  2. Sort files based on metadata in the file (ID3 tag, Exif, etc)

    it would be nice to be able add columns to the list view that index data from within the file.

    For photos/images, EXIF fields like date/time taken, location, camera make/model etc.
    For music, standard id3 tags.

  3. Make the Files button always go to root folder ("home")

    Proton Drive on iphone:
    I think the "files" button at the bottom should always take you to the root folder
    (same logic and function as on dropbox)

  4. Back up files based on comparison of date last modified vs. date last backed up to Proton Drive

    Of the many thousands of files on my computer, only some will have changed since the last backup to Proton Drive. The backup would proceed much faster if Proton Drive would compare the date of last PD backup with the date the source file (on my laptop, for example) was last modified. Perhaps Proton could provide this option: f the latter is more recent than the former, then backup the file. Otherwise, skip.

  5. Windows app: give same options as in web and Android to share files, etc

    Currently the desktop Windows app only lists what is on Proton Drive
    There is no functionality like being able to share files, etc. These functions are in the web and Android version. Please add to Windows app.

  6. Syncing delay for desktop client

    I often temporariliy work with files on my PC. For example I want to unzip a zip file, copy the contents to another drive and then delete the unzipped folder. Now with automatic syncing enabled I have to wait until the unzipped folder has been synced with Proton Drive before I can deleted (because the folder is in use by the proton desktop client).

    My suggestion is to add a "sync delay" option so that it waits for x minutes before syncing to Proton Drive. This allows me to delete files and folders right away, and probably will also reduce…

  7. Upload from a hyperlink

    Ideally we would have remote upload but then I guess that's not possible due to E2EE. So, instead give a web UI feature, where instead of having to manually download and then upload, the Web UI itself downloads the file onto storage and encrypts and uploads it.

  9. Windows client on mutli-account PC

    I am using two different user accounts on my PC (one for work, one for private purposes).

    I want to access and sync my private Proton Drive folder while using my work profile. OneDrive supports this, I just create a folder, e.g., c:\OneDrive and enable sync on both user accounts. If I do the same with Proton Drive, it tells me that's not possible because the folder has to be empty to initialize the sync process.

    Right now, I would need two separate folders with the same content, wasting disk space and bandwidth because all files would be synced twice.

  11. Web PDF Viewer Improvements

    Here are possible improvements to the pdf viewer (web):
    - Remove encryption
    - Convert to PDF/A
    - Convert to Linearized PDF

    I think the first one is the most useful for people. And once this is implemented, the other two could be easy to implement (given the toolchain required for the the first one).

  13. Crucial information on reinstalltion is not documented, seriuosly impacting on what is cloud stored. Default setting not appropriate

    New features:
    * Relevant documentation
    * The removal process in the app should NOT have the default set to "Remove Proton Drive settings and previously remembered credentials"
    * Removal of a named folder from the list of folders that set to be synced is too simple.

    I could not find any documentation on this, only found out by multiple tests.

    If your plan is to reinstall the Proton Drive app and expect to return to syncing as before with all previous versions intact - Be careful.

    If you have to reinstall on the same PC/laptop at program removal time you…

  14. Option to ignore sync issues in specific folders

    ProtonDrive displays a bunch of sync issues for file locks which may be unessential to sync immediately. This presents a problem for when actual sync issues show up which may go unnoticed. There should be an option to disable sync issues for specific folders, as well as a section to display "ignored" sync issues.

    In my case, I have ProtonDrive to sync my Thunderbird profiles. Thunderbird constantly uses these files, so there is a file lock on many of them and ProtonDrive is unable to sync. This is expected functionality however, and the files will sync once Thunderbird is closed.…

  15. Option to periodically stop and continue uploads in order to avoid failing uploads

    When uploading to the Proton drive using the Web interface, due to network issues, sometimes uploads of large files (e.g. 2GB) are aborted and then fail. In case of Proton drive I then have to upload such files from their beginning. That's quite frustrating, especially if the upload fails after 90% or so of the file. Workaround: I periodically halt the upload for a few seconds and then continue the upload in order to avoid trouble by possible timeouts somewhere. Would it be possible to automatize that, e.g. periodically halt and continue the upload after blocks of e.g. 64 MB?…

  16. AI auto files organisation for drive

    Now we have a lot of AI tools to help us, but no drive has implemented an artificial intelligence solution to organize our files automatically.

    We all have lots of files lying around but we never have time to organize them well, put them in the correct folders, etc. An AI that does this for us will be perfect

  17. Introduce alerts when a file/folder is downloaded

    I would like to get alerted when a file/folder is downloaded, the alert can go to a different email than my proton account. With this I believe will enhance the awareness of important files

  18. Proton Drive VAULT / ARCHIVE area that is cloud only and excluded from all app sync operations.

    It would be desirable that a part of your Proton Drive that should only be in the cloud and not visible to the app.

    Currently the Windows app syncs everything:
    * Everything in the directories that you select is uploaded
    * Everything in the "My Files" can be accessed from desktop by cloud stubs that the app creates.

    It would desirable to be able to select what you want from Proton Drive storage to be visible to your Win desktop. This could be done several ways:
    * The app have a button with the options of syncing/not syncing your Proton…

  19. more space! we should have the option to have 1TB minimum or even up to 4TB.

    500GB is nowhere near sufficient.
    I want the privacy and security proton drive has, but it should really be 1TB at minumim, and we should have the option to add more.
    Way more.

  20. Website backup functionality

    Website backup possibility.
    I work as a Wordpress developer and would love to see Proton Drive as a backup possibility for my customers. Most of the major Backup Plug-ins like Duplicator Pro or Updraft Plus have direct connection to Google Drive, and Dropbox. It would be great to have Proton Drive as an option. Im sure this would bring more paying customers to your great services.
