at-rest even if they are sync'd; this then leads into...
   4. Introduce a native client that offers both local and remote file browsing, file management, and document editing and also supports tags, tag views, and secondary encryption/decryption for local files (i.e. the singular "Proton Drive" app in which you manage and access all of your files, tags, and views)

   If these features are implemented, they would neatly bridge the gap between Proton Drive and Standard Notes:
   - the low-level sync mechanism would continue to operate as expected
   - files could be part of multiple views / contexts (or not be part of any)
   - security would be maintained at-rest for sensitive data
   - document creation and editing could be managed from a native application that has access to both local and remote files

   I know this proposal encompasses multiple features, but I felt it was important to present them all at once in order to portray a complete and functional end-state.

   Thank you for reading.

9. Option to connect to Nikon Imaging cloud

   I realize this is probably a niche feature, but I would really like Proton Drive to be added to the options in Nikon Imaging Cloud for automatic uploads. At the moment I can choose, adobe lightroom, dropbox, google drive/photos etc.
   It would be really nice to have Proton Drive there!

10. Configure periodic sync of a file?

    Is there any type of configuration option for proton drive to periodically back up a specific file, as opposed to backing up only files for which the date/time/size has changed?

    For an encrypted container such as created by truecrypt or veracrypt, the date/time/size don't change even though the contents of the container are modified. Is there a way to configure proton drive to, for example, back up a specific file once a week?

    Thanks

11. Add light theme for Proton Drive desktop app

    The Proton Drive desktop app currently only supports a dark theme. Other Proton apps (Mail, Calendar, Drive web) already allow theme selection, so it would be great to have the same here.

    I realize dark themes are more trendy, but for me they have a negative effect - I feel more tired and even sleepy when using them. In bright rooms the reflections also make it harder on the eyes. A light theme helps me stay more productive and matches the rest of my system.

13. I'd like to share a photoalbum.

    I'm a hobby-photographer and i mainly bought proton drive to share pictures.
    The problem is, when uploading pictures as files, i can share them, but i can not view a prewiev on my phone, without having to download them. On the other side, when i upload them as pictures, i can not share them easily with friends. I want to share a link, from which they can view and download the pictures, without having to create an account on proton.

    This is just stupid and should not be that hard.

14. Bookmarks on phones

    Proton should add the ability to bookmark specific folders on Android and iOS devices, similar to the Quick Access feature on Windows. This would allow users to navigate to folders faster and jump between them with ease.

19. In proton PC app, show ALL the remaining files to sync, not only currently synced. Also for Proton drive mobile.

    In proton PC app, show ALL the remaining files to sync, when selecting folders for sync. Not only currently synced. You can also show the percentage of the sync in general and the time required (estimate) to sync all. The same I believe could be done for pictures in PC and mobile app pictures backup.

20. Add download permission and update already existing permission

    1. https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/932839-proton-drive/suggestions/43675374-share-upload-folder-link Folder sharing is nice but it would be nicer if:

    There should be these permissions for folders:

    Edit - download, upload, view, edit files in the folder (like proton docs, spreadsheets);
    View only - no download, no upload, only view, no edit;
    Upload only - no download, no view, upload, no edit;
    Upload and download - upload, view, download, no edit of the files in the folder (like proton docs, spreadsheets).

    There should be these permissions for docs:

    Edit - download, view, edit
    View only - no download, only view, no edit;

    There should be these permissions for other files not supported to edit (videos, music etc):

    Edit - download, view
    View only - no download, only view.

    1. You could add a download permission as a slider, the same way as there is a parameter for a link duration or password. If you revoke the permission for download the file cannot be download. If you assign it, it can be download. It could be shown only when selecting edit permission. Then Upload only and Upload and download can be merged into Upload and view and Only upload and the download permission can be toggleable.

    All permissions should be clearly explained with info icons next to what they grant. I didn't know that edit permission for folders lets you to upload files until I found the suggestion above and the admin's comment. For example edit permission for videos doesn't give any difference from view only.
