  1. Low Resolution Place Holders For Photos On Phone

    I don't know how feasible this is, but I would love to leave iCloud photo backup entirely for PD, but iCloud allows me to offload all photos and videos into the cloud leaving behind a low resolution thumbnail placeholder so I can still look through all my photos, while still saving memory. Its a life saver for phone storage, but also very useful as I want access to all my photos. Can this be done!? I would contend one of the most prominent reasons why people resort to photo backups is to save space!

    Thanks. Great work on all the…

  2. Name, Modified, & Size Filters Specific to Each Page, w/ Memory

    I often like to sort the contents of some folders by "name", and some by "modified" date.
    1. It would be great to have a global, and folder level memory, such that you can have some folders remain sorted by "modified" date, even if you apply "name globally".
    2. Secondly, for some reason, "modified" only seems to pertain to the end item its self, instead of the contents. For instance, if I have a 5 folders and within one of them I edit a Doc., the folder order will not change even though the contents of one of them has…

  3. Sanitize Shared Photos

    It would be nice to be able to optionally sanitize photos I share with someone. I do want my own photos to include the full metadata available, and sometimes I do want to share that with someone. But sometimes I want to share a photo with someone and I want to know they are not holding onto all the metadata my phone included with it. So it would be nice if sharing photos with someone also had an option to share a version of that photo that has the metadata sanitized.

    This seems to be a very important issue, as…

  4. add "secret" albums - certain photos are only displayed in these albums, not in the gallery

    Add ability to declare Albums "secret" to hide specific pictures from the general photo gallery ("Photo" tab) and display them only in these specific albums.
    It's the equivalent of Apples "secret album", so one can hide sensitive pictures from the general view - especially if the gallery becomes a shared space.

    Suggestion: when an album is classified as "secret" all pictures in /added to it are automatically removed from the general gallery.

  5. FSP (File Storage Provider) support for iOS and iPadOS

    There is support for FSP on macOS for Proton Drive, however it is missing for both iOS and iPadOS. The consequence is that I cannot add a Proton folder as location in for example iA Writer. The net effect is that any file stored on Proton Drive that I want to open, must be manually found through browsing from the root of my Proton Drive. With FSP support on iOS and iPadOS any folder should be available immediately in the interface.

    The missing part in the implementation is full folder sharing support in said protocol.

    It works flawlessly on macOS.…

  6. Single click to navigate into folders in the Proton Drive web app

    Ability to navigate into Proton Drive folders in the web app using single-mouse click would be very convenient when navigating a lot of folders back and forth.

  7. Proton music

    Just like you have a section for your Proton photos, you should have a section for your Proton music, because most of us have to listen to our downloaded music from YouTube Music, Dizer and Sportifay. To avoid this and to maintain folder optimization, most of us need Proton music.

  8. Photo album shared link support

    Please add shared link support to Photo albums so albums can be shared with non-Proton users.

    Drive already offers shared link support for files, folders and individual photos, but shared links for albums is a feature gap.

  9. Show/notify pics and videos taken the same day in previous years

    When opening the app (or web app) it would be nice if pics and videos taken the same day in previous years are shown. Also apps could send "on this day" notifications directing to this feature.

  11. Select AND view photos

    Weeding out a bunch of photos is easily done be selecting multiple photos and clicking delete. Nice.
    But as you are selecting, it would be really nice to be able to open a photo for viewing. Currently you cannot view a photo if any are selected.
    I would very much like to be able to open a photo for viewing while having a selection, and having the selection retained while viewing the photo. Maybe even having the option to add/remove the currently viewed photo to the selection.
    This would also be very helpful when selecting for an album.

  12. View videos on mobile

    Currently, to view videos stored on proton drive, you have to download them. An option is to allow apps like vlc, the ability to view/stream these videos, instead of having to download them.

  16. Video

    Besides playing video, it’d be a big step up if the video player could play the sound that comes with it as well. Otherwise I have to download the video from Photos each time I want to re-watch it.

  17. One Way Sync For Proton Drive Computer Backup

    One of the primary reasons people are gravitating to Proton is for redundancy. There should be a way to set “two way sync” or “one way sync” for files and folders. Some files we would just like access to, while knowing we will not accidently move or delete them. I know that the “Trash” holds them for 30 days, but sometimes “fatal” errors can occur where files are totally lost, or corrupted. Additionally, in this vein, a new subsection of PD that functions as a read only computer or folder “backup” could solve this entirely. In conclusion, it would be…

    Pretty self-explanatory. Painstaking to go back after watching a video to add it to an album or delete it. Thank you!
