  1. rclone for photos

    Expose the "Photos" location to rclone. Perhaps allow the user to specify a custom folder name to synchronize photos to. Then rclone could be used to simply sync that specific folder.

  2. Expand/collapse folders in list view

    Currently you can only expand the folders from the sidebar navigation like with Proton Mail. While this works for Protonmail, for a filesystem like Proton Drive it makes navigating a lot simpler and intuitive when you can just do this from the main list view and reserve the sidebar for pinned folders and files.

  3. Use mobile SD card for offline storage

    I have little storage capacity left on the Mobile but plenty on the SD-card. Please make shift possible to store offline data on SD-card instead of the unit's storage.

  4. Open files in other apps

    Please allow us to directly open files in our Drive with another Android application. I don't need an integrated viewer for every type of file, just away to open the applications that are already registered for that type of file on my phone.

    I recently moved in from Dropbox to Proton Drive, and I probably wouldn't have done it had I realized this feature was unavailable!

  5. Save to external drive

    Saving to external drive.

    I have a mac mini with 256GB on it. After installing all the apps and documents that I use, more than half of it is used. Not to mention the caches, temp, backup files, etc.

    I use Box and other online storage and they have options to where to store their files so I use an external drive to store my files synced with the online storage apps that I used.

    I would love to see Proton Drive to have the option to store the files.

  7. View files as text (regardless of file extension)

    Sometimes I have files that do not end in .txt, but I know they are basically text files. Currently I can't see their contents at all on my mobile device. For example, Emacs org-mode notes (end in ".org"). It would be nice if there was an option in the "..." menu like "View as text".

  8. Sync parent folder containing subfolders containing albums

    Currently the Proton Drive Android app lets you sync local folders, but with a limitation: if you have a big folder containing multiple subfolders (like that you get out from a Google Photos takeout), the Android app shows all the subfolders individually, instead of letting you choose any of the parent folders. Selecting these subfolders can be tiresome if you have photos spanning 15 years. It would be really nice to have more flexibility in the choice of the folders to sync.

  10. Hidden app data folders

    I'd like to propose the addition of a feature allowing applications to create a secret, hidden folder within Proton Drive for storing application-specific data. Similar to Google Drive's app data folder, this would enhance security, isolate application data, improve user privacy, and align with industry best practices.

    Google Drive's app data folder:

  12. Customize duration between version history

    Proton Drive stores a maximum of 200 versions of a file. If, for example, you save frequently when programming, you can quickly save 200 versions. For example, I would need a version of a file from 2 days ago. Unfortunately, the history only goes back to yesterday.

    It would be good to save versions of a file at a time interval. For example, 5, 10, 15 etc. minutes between the modification time of a file. This would be a global setting for the version history.

  13. Increase files per folder limit beyond 30,000

    I might be an edge case, but I regularly use Cryptomator to encrypt my local files. The problem is Cryptomator creates a large number of small files within a single folder. Needless to say, I cannot change the file structure without causing issues with Cryptomator, but I've blasted well beyond the 30,000 file limit. I'm a hair under 60,000 and I have heard of people who have far more files than I do.

    This limitation makes Proton Drive significantly less useful as working with the contents of these vaults is my day to day work as I switch between my…

  16. Wifi only option for syncing all files on Android

    Currently uploading files / making files available offline uses whatever internet connection is available, including cellular. There should be an option to make these actions wifi only.

  18. Asustor Support

    Hi!

    I have an Asustor NAS that can back up to off-site storage. While there are plenty of off-site solutions from Amazon, Google, etc., having it tied to an encrypted service like ProtonDrive would be great!

  19. Memories feature

    One part of Google Photos that I will miss is the "Memories" feature. Not the creepy cloud-based processing, but just the notification to scroll through some of my old photos.

    It doesn't have to be fancy, and you can play the same cheesy jingle each time!

    (Unless there's a workaround and I can use another app that can safely read local photos while Proton Drive backs them up securely?)
