  1. Annotations for files/directories

    The ability to tag directories and files with annotations, even if they're just limited to being very short notes, would be very useful for tasks pertaining to organizing file collections, and overall preventing long-term forgetfulness that tends to come with that (example: it's 2030 "why did I keep these files around? They look deprecated... oh, right here's a note I left six years ago reminding myself why I shouldn't delete these. Okay then.")

  4. Improve sync - team up NextCloud etc..

    I am a paid user and it is so hard to backup on proton, there is no reason why proton has not upgraded their drive. i should be able to do everything that Next-cloud offers and more. My phone and any of my multiple linux distribution PC should be able to sync..... I SAID SYNC(not upload), with my devices running any software. also Proton needs to huge upgrade on security due the fact that my drive was hacked or the upload failed but i swear i have uploaded it multiple times and it took days to finish about 56gb and…

  5. Replace files in the 'sync queue' with the newer states

    While working on a file, when you save it, proton drive immediately syncs it, locking any future changes from the file. If you want to save the file (locally) again, you have to wait until the its previous save state is uploaded. I think this could be fixed by replacing files in the 'sync queue' with the newer states in the case that the file is updated.

  7. Enable syncing from external drives that are Exfat formatted

    Make it possible to sync files from external SSD's/ HDD's that are formatted in Exfat. Exfat is commonly used to use the external drive on Windows and Mac together. At this point this isn't supported by Proton Drive.

  8. Allow users to sync files via web interface.

    Today I ran a test on my Proton Drive account. I added a folder with 3 files in it. On my local copy of the folder, I added a 4th file then tried to upload the folder again. It told me a folder with that name already exists and gave me 2 choices. 1 Replace the existing folder or 2 keep both, with a number added to the name of the second folder. For windows and mac users you have the option to sync a folder with the Proton Drive client. For Linux there is no Proton Drive client. The…

  9. Shared folders for Photos backup

    It would be great if shared folders for Photos backup could be implemented. My wife and I take heaps of photos with our iPhones and want to sync to a single shared folder.

  10. Quantum encrypted drive

    Tutanota is currently developing a quantum encrypted cloud against the threats of quantum computers regarding encryption algorithms.
    Would be awesome to have that level of protection with proton as well.
    Maybe a collaboration with tutanota, similar to what happend with simplelogin?

  12. Add an "upload photos only while device is charging" option to the Android app

    OneDrive's mobile app has an option for its camera backup to only backup photos while the device is charging. I would like to see this added to ProtonDrive. I dislike how currently it instantly uploads as soon as the photo is taken.

  14. Photo backup by album should save to albums

    In the mobile app I can select which albums to backup on Proton drive. When saved to Proton drive the photos should stay sorted into those albums.

    Additionally, being able to create share links to those albums would be good as well.

  16. Nextcloud style Photos backup configuration (Configure source & destination, year, etc)

    I really like the Nextcloud photo sync feature, it allows for configuring any source folder on the phone and defining what the destination folder should be. This means that the pictures are automatically organized by source location on my backup repo.

    Furthermore, it has the feature to allow for creation year drilldown, meaning it will create the Year/Month folders automatically within the destination that I chose in the repo. It would be cool to see some enhancements along those lines. Thanks for all the great work!

  17. Device folder-level access control

    Now that the entire contents of my Proton Drive are accessible from all devices that I log into it with, I'm nervous that a compromise on one device could lead to a complete takeover of all my data.

    I'd like to suggest a feature where folders can be given an access control list, similar to NTFS permissions on Windows, but device based. The web portal would have access to all folders always, but from the web portal, you could define which devices are allowed read/write access to specific folders.

    This would allow for segregation of my data, and give comfort…

  18. Make shared files (from other users) accessible through the shared tab.

    Make shared files (from other users) transferable into the shared folder of the receiver for easier continuous access on long term projects - each time i close the drive i have to access the link in the email again. I do not want to download work files to my system for ongoing reference use.

  19. Possibilità di cambiare lingua

    Salve, da quando è nato Proton Drive ho scritto già un paio di volte di sviluppare la possibilità di cambiare lingua ma sfortunatamente non è avvenuto.
    A differenza di Proton Pass, che è arrivato da pochi mesi, l'aggiornamento è avvenuto rapidamente.
    Spero possiate sviluppare questa possibilità visto che Proton Drive è stato lanciato da più di un anno e la lingua è rimasta sempre quella. Saluti
