  1. Show sync progress

    The desktop app could show the sync progress (files synced/total files to be synced) in the Activity tab. That would make it easier to guess how long it might take for the whole syncing process to get completed.

  3. photo desktop

    Hello!

    These features are VERY essential for a minimum usefulness of the app...

    • Photo folder (so far only available on web view - why???) should be synced with the desktop versions on a "Photo" folder
    • We must be able to move the photos to Drive folders
    • Syncing of the backed up photos in a folder-to-folder system, where a folder named as the original source is created inside the "Photo" folder
    • Like many other ideas posted here: albuns organization, filters by date / creation / etc.

    Thanks!

  4. Move photos from photos tab to other folders

    Hi, thanks for making Drive available for Linux. I use Fedora 39 KDE.
    I also use Photo backup via Android (Samsung S23)
    When I open all my files/photos in Linux web browesr, if I right click images, I can move to respective folders. As well as preview, move,rename, get link & delete.
    If I open the folder that uploads Photos, via Android, this option is not available. Only download, upload or delete.
    Perhaps this is a feature in the making?

  5. Multiple Shared Drives / Folders

    We request the introduction of a feature in Proton Drive that allows users to create and manage multiple shared drives, each with its own set of users and permissions. These shared drives should be fully integrated into the Proton Drive ecosystem, appearing with a complete hierarchy of folders and files across all platforms (web application, Windows, macOS, Linux, Android).

    Feature Details:

    Multiple Shared Drives: Users should be able to create distinct shared drives for different projects or groups. Each shared drive should operate independently, allowing for separate management of users, permissions, and storage quotas.

    User and Permission Management: Administrators of…

  7. Delete phone photos after upload

    Option to delete uploaded photos from phone

    Just uploading pictures is not enough if I need to check and delete the pictures by hand. There should be the option to one-click delete uploaded pictures or do that automatically after a certain time.

  8. A Proton Gallery or Sync?

    What would be more important for Proton Drive right now? A Gallery separate from Drive, since both are different functions, or a synchronization of devices with internal storage (folders)?
    Or even better, a cloud Proton Gallery app that displays all the media from the Proton Drive backup?

    Indeed, a Proton Gallery would be interesting, with options and functions of a normal Gallery and Proton Drive, with offline media viewing and control of media saved online, such as the option to keep multiple versions of a Drive file that could be very useful when editing or changing the media.

    For example:

  9. Edit Markdown or txt files directly

    I have a bunch of markdown and txt files I'd love to migrate over from my current cloud service. I can store them, but editing them creates a new file in the ProtonDrive format. It would be great to be able to edit these files directly so any online changes can be synced with the desktop app.

  10. Share documents with non-Proton users via link

    Currently when I share a document via email, the person I emailed is required to make a Proton account in order to view or edit the shared file. I would like to be able to send someone a link (by email or any other method, such as a private message) and they should be able to open and view the file. Google Drive does this.

  11. iOS upload photos in the background

    It is my understanding the iOS photos will upload to Proton drive only if you open the Proton drive app, but it would be much better for photos to be backed up automatically, without needing to open the Proton Drive app.

  12. Nix package for linux client

    The first step would be making a linux-compatible client (see https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/932839-proton-drive/suggestions/45271456-linux-client).

    After that, making it into a nix package would be trivial.

  13. Partner with OnlyOffice or LibreOffice to completely replace Google Ecosystem

    Instead of making Proton Docs, Slides, etc. which take forever to make, just partner with a privacy based office suite like OnlyOffice to make everything easier.

  14. Copy Dropbox's Selective Sync feature - choose what NOT to pull from the cloud

    Dropbox has a feature they refer to as "Selective Sync". It allows me to select folders that have been synced to the cloud by other computers using my Dropbox account that I do NOT want to have accessible on this computer. I am trying to switch from Dropbox to Proton Drive, but the lack of this feature is giving me heartburn. On one of my machines, I have thousands of files that I want to be backed up offsite, but I don't want them to show up on all my other computers that use PD. I realize they are just…

  15. Fix Proton Drive Photo backup date recognition

    Currently, when backing up or uploading photos to Proton Drive, it ignores Date Created and Last Modified dates, and instead seems to use the uploaded date as the date in the photo timeline, meaning migrating to Proton Drive for all photos results in loosing the timeline previous to the upload date, as all images are now stored on the same date.
    An improvement would be to use either the files date created or last modified dates to designate where it should be on the Proton Drive timeline
    Thanks

  16. Warn/prohibit use of filenames incompatible with filesystems commonly used on Windows, macOS, Linux.

    Currently Proton drive does not warn when files saved, e.g. in macOS, have filenames incompatible with Windows filesystems. It would be greatly appreciated if a user was warned before the conflict arise when trying to check synchronisation in a different OS.

  17. More storage options 5T + and more affordables plans... maybe offering 2year subscription plans

    Please offer more storage options, at more affordable rate... maybe 2yearly plans too.. similarly to IceDrive. Their implementation as system hard drive is great too. Would love to see this feature on protondrive as I think more user would switch from Icedrice or other cloud services... For professional users Proton is just not enough for the price.

  18. Organize pictures with folders or tags

    So I just don't understand how we ended up without any way to organize the photo section of proton drive? I mean it's only organized by date essentially as close as I can tell.

    The problem comes when comparing this to Google photos which I currently pay for and have significant data there, is they allow me to take the files and put keywords in the files under the details area.

    Google also allows me to make folders of specific photos, so they can be organized. I'm just wondering if we can't put some folders in proton drive / photos…

  20. Proton Drive Icon in Mailbox

    In my Proton mailbox, have an icon that takes me directly to Proton Drive. Can be below Calendar icon. So that I can just click it once and it will take me to Drive.
