  1. 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.

  2. Syncing between devices: support junctions in "My files" folder

    In this folder "C:\Users\WINUSER\Proton Drive\PROTONUSER\My files" that gets created by Proton Drive, a user should be able to include one or more Windows junctions (which point to folders elsewhere on the drive).

    This would allow a user to set up a junction pointing to the same arbitrary folder XYZ on two or more computers, which would keep the contents synced between those computers and the Proton Drive.

    (I have two computers on which I want to keep data in sync.)

  3. Do not download "other computers" files by default

    During a second installation of ProtonDrive software on a laptop, I had to re-download dozens of gigabytes from the first desktop PC.

    I wish this could have been deactivated, I would have just retrieved a file or two from the web interface if necessary.

  5. 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…

  6. 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.

  7. Viewing Options

    It would be nice to have three folder viewing options (list, thumbnail, large thumbnail). Every view should be independently selectable in each hierarchy level p.ex.:

    Main Folder list view
    Subfolder small thumbnails
    Subfolder content large thumbnails

    If 'list view' is now chosen in one of the hierarchy levels, it automatically applies to all the other levels. The shared folder view is always shown in 'list view' for the recipient. It would be easy, if the chosen view would automatically apply to the shared folder view too (or elegant, if a choice option for the recipient could be offered to change…

  8. Alter documents in Drive without downloading, altering, and re-uploading/replacing

    I would like to be able to interact with and alter/edit documents inside the drive. It is cumbersome to make a simple edit to a document by having to download, alter elsewhere, and then upload and delete the older version.

  9. 1 click to get back to root level of Proton Drive on iOS

    When navigating in Proton Drive in iOS, sometimes I just want to go right back to the top(root) level of the drive and have to keep clicking on the back arrow to navigate up to the root.

    Would be really nice if I could just click on the 'folder' icon on the bottom toolbar to bring me right back to the top level and use the back arrow for going up one level at a time.

    An alternative UI would be to click and hold on the back arrow to go to the top level but this might be less…

  10. 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.

  11. Missing file replacement dialog in proton drive app

    Proton Drive Android App is missing the file replacement dialog. Whenever we try to upload a same file in a folder, the app just renames it to <filename>_(1).<extension>, which is super annoying. I need to delete the old file and then upload new. This is not an issue in web client (even on android browser).

  12. Distinguish between uploaded files and local files

    To somehow be able to distinguish between files that have been uploaded and which have not, so that I can delete them locally.
    For instance, sometimes some uploads fail and it is hard to tell which ones and re upload them

  13. Enable multiple file selections for offline availability

    Using the mobile app, currently it is only possible to select one file at a time for making it available offline. It would be useful if we could select more than one as we may not always have Internet access and it is time consuming to have to wait for one download at a time.

  14. Add(/download) whole Folder

    waiting for automatic synchronizations, it would be useful to be able to upload an entire folder, without having to select the files one by one.

  16. Calidad de imágenes

    Sometimes when I'm going to re-disload an image already up, it gets lowered, I get lower, fix that.

  18. Show data for both files when uploading a duplicate.

    It would be VERY helpful if the dialogue that comes up when loading a file into Drive that has the same name would show the basic data for each file - the last modified date and size particularly. That way it would be easy to make a decision whether to replace, rename or skip.

  19. Root access to proton drive similar to Dropbox/Onedrive instead of "My files"

    Please change this for a better file experience. Many of us map our files, and this current form is messy. Also "Files" should have been capitalized, this looks ridiculous.

  20. Being able to identify and delete the largest files

    With Google, there is a page that will help you to understand what service (Drive, Mail, Photos, et cetera) are consuming what % (or amount of GB) of the total diskspace available in your plan.

    As second step it would be very useful to be able to filter on file-sizes over all sources (Mail, Drive, Photo) and being able to delete the selected files to free up space efficiently and have regular housekeeping.
