  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. Proton Drive Android App — sync with a local folder

    I would really like the ability to not only have the offline-available files be accessable from within the Android app, but to also be able to specify a local folder on my device where those files would be located, so I could access them from any other app. Any remote changes are synced to the local files, any local changes are synced to the remote files. One of the reasons is that I need a way to sync my KeePass database between my desktop and my phone. Right now I'm using OneDrive for it, which I believe provides some kind…

  4. Open documents support (https://opendocumentformat.org/)

    Hi team,

    I want to suggest compatibility with open document formats (https://opendocumentformat.org/).

    I use LibreOffice instead M1cr0s0ft Office since 2012.

    OpenDocument files are zip files with changed extensions, inside, XML and some other formats.

    It is just a suggestion, FLOSS enthusiast will love being able to open (or edit, who knows :D) open document files.

    Regards!

  5. SHARED FOLDERS : Subfolders and contents need download counters and a share indicators.

    If you share a folder only the folder pointed to by the URL link records if it is shared and how many downloads have occurred using that link.

    Within the shared folder the "details" menu option of each subfolder and file indicate they are not shared and doesn't record if they have been downloaded.

    All shared objects need to indicate they are being shared and how many downloads have occurred. Currently the management of shared objects is very limited if you don't have this information.

  6. Register Proton Drive mobile app to open local PDF files

    The Proton Drive mobile app can open PDF files uploaded within the app. However, it is not registered to open PDF files from within the system (e.g. a PDF file inside the File Manager). Adding this won't be difficult, especially since Proton Drive mobile app can already open these files.

  7. Self-Destructing Files

    Self-Destructing Files: I believe there is an opportunity to enhance file security by implementing self-destructing functionality for shared files and files in the deleted files folder. Currently, shared files do not have The ability to self-destruct, and files in the deleted files folder remain indefinitely until manually deleted. Adding a self-destruct timer for both shared files and files in the deleted files folder would provide users with greater control over data privacy and eliminate the need for manual deletion.

  10. 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?

  11. 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.

  12. Marked skipped uploads as skipped instead of failed/canceled

    When uploading a folder via web, when prompted with regard to what to do when a file already exists, if you choose skip existing files, those files are then listed in the Failed list, as Canceled.

    This can be confusing, because if you have files that actually failed, instead of being skipped as intended, then you cannot distinguish those from the ones you've said to skip.

    I'd expect skipped files to show in Completed, or maybe some other tab, rather than Failed.

  13. Proton Automatic Secure Backup for local PC

    I currently use Google to back up my local PC files, and have found it both convenient and very reliable, but because I am aware of the privacy issues, I first I use a product called BoxCryptor to encrypt the files before they are handed off to Google. This has worked well, balances the convenance of cloud backup with data security. But BoxCytptor has been acquired by another company, and so now I’m going to have to locate an alternative solution. I would prefer to simply back up my data directly to my Proton drive and call it a day…

  14. 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

    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.

  17. Remove "Delete account" from iOS app

    I noticed you can easily delete the account from the iOS Proton Drive app, I think this should removed in case the device falls in the wrong hands.

  18. proton drive backup app for windows

    I would like an app for Windows to do only backup, not sync, of my local folders on Proton Drive, like the Amazon Photos app. I don't want that, in case the files are removed from the cloud, they're also removed from my local pc.

  20. File Symbolic Linking

    One of my uses of ProtonDrive is to archive documents. For these, I wish to be able to archive them in multiple places; the same document has relevance to both the new house I purchased as well as to taxes. As such, i would like to have a link to the file appear in both of these places.
    Currently, to support this I must upload the file twice into the two locations, potentially requiring me to download the file prior to re-uploading it.
