  3. Distinguish between uploaded files and local files

    To somehow be able to distinguish between files that have been uploaded and which have not, so that I can delete them locally.
    For instance, sometimes some uploads fail and it is hard to tell which ones and re upload them

  4. Root access to proton drive similar to Dropbox/Onedrive instead of "My files"

    Please change this for a better file experience. Many of us map our files, and this current form is messy. Also "Files" should have been capitalized, this looks ridiculous.

  5. Customize Folders to backup structure

    An option that doesn't really exists with the competitors, having the ability to choose a target folder for the backups with ProtonDrive.

    Right now, if I have a folder "Photos" and I would love to only backup a few folders in it (ex: 2020, 2021, etc.) I have to select those but they will appear on Proton as 2020, 2021. If we could specific the destination folder I could have a "Photos" folder to which I'd select to backup 2020, 2021 in.

    Current:
    2020 -> 2020
    2021 -> 2021

    Future:
    2020 -> Photos\2020
    2021 -> Photos\2021

    Giving more flexibility to…

  7. "Cancelled" tab in upload pop-up of the Webapp interface

    It would be really great to have a "Cancelled" tab when uploading files to Proton Drive. Let me explain.
    Currently, when uploading files (especially if it is a very large number of files) you get a small pop-up showing you the progress of your upload.

    The pop-up has four (4) tabs:
    1) All
    2) Active
    3) Completed
    4) Failed

    CONTEXT:
    However, let's say you were uploading a very large folder (e.g., 30-50GB) which included thousands of files. For some reason, the upload was interrupted and did not finish completely. When you try to re-upload the large folder, most people will…

  8. Improve Windows context menu

    With windows explorer and Proton Drive alikes, I am used to having contextual menu with options like:
    - Always keep on this device
    - Free-up space
    - See online
    - ...

    It is partially implemented when browsing within the proton drive folder, but it missing with the other synced folders like "Desktop" or "My Documents"

    PS: Along with the contextual menus, it would be nice to have information like sync status appearing in the explorer like with most Proton Drive counterparts.

  9. Release a visionary plan for black friday.

    For those of us who initially missed out, it would be nice to have an option for visionary. Even if it is more expensive than the original, this would be a nice way to have a symbiotic relationship with Proton and also potentially drum up sales for Proton.

  11. Remove from download on ios Files app.

    Remove from download on iOS “Files app”. If I open a file in the app, the file is also downloaded locally to the device and I have no way to remove it from the downloads. With dropbox, even if I open the file (in app) it is not downloaded to the device. Only if I put save to device.

  12. Copy document from website to proton drive directly.

    Instead of transferring from this computer ("uploading") to Proton Drive, how about transferring from another computer to Proton Drive?

    That is, allow providing a URL to a document so it can be transferred from some other computer to Proton Drive.

    I have a personal website and would like to transfer a copy of a couple files without "downloading" them first. Less transferring (less network traffic) that way. Ideally, the transfer request would not come from my computer, but instead from the Proton Drive server (or whatever other computer you all want to use that is in your control for security).

  13. Option to choose the type of link to be created for sharing with others: Read only or edit access

    Although the option exist to create a sharing link but the link provides full fledged access, a user should be able to create a link which is still secured by password but is not giving edit access to the person holding the link and the password. The feature already exists in microsoft's "one drive".

  14. 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.

  16. 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).

  17. Prevent spread of child sexual abuse imagery

    I love the idea of ProtonDrive, and I value privacy. Yet, a system like ProtonDrive can be used by pedophiles to share pictures or videos of child sexual abuse, which must be prevented. To do this, I'd appreciate if ProtonDrive would classify any images upon upload and prevent sharing if they are very likely to be of such nature.

    This restriction would make it much harder for abusive content to spread, and at the same time not invade anyones privacy, since the result of the classification is not shared with anyone. It just prevents the user from sharing the data.

  18. Hidden Albums

    At the time of this feature request, albums in Photos are in development and are planned for release soon.

    However, we need to anticipate a very useful feature: "private" or "hidden" albums - the terminology doesn't make much difference.

    This is the ability to select an entire album or select photos and videos and hide them from the home screen, requiring you to go to a "private" location that prompts you for a password (or other method) to access what you've hidden.
