  1. Import or sync from other online cloud storage services

    I would like to be able to link/hook/connect to services such as: mega.nz, OneDrive, GDrive, or S3 directly from Proton Drive. Giving the ability to import or schedule synchronizing my files from these other services.

  2. Sort Order Should Be Folder-Specific

    Currently, when you change the sort order for files and folders, it changes the sort order for EVERYTHING. So, if I have a folder of folders, I would want to be able to have it in alphabetical order, but any of the embedded folders, I would want a different sort order, such as by date.

    So, bottom line: Make folder sort order specific to a folder (that is, what is currently being viewed).

  3. Add Labels

    I use labels extensively in ProtonMail, almost completely over a typical folder structure, because it allows me to avoid duplication of common subfolders. Currently, most of my folders are broken down by year subfolders, and I'd much prefer just using a label so I'm not forced to filter by the year and going into each of those folders to find something if I, say, forgot which year X happened.

    In general, I use folders for exclusive categories and labels for anything that may describe files in multiple folders, and I'd like to continue that structure from ProtonMail into ProtonDrive.

  4. zip/tar archive support on the cloud (server side)

    I have an archive of my university work, which is unfortunately comprised of a lot of files (over 4000, 3.5GB in total). Uploading those files in their current form takes forever using the browser.

    I could, theoretically, pack all of the files in .zip archives and upload those, but using that method would not allow me to view or change the files on the drive. I would always have to download them first.

    My idea is to add .zip/.tar archive support on the server side, so one can group the files together in archives, upload them to ProtonDrive and unpack…

  6. Access logging & alerts for shared files

    Would be great to have a log providing an audit trail of when shared files were accessed. i.e. "Shared file XYZ.txt was downloaded $DATE." Additionally, the option to receive an email alert when the file is accessed would be nice. It's convenient to know when someone has grabbed a shared file, and it's great to detect if a shared file is being accessed more often than expected (i.e. someone shared the link with others).

  7. Prevent spread of child sexual abuse imagery

    I love the idea of ProtonDrive, and I value privacy. Yet, a system like ProtonDrive can be used by pedophiles to share pictures or videos of child sexual abuse, which must be prevented. To do this, I'd appreciate if ProtonDrive would classify any images upon upload and prevent sharing if they are very likely to be of such nature.

    This restriction would make it much harder for abusive content to spread, and at the same time not invade anyones privacy, since the result of the classification is not shared with anyone. It just prevents the user from sharing the data.

  9. Failed Files when uploading. Feature to retry all failed files.

    I uploaded 1000+ files. 39 failed. It is difficult to scroll through and find the failed ones. I suggest being able to sort the upload list by failed files, or a button to retry all failed files

  10. Anonymous file upload

    I'd like to get file uploads, à la Dropbox File Request, but with the security of e.g. SecureDrop.

    This should give the uploader as much security as possible; eg
    * no logs
    * optional space for text (delivered as email with the file upload notification), eg to identify themselves as much as they want, explain what the files are, etc
    * route through a proxy or the like if on open web
    * available as Tor service
    * encrypt in browser to a GPG key I provide, or at least to my ProtonMail key
    * etc (copy SecureDrop, Mega, etc)

  11. ProtonDrive iOS Integration and Google Drive Transfer tool

    two things:
    i’d like to see protondrive be integrated into iOS so when saving files, one can upload through iOS to protondrive like we can with google drive, icloud etc.

    would also like to take everything off of google drive and would like a tool to import-export from google drive to protondrive.

    otherwise, so glad protonpeeps are adding products and functionality. love the tools especially now when privacy is increasingly scare.

  12. Sharing temporary files with Drive (delete after expiry)

    I thing it may be great to promote Protonmail services to open acess to Proton Drive, after the Beta, to all users, with the possibility to share files bigger than 25Mo with Drive (without permanent storage) including for free users. Putting Proton Drive in alternative to GoogleDrive, Dropbox and others, to share temporary files, should make more people to use Protonmail.

  13. Something like Google Keep

    Since most of us are trying to get away from Google and the likes, I think an app like Google Keep would be a good thing. It could be a stand alone app or a part of Proton Drive in it's own app.

  15. wget / curl support for download links

    The link that can be copied for a shared protondrive file cannot be downloaded by wget or curl.

    Use-case: I have a file.tar.gpg that I want a URL for so that it can be downloaded elsewhere using curl or wget. This is possible from other drivers, sometimes by adding a request url parameter that gives the "immediate download link".

  16. Proton Drive: Thumbnails

    When viewing Proton Drive in grid mode, I would like to see thumbnails of the images I have stored there. When looking for a particular image, having to click through each one individually is incredibly time consuming.

  18. Customizable folder icons

    It would be great if the folders could be assigned with different colors. Also assigning different icons would make it easier to find the desired folder faster.

  19. Make documents and spreadsheets available in real time

    Collaborating in real-time and being able to share and access the most up to date version of the document regardless of who edited has become standard operating procedure for many. One of the many things we take for granted until we don't have it. Is this or something for team sharing and documenting editing in the works?

  20. thumbnail photos

    If I save a photo it should appear as a photo not a folder or file icon.
    ie. Photo Previews
    instead of having blank icons it should be a photo or photos of what is in
    each folder like when using iCloud each file has a picture representation so you know what each file is instead of a blank generic file picture.
