  1. Share Proton Docs link for collaboration without requiring Proton account

    The new Proton Docs Feature just came out.
    I wanted to use it, but i can't share the document so, that friends can collaborate. They don't all have a proton account.
    That's why the sharing feature with the E-Mails doesn’t help a lot.
    Normally you can just create a link to each document, so that others can edit it.
    But at the moment this isn’t possible.
    It’s a quite standard feature I personally would expect from a drive with documents.

    One Option i tried is creating a sharable link in Proton Drive with a folder. In that Folder i got…

  2. Photo Albums, tagging, location search

    Albums, photo tagging, search by location for Proton Drive Photos.

    Pretty much like Google Photos, but encrypted. Probably without the automatic classification since that would require you to see my photos :D

  3. To switch from Google Photos, Proton drive is not the deal. We need Proton Photos

    There is already a request like this. But - from the answer it received by administators, I have the feeling they don't have got the point. This is what I think and what I need ;)
    Google Photos offers specific tools to manage and share photos effectivelly. Unfortunatelly Proton Drive app is not up to this task (as it is not OneDrive, for instance). This is because those apps are ment to be used as a File app, not a photo app. In order to offer a true Google Photos alternative, a proper Proton Photos app is paramount. We need…

  4. Increasing file streaming from 100MB to 2GB

    Proton Drive has a streaming feature, but you can only stream files that are up to 100MB. They should increase it to at least 2GB if not more.

  8. Stream video's within the Proton Drive App instead of downloading before being able to view the video

    Before being able to view a video in the Proton Drive App the entire video needs to be downloaded. It would really enhance the user experience to stream video. Loading time wil reduce significantly and increase usability of the App. At the moment for quick viewing I use Google / iOS :-(

    It is currently possible to stream videos from within Proton Drive. As of June of this year, movie-length videos can be stored and then played.

  9. MacOS client

    Proton Drive really needs the ability to sync desktop files automatically. This post focuses on a Mac OS client for Proton Drive.

  10. Manage user rights on shared files or folders

    when sharing a folder or a file, it would be great to be able to choose the other users' rights, like:
    - View only
    - Modification of the file (or add/remove files for a shared folder)
    - Resharing

  11. Show desktop folders on mobile app

    I'm using the beta Windows sync client and it works well to be able to sync my folders up to the Proton Drive webapp. However, while the sync client allows you to sync any folders on your machine, no folders outside of the ProtonDrive folder on the computer are showing up on the mobile app. On the web all of the folders that sit outside of the Proton Drive main folder show up under a "Computers" navigation. For those of us that have multiple folders across multiple drives can you enable the ability to see "computers" in the mobile app?

    Access your desktop files anytime with the Proton Drive iOS or Android app which now includes a "Computers" tab, so you can access files synced from your desktop, right from your iPhone. Access the latest version of your important documents right on your phone. As always, your data remains end-to-end encrypted, ensuring your privacy and security at all times.

  12. Allow upload photos without WiFi

    Currently the app requires WiFi to upload photos. For those of us with unlimited cellular data it would be nice to upload using this.

  13. Allow Android photo syncing on mobile data

    If users' mobile data plan allows it they'll most certainly want to have their photos backed up as soon as they take them. I know I do.

  14. Add a "suggest" mode to Docs

    It would be fantastic if there was an editing mode that just adds suggested edits that can then be accepted or rejected by collaborators. This makes editing much easier among groups of people.

  16. File Viewer and Media Player

    I think you should have a file viewer or player for files that are linked to/in your Proton Drive, much like Google Drive does -- not just downloads of such files.

  17. Collaborative folders

    File/folder sharing link is inconvenient.
    I manage an organization (for family members) and file/folder sharing within org members accessible by everyone's respective account credentials (including pointers in everyone's ProtonDrive views) is essential. Link+Password sent by email is not a good solution for this very practically relevant use case for organizations.

  18. Share upload folder link

    Share folders with the option to allow upload of files. This is an essencial feature to allow secure file transfer. Bonus points if notifications for uploaded files are present from day1.

    This is especially important for companies, where receiving large files is sometimes troublesome.

    Myself and my family currently use a (payed) competitor that provides this feature, and I can assure you I will not be adopting proton drive unless an equivalent feature is available.

    PS: All the said.. I'm not sure posting ideas on this platform is of any use, provided proton has not given any feedback to any…
