1. 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 up overwriting good files.

   Normally this problem can be solved by running checksums to verify integrity. A script can make sure that everything matches up correctly, and can automatically repair things instead of propagating destruction upon all my files. Unfortunately, it seems that Proton Drive hasn't exposed a system for this yet, so there is no reasonable way for me to do these integrity checks that are a key part of any healthy synchronization framework.

   The number one thing a file system should not do is destroy its files. Checksums are kind of 'the way' we make sure we don't explode things. This is really quite an essential feature.

   Edit: IMPORTANT: It seems I should mention that checksums can also MASSIVELY reduce the overhead traffic on your servers. They allow a sync engine to see if a file is the same, and its metadata just changed for some reason, so then the sync engine doesn't have to re-download the thing it already has. The users want this to speed up syncs on their end, and you guys should want this to get better performance for less server load on your end.

2. 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.

3. 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.

6. Support hard links in Drive for file access from multiple locations

   Similar to the concept of hard links on file systems (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_link) it would be useful to have files that can be accessed from multiple locations in Drive that all point to the same underlying storage. This makes it economical to organize information hierarchically where a file might be conveniently accessed from multiple locations.

9. Proposal to Add Version Control System (VCS) Support to Proton Drive

   Dear Proton Drive Development Team,

   I hope this message finds you in good time. First of all, I'd like to thank Proton Drive for the excellent services it offers. Your commitment to security, privacy, and ease of use, in particular, makes your platform indispensable for many users.

   However, I have a suggestion for a feature that could be added to Proton Drive for software developers: Version Control System (VCS) Support.

   Why Would VCS Support Be an Opportunity for Proton Drive?

   Version control has become a fundamental tool in the software development process. It allows teams to efficiently manage their projects, track changes, and collaborate. Platforms like Git, GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket are widely used in the software development world, but the strong security features and user-friendly architecture offered by Proton Drive create a significant opportunity to offer a unique solution in this area.

   Proton Drive provides a secure and scalable work environment by providing a centralized version control system for software developers, while ensuring efficient file sharing with high security and privacy standards.

   Key Features Offered with VCS Integration

   Adding VCS support to Proton Drive can offer the following powerful features:

   Version History: By storing each version of files, it will be possible to track past changes and revert to older versions if necessary.

   Branching & Merging: Enables teams to work in parallel and ensures seamless integration of changes into the main project.

   Upload and Push Operations: Users upload their changes to a central repository and track change history, ensuring a streamlined workflow.

   Team Collaboration and Security: Integrating with Proton Drive's existing security features, you can manage team file access permissions and ensure sensitive data is shared only with authorized individuals.

   Tagging and Release Notes: Tags, comments, and release notes can be added to specific versions, simplifying project development tracking and version transitions.

   Benefits of VCS Support

   Adding VCS support to Proton Drive offers the following benefits:

   Secure and Centralized Storage for Developers: Proton Drive allows software developers to store their projects in a secure environment, further strengthening the platform's already robust security infrastructure.

   Efficient Collaboration: It makes it easier for teams to work securely on the same projects, enabling efficient collaboration on large and complex projects.

   Competitive Advantage: Proton Drive offers not only file storage but also version control support, making it a comprehensive collaboration tool for software development teams.

12. Photos: OCR/Text scanning and photo text search

    In iCloud Photos, I find it very useful that in my massive photo library I can search for text appearing in my photos. This makes searching for old pictures of documents (like a business card from three years ago) very easy. Optical Character Recognition (OCR), from my understanding, is much less computationally intensive than image classification or facial recognition, so it would be easier to implement before those in Proton Drive to scan your library and easier to run via local models, and still add a lot in terms of search functionality.

13. File management paradigm change?

    As a curious, sometimes geek with nerd outbursts, user exploring and using newest techologies since 40 years

    I'd like ProtonDrive to consider:
    - merging all types of documents (office, audio, video, etc) into a single environment (as opposed to the Documents/Photos distiction)
    - allow the user to chose to expose these documents to the OS
    - providing labels/tags/keywords management (add, remove, batch rename)
    - integrate these labels/tags/keywords within the files metadata without changing their modification date (as opposed to libraries systems strongly linked to products and service providers)
    - providing views management (add, remove, rename) based on the aforementioned labels/tags/keywords
    - providing a funtionality to generate a folder structure based on views

    So that:
    - Merging: one environment simplifies and generalizes the file management development and usage
    - Labels, views: it doesn't matter anymore where I store files, but how I can find them easliy (consistent with ProtonMail's labels/views philosophy)
    - Optionally expose files: for instance I can listen to music with my favorite 3rd party application instead of putting lots of effort for additional ProtonXXX apps
    - Integrate labels, generate folder structure: portability is ensured for the day I decide to move my files to another platform (export folder structure with my personal categorization system without risk of loosing years of organization)
    - Modification date: obviously the file management should't tamper with the effective file content change date

    Thank you for considering shaping a futuristic UX with an open and portable file system management post-GAFAM and service provider independent! 😍

    A file manager based on proton, the default android file manager is a mess and even google files is pretty lame and not easily navigated, on windows "files" app is a good alternative for file manager and on mac the default is pretty decent and there is eagle both for mac and windows but it is not available for android or ios, it would be good to see something like eagle for phones and computers both integrated with proton drive like icloud on ios and mac

16. Selecting which cloud-based directories or folders to sync to your local device

    This feature allows you to select which cloud-based directories to sync to your local device. This is great for shared/office devices, as it allows you to only access specific cloud-based folders on your local device. This prevents someone from seeing the entire contents of a cloud-based directory or folder (OneDrive has this feature).

18. Photo Sync - Customizable time table

    Currently, Proton Drive (Photos) allows users to back up their photos, including over mobile data, and specifically select where they are uploaded from. But, daily, many users take pictures or screenshots to send to friends and family only to delete them minutes later. Or, take multiple pictures of a single event just to pick out what they like the most and delete the rest. If users don't go into their photo backup regularly, it can be swamped with tons of pictures that users need to parse through and get rid of.

    Would it be possible to allow users to select a timetable/schedule to upload their pictures and reduce clutter and constant maintenance?

    Example:

    Settings menu > Photo backup > Enable photo backup.
    A grayed-out dropdown menu underneath is enabled with the following options:
    - Automatic (default)
    - Every 1 hour
    - Every 24 hours
    - Every 7 days
    - Every 30 days

20. Make Photos on Drive more like a Photo Viewer over File System

    The photos viewer is nice but it would still be good to view the photos as normal files as part of the file system and makes them syncable to computers.

    This would allow the user to manipulate the photos once they're in Proton Drive and limited to the UI. Once you upload them, it's almost like they're inaccessible to anything but viewing.

    It would also allow the user to organise/rename/edit the photos on their local computer rather than them being "hidden" away and only accessible in the UI. Although there are albums for organisation, folder based organisation would also be possible which would not show in the Photos view.

    The photos view would stay as-is, perhaps allowing a customisable selection of folders being available to select for the Photos view to search through for photos.
