  1. Move photos from photos tab to other folders

    Hi, thanks for making Drive available for Linux. I use Fedora 39 KDE.
    I also use Photo backup via Android (Samsung S23)
    When I open all my files/photos in Linux web browesr, if I right click images, I can move to respective folders. As well as preview, move,rename, get link & delete.
    If I open the folder that uploads Photos, via Android, this option is not available. Only download, upload or delete.
    Perhaps this is a feature in the making?

  3. Option to remove Windows Explorer integration

    The windows Explorer integration for Proton is pretty good overall - but still, I prefer to have my drive apps be as unobtrusive as possible.

    Is there any chance there can be a toggle in the settings of the Proton Drive desktop app to remove Explorer integration?

  4. Backup Windows system folders

    For those of us that use Steam for gaming, or any other platform where local save data is saved to program files or program files x86 it would be nice if those files can be added to the Proton Drive app. Some of the games I have save character data to these directories and I am unable to add them to the Drive app as it indicates it is a 'system folder that can't be synced'. I know Steam has their own cloud backup for save files, but this would be better, at least for me.

  5. Map Viewer for Geo / Location Data in files

    This is similar but more focused than the idea here: https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/945460-general-ideas/suggestions/45229390-proton-maps

    This is more about a 'viewer' of files on Proton Drive to open a map UI of items within Drive that have a geolocation. Creating layers/adding geometry (like a google mymaps) is not part of this idea but could be part of roadmap.

    1. View geotagged photos from an album in a map view; or to add/change location of photo (via pan/zoom from the photo view)

    2. Open geo-files in a map view, that is kml, gps tracks, sheet with lat/long, shapefile, geojson... open standards.

    Again, the focus of this idea…

  6. Calidad de imágenes

    Sometimes when I'm going to re-disload an image already up, it gets lowered, I get lower, fix that.

    A veces cuando voy a volver a descargar una imagen ya subida, se me baja con menor calidad, arreglen eso.

  8. Edit photo metadata

    Don't need much. Currently, the Photos portion of Drive doesn't have any capability beyond view photo.

    I would like to be able to upload lots of photos and re-arrange them/fix metadata issues.

    Primarily, Windows has taken some of my old photos I've edited/restored and made the Date Modified to today's date, when the photo date taken was 1965. But when I upload to Photos, it appears as today's date.

    I should be able to easily go in and correct these mistakes.

  9. Sync with QNAP NAS

    What I miss the most on Proton Drive is ability to Sync folders with QNAP NAS. It would be awesome to have Proton Drive as a secure cloud backup storage.

  10. Edit photos

    Now that we have the photo backup in Proton Drive, it would be great to have the same edit features for the pictures as Google Photos (crop, ajust luminosity, contrast, etc)

  11. Folder specific layouts

    Each folder should have its own layout. A folder should remember the layout I set it to, and use that layout when opened later.

  13. Share Photos folder

    It's great we can finally sync our photos automatically with Proton Drive, but now, we'd like to share them.

    I would like to be able to share the whole folder with people from my family account.

    Congrats for all your great work !

  14. Choose photo sync folder per device

    Hello,

    It would be good to allow the user to select the folder where Photos are synced to for each device, as done by other services.

    This would be particularly useful when a user possesses more than one mobile device and wishes to keep the photos of each of those devices separate from the others.

    Example:
    Mobile 1: PhotoFolder1
    Mobile 2: PhotoFolder2
    Mobile 3: PhotoFolder1

    Thank you

  16. Set number of times a shared file can be accessed

    I want to be able to share a file with a password that can only be used once.

    My motivation for this is that it greatly helps detect when a breach has happened because the person you're trying to share with won't be able to access the file as somebody got there before them.

  17. Allow upload photos without WiFi

    Currently the app requires WiFi to upload photos. For those of us with unlimited cellular data it would be nice to upload using this.

  18. Add ability to Copy, Paste, Better Sorts, Like, Rotate, etc

    We need some basic features like CUT/COPY/PASTE. Would like to be able to sort using other metadata besides the upload/modified date - for photos, creation date is essential for sorting. What about tagging/liking/favoriting/♥️ photos? Not having the ability to scroll through photos and easily view the detailed metadata will be a dealbreaker at some point. Basic photo editing tools like at least ‘rotate’ would be great. It really needs some of these simple features to make it usable.

  19. Sync iPad OS file changes

    Presently the Windows client of Proton Drive allows launch, change and save of files. That function is not active in the OS for the ipad, where any changes made to a file are not saved to the drive file. This means I can make, save and leave a file thinking its updated and when I return to it, the changes are missing.

    Lets fix this! thanks

  20. Reaction tracker button

    Dear Proton Development Team,

    I'd like to suggest a valuable addition to enhance user engagement: the introduction of a "Reaction Tracker" button for folders. Here's a brief overview of how this feature could function:

    1. Users can activate the Reaction Tracker for a specific folder within the Proton app.
    2. When a recipient opens a shared video link from that folder, their face camera will automatically initiate recording.
    3. The recorded reaction videos would be neatly stored in a designated folder titled "Recorded Reactions" for easy access.

    This innovative feature not only adds an element of surprise and delight to video sharing but…
