  1. Exclude folders/files

    Thank you for the desktop application, it was necessary and I am very satisfied, excellent job. On the other hand, it would be very useful to have the ability to exclude files/folders, either by selecting them or using a regular expression. For example, excluding folders like 'node_modules'.

  2. Increase Proton paid plans' storage for free

    "Proton Mail Plus" plan's storage space isn't value for money.
    Mail Plus: 15 GB storage, 48 EUR per year.
    Google Drive Free: 15GB, 0 EUR per year.
    Microsoft 365 Basic: 100GB storage, 20 EUR per year.
    Same goes for Proton Unlimited which is too expensive for 500GB space while other cloud providers offer double storage at half the price.

    I appreciate that Proton offers privacy, security and many Mail features. However the storage space it currently offers is unbearably low for the long-term.
    Please increase storage space a bit without price increase so that it's more VFM and sustainable for…

  3. Programming: No spaces in Proton Drive Desktop sync path ("My files" folder cannot be renamed)

    The root "My files" sync directory where all files reside under contains a space which is problematic for development reasons.

    Currently I have "D:\ProtonDrive\My files\Coding..." and this isn't ideal because it makes dealing with development files tedious in some cases. If "My files" could be renamed to without spaces, this would resolve the issue. The folder cannot be renamed due to Windows permissions (and doing so would probably break things anyway).

    A symbolic link with a spaceless name (e.g. "MyFiles") cannot be created to work around this, again due to permissions (access denied).

    Please allow us to rename the "My…

  4. Folder structure

    Add an option in the windows Proton Drive App, to change the folder structure from:
    "Proton Drive/username/My files/DATA I STORE"
    to
    "Proton Drive/DATA I STORE".

    the current folder structure is unnecessary and confusing, the "username/My files" folders are not necessary if you have only one Proton account.

  7. Require 2FA and password before accessing Proton Drive in Windows Explorer

    I would like the addition of an option in the Settings menu.

    If this option is checked, data 'at rest' in the Proton Drive is encrypted and unusable in a Windows computer by default, on each startup. Only after entering the Proton password and 2FA does the Proton app unlock, decrypt all files and make read/write possible.

    To clarify, it could still sync files while in 'encrypted' mode from the cloud to on-premise, but always encrypted first. And usable upon unlock.

    Then when the user actually wants to do something, they can enter credentials and decrypt their Proton Drive. Kind…

  9. Optional One-way or Two-Way synchronization direction

    I want to use ProtonDrive on Windows for backing up my data.
    In order not to loose my local data I would suggest additional options to improve the synchronization process.

    1. One direction sync (send files to Proton servers only) vs two-way sync.

    Now local files cannot be deleted when data from the Proton servers is removed (by accident or intentionally)
    This also would enable to link the synchronization to an already existing backed up computer on the Proton Servers. In my case I got a duplication of saved data after I re-installed the Proton Drive Windows app.

  10. Show sync progress

    The desktop app could show the sync progress (files synced/total files to be synced) in the Activity tab. That would make it easier to guess how long it might take for the whole syncing process to get completed.

  12. Proton Drive Android App — sync with a local folder

    I would really like the ability to not only have the offline-available files be accessable from within the Android app, but to also be able to specify a local folder on my device where those files would be located, so I could access them from any other app. Any remote changes are synced to the local files, any local changes are synced to the remote files. One of the reasons is that I need a way to sync my KeePass database between my desktop and my phone. Right now I'm using OneDrive for it, which I believe provides some kind…

  13. Open documents support (https://opendocumentformat.org/)

    Hi team,

    I want to suggest compatibility with open document formats (https://opendocumentformat.org/).

    I use LibreOffice instead M1cr0s0ft Office since 2012.

    OpenDocument files are zip files with changed extensions, inside, XML and some other formats.

    It is just a suggestion, FLOSS enthusiast will love being able to open (or edit, who knows :D) open document files.

    Regards!

  14. SHARED FOLDERS : Subfolders and contents need download counters and a share indicators.

    If you share a folder only the folder pointed to by the URL link records if it is shared and how many downloads have occurred using that link.

    Within the shared folder the "details" menu option of each subfolder and file indicate they are not shared and doesn't record if they have been downloaded.

    All shared objects need to indicate they are being shared and how many downloads have occurred. Currently the management of shared objects is very limited if you don't have this information.

  15. Open local PDF files on mobile

    The Proton Drive mobile app can open PDF files uploaded within the app. However, it is not registered to open PDF files from within the system (e.g. a PDF file inside the File Manager). Adding this won't be difficult, especially since Proton Drive mobile app can already open these files.

  16. Self-Destructing Files

    Self-Destructing Files: I believe there is an opportunity to enhance file security by implementing self-destructing functionality for shared files and files in the deleted files folder. Currently, shared files do not have The ability to self-destruct, and files in the deleted files folder remain indefinitely until manually deleted. Adding a self-destruct timer for both shared files and files in the deleted files folder would provide users with greater control over data privacy and eliminate the need for manual deletion.

  19. Show desktop folders on mobile app

    I'm using the beta Windows sync client and it works well to be able to sync my folders up to the Proton Drive webapp. However, while the sync client allows you to sync any folders on your machine, no folders outside of the ProtonDrive folder on the computer are showing up on the mobile app. On the web all of the folders that sit outside of the Proton Drive main folder show up under a "Computers" navigation. For those of us that have multiple folders across multiple drives can you enable the ability to see "computers" in the mobile app?

  20. Support ReFS and Storage Spaces for Windows

    I recently received Beta access to Proton Drive. However, it is mostly unusable to me as I cannot have my sync folder on my Storage Spaces drive that uses ReFS.

    Boot drive with NTFS works properly.
