  1. Proton Maps / Navigation

    Have a privacy centered navigation app for driving. Information can be stored securely but not used to sell more product or track your every movement by Google, Apple, or other options.

    I know having GPS active opens up a phone to this but at least it isn’t being stored by the companies at will.

  3. Sync file deletion between local and cloud storage

    In the proton drive app, you choose folders to sync to the cloud. But when you delete a file from Proton Drive, its local copy is not deleted from your computer. However, when delete a local file, its cloud copy is automatically deleted.

    This can cause problems, for example if you rename or otherwise edit a local file that is in a synced folder but whose cloud copy you have deleted, it's going to create a new cloud copy of it.

    My suggestion: Adding two new toggles in the settings. One that would make it so that when you delete…

  4. Generate a default shared folder when creating a Proton Family account,

    On creation of a Proton Family account, automatically generate a shared folder where all members of the group will have access. Allow the group admin to adjust the size of the shared space and to adjust read/write/delete permissions of each individual family member..

    The current method of sharing via links and passwords is cumbersome.

  5. "Mimic Dropbox"

    Like many, I am used to Dropbox, but I know it is a weak option for online storage. I have Proton Mail, VPN and Drive and like your products. However, I am struggling to get into the habit of using Drive as it feels different from Dropbox. So I am suggesting that, without changing the Drive app, you simply put together a little help file explaining how to create a local folder on a PC or Mac that is fully sync'd across all devices such that a file placed or edited on any device is replicated across all other devices.…

  6. change wallpaper on ProtonMail web app based on Photos on ProtonDrive

    Hi
    on Gmail, we can change wallpaper based on the photos on Google Drive and I hope ProtonMail can do the same thing with ProtonDrive. What do you think?

  9. 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

  10. Proton Photos Separation of Devices

    I am excited for Proton to start implement a photo backup system for Proton Drive (I am looking forward for it being on iOS).
    My only request is there to be separation of backed up devices with their own photo gallery.

    For example, if you backed up two phones you would be able to view each gallery separately from each other.

    This would be crucial to me for using Proton's backup system.

  13. shared folder notifications of file upload

    It would be great if it was possible to have a customizable notification email sent to designated addresses when a file gets uploaded to a shared folder, both between proton users and external users.

    The same for if people have a drop folder, that the owner user would receive a notification of that activity.

    This is especially useful for business activity where for a time you may have to share files securely and in real time. For example: if you are in legal proceedings and need to supply documents to your lawyer on a regular basis, you can do so…

  14. Detailed Disk Space Insight

    I've been exploring the storage options, and while the current interface allows me to see the total storage usage, it doesn't provide insights into what is consuming the disk space.

    I'd like to suggest an enhancement to the storage management feature. It would be immensely helpful if users could view a breakdown of their storage usage, specifically identifying the space consumption of emails and ProtonDrive. Having a detailed overview would empower users to manage their disk space.

  15. Include additional directories in the photos backup

    Users should have an option to include additional directories besides /storage/emulated/0/DCIM/Camera
    A few examples being:
    Screenshots directory - /storage/emulated/0/DCIM/Screenshots
    Screen recordings directory - /storage/emulated/0/DCIM/Screen Recordings
    Legacy camera directory - /storage/emulated/0/DCIM/100ANDRO

    My examples are from an Android perspective, but I'm sure iPhone users would benefit from this option as well.

  16. Backup a network drive

    When I attempt to use the Proton Drive Windows app, it requests that I select a folder for automatic backup to Proton Drive. However, it will not allow me to select a network drive.

  17. Right click context menu to manage files folders and links

  18. Sync existing macOS folders

    I miss the option to sync a folder that is not the default Proton Drive location in macOS. I think this is available in the Windows app.
    Right now if I want to sync files with Proton Drive I need to copy them to the Proton Drive location in Finder.

  19. Navigate by path

    I would like to be able to navigate by a known path.

    Right now, I have to manually click down each node of the path to get to my destination folder. Folders with many files/folders take some time to populate to be able to click on. If I know my path, I'd like to be able to enter the folder path to skip navigating each node on the path.

  20. Streamlining File Management: Automatic Deletion of Recycle Bin Contents

    I suggest implementing an automatic deletion feature for the recycle bin (or trash folder) contents, where deleted files are permanently removed after a specified time period. This would eliminate the need for manual emptying of the trash folder, adding a convenient touch to file management. While not a critical issue, this enhancement could significantly improve user experience.
