See favorite photos in an album
It would be incredibly useful if I could, within an album view, filter to just the photos I've liked/favorited. I take a lot of duplicate photos, so it's hard to tell at a glance which ones are the "good" photos for a particular trip.

Add support for exFAT filesystem
Proton Drive appears to only support NTFS, APFS. Incredibly frustrating to learn that the drive I'd like to use for backups isn't compatible with the service I've paid for due to the filesystem not being supported; exFAT is a fairly common cross-platform filesystem for external drives and is super useful for those going between operating systems and devices.

Photo deduplication feature
The Drive does not mind importing photos multiple times, even though being advertised differently.
Examples:
- exact same name, created date, but different last modified date => 2 copies.
- modified photo on iPhone => 2 copies (not 1 photo with two different states)
- importing the same photo from multiple sources => multiple copiesThis is driving me crazy, as I want to have a single version of a single photo and don't want to waste my time merging etc. The switch to Proton was supposed to be simple.

Rsync compatibility
Enable rsync compatibility with Proton Drive to allow Linux users to sync files and directories for cloud backup. This should be a core feature of any cloud storage solution and makes Proton an unappealing ecosystem on Linux.

Create dedicated photo app
I know that the current plan is to fully integrate the photos feature into the Proton Drive app.
However, I think it would be more logical to have a dedicated app for photos and one for documents in general. With combined apps, I fear that the app either gets overloaded or features will be missing because it would get too crowded otherwise. The photos app also needs wayy better performance than the current app (at least on android, the photos feature is very slow and misses a lot of crucial features, like face detection, editing or a map to show…73 votes -
Proton Scribe in Proton Docs
I recently upgraded to Proton Duo purely to get access to Proton Scribe. I just assumed it would be built into both the email client and Proton Docs but now see this is sadly not the case.
Given how tech and office environments are developing, including this functionality is arguably already critical to keep Proton docs competitive and attractive to users.
Please consider adding a Proton Scribe feature in Proton Docs -- it would hugely simplify and improve my work, and I'm sure that of many others.

Auto trim Trash item older the XX days
Compared to other Web Drive providers, Proton Drive lacks a feature where items whose 'Deleted Time' exceeds a certain threshold (i.e. 30 days) get automatically deleted by the system.
There are a number of reasons as to why this might be so. One possible reason could be that, due to data encryption on Proton's side, they cannot view certain metadata of the file, such as its 'Deleted Time'. This would then exclude any attempts by the server to perform housekeeping duties.The solution is to move the deletion routine into the user clients instead. All the server has to do…

Speed up downloads from Proton Drive using shared links
I've shared a folder that was about 337 MB using a share link. The downloads are abysmally slow at 47.83 KB/s to 185.54 KB/s. Then the download fails at less than a third of the way through.
I'm on a paid plan. Replicated with the person whom I shared the folder. Both of us can't download it.
Both of us are on different high bandwidth fiber internet plans and have no issues with other content.

Need the ability to add comments to photos in shared albums
I am using Google Photos to share family albums and I am trying to determine if I can replace Google Photos with Proton Drive (I am a Proton Duo user). One very useful feature for the users I am sharing the albums with is the ability to add comments. In fact, this would be a show-stopper if it is not possible. The reason is that some of the photos are pretty old (scans of standard prints) and lack details. Being able to add comments is a great and simple way of sharing and improving the information we have about some…

pdf reader improvement
If a link is to a pdf and so opens in a pdf reader embeded in a proton page, I can click the Download button and the file will download with the proper file title. However within the reader is a download arrow. If you were to click on that to download the file the file name is a garbled number and letter sequence. I've tried this with another cloud drive service which the process looks nearly identical except that clicking the download arrow retains the file name. I'm guess most people would hit the Download button but as a…

API Checksum
I keep most of my personal/project files in a folder structure that 'lives' in the cloud, but has a full offline mirror on my main devices (desktop and laptop). From my point of view this is an essential quality of life thing, and I have no idea how other people survive without doing this.
The problem I have now is that I'm on linux, automating my mirroring with rclone. Rclone is great, but if a file gets corrupted during the sync process, it can't tell, which is A PROBLEM because over time with repeated syncs, corrupted files can potentially end…

Support for GNOME/KDE online accounts
Using the GNOME or KDE online accounts applet you should be able to use Proton services like Proton Mail, Proton Drive, Proton Pass etc. by logging in to your Proton account. Nextcloud and Google have support for both, and Microsoft is supported in GNOME enviroments. Posted this in the Drive section since currently only the Drive app and various other early access apps cannot run natively in Linux.

Drive Mount Point
Please remove the "My files" subdirectory from the drive mount point. When setup asks where to mount the share, if I put in C:\Users[UserName]\Proton. That's where I want it. I do not want an additional subdirectory. I especially do not want one with a space in it. Just mount it where specified.
