  1. Shared folders linked to Proton account (not just public links)

    Privacy and security are at the core of Proton's mission. Sharing folders through Proton Drive should be no different. A public URL for sharing stops short of privacy and security. A model that upholds privacy and security would be an invite model. Invite a specific person to the folder, if they do not have a Proton account, they can create one. They use this login to access files in the shared folder.

    A public URL has zero traceability to who is accessing the data. An invitation to a specific person would allow for traceability of the files in the folder…

  2. Organize with tags

    Please, it would be extremely useful to implement the tags feature, similar to what already exists in ProtonMail. This makes it easy to organize and find the different types of files on ProtonDrive.

  3. Upload Folder

    None of the other main cloud storage providers offer this either, so I'm not sure if it's a limitation, but I'd like the option to Upload a Folder, not just a File. This is for both web and app.

    Copying individual files becomes laborious when backing up items that have further embedded folders, files and hidden files.

  5. Sync Timing - Preset specific time, date, frequency to sync files & folders to ProtonDrive

    What is missing and to make things infinitely easier is not only syncing which is CRITICAL, but to have functionality to set the frequency... continual on changes, specific days, daily, weekly, monthly, semi annual along with the time to do so. This could be extended to be a single upload to regular on the specified intervals. Given that a file size can be 200GB (full system back up for example) picking a time and date to upload such a file is important due to the time and bandwidth that this would take.
    This along with unlimited file size will differentiate…

  8. Add "Copy to folder" in Proton Web

    Currently there is "Move to folder" feature. But to duplicate a file or folder you have to re-upload the entire thing.

    Use case: Assume you have folder "MyDocuments" of 50 GB and you want a second backup of "MyDocumentsOLD" as a sort of version control just in case you break something in MyDocuments or corrupt a zipped file.

    Problems with existing feature: It takes a LONG time to upload 50GB to Proton Drive. An internal Copy feature would be zero time for the user.
    Also, you might have changed local files, that you don't want to upload to the backup,…

  9. Selective syncing of files for Mac/Linux/Windows

    Actual syncing of files is so important, that I was considering to upgrade my plan today for getting 500GB storage. But then I realized that ProtonDrive doesn't sync files, and that it works with manual upload/download only, so it wouldn't be useful for me, and so I'll wait rather than upgrade now.

    I work with Mac, Linux, and Windows computers, so I need to sync across them.

    Also note that I said "selective syncing". It would be highly desirable that if you have 200GB of files and you start working with a computer you didn't sync yet, this doesn't trigger…

  10. Password protect specific folders if sharing account.

    It would be nice to have the possibility to assign a password to a specific folder. It's a good solution if you e.g. use your Proton Drive with other family members/friends what so ever.

  11. Proton Drive as storage location for ALL NextCloud Storage Needs

    Make Proton Drive directly link-able with NextCloud for ALL NextCloud storage needs. Photos, documents, contacts, mail, etc, etc.

    Currently running a personal instance of NextCloud on LINODE web based server....but Linode's US based storage is not as secure as Proton's and too expensive. I want the ability to create / edit / etc documents (built into NextCloud) and then SAVE the files within super secure Proton Drive. Is this do-able now? How?

    I REALLY want to leave Google Online docs and photos 100% and Proton may be my best bet. HELP

  12. Folder info (size, stats)

    In details I'd like to see the number of files and folders inside a chosen folder and it's total size.
    It'd be also cool to be able to see details for a number of selected folders combined, so I could check the info for a few folders placed next to each other.

  16. Proton Photos

    basically Google photos, but better because it's encrypted.

    As in, a mobile app for backing up and organizing phone photos.

    Maybe we could pay a monthly fee for access to Photos, Drive, and VPN service. I'd much rather support an independent company than Google

  17. Sync Google Drive and Photos to Proton

    Any docs/pictures on the Google service need to be automatically transferred over to Proton. This keeps a seemless experience on the device, while not retaining (long term) data with Google.

  19. Set a starting time/date for link in advance, download notification, download limit

    1. Let the user set a limit to the number of downloads of a document in the shared folder. Example: allow only one download or allow 5 downloads before the link expires.

    2. Set a post-dated date/time that a link to the shared folder is valid. Example: link is valid >starting< at a time/date set by the user and ending at a time/date set.

    3. Allow user to combine feature #1 and feature #2. Example: A link to a document in the shared folder is valid starting three days from the upload and expired four days thereafter, limited to two downloads total.

  20. 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.
