  1. Access logging & alerts for shared files

    Would be great to have a log providing an audit trail of when shared files were accessed. i.e. "Shared file XYZ.txt was downloaded $DATE." Additionally, the option to receive an email alert when the file is accessed would be nice. It's convenient to know when someone has grabbed a shared file, and it's great to detect if a shared file is being accessed more often than expected (i.e. someone shared the link with others).

  2. Proton Drive - Share link and share shows in other Proton users area

    When I want to share a folder or file with another Proton Drive user I can either put in their user info for them to access it or I can send them the link. When they get it, they can go into their Drive and see my share in their "Sharing" section and they can view it without downloading. I'd also like to see restrictions where i can make my file/folder viewable only and they can't download it.
    I think the current way of sharing, where they have to download it makes my information very insecure. Because the shares always…

  3. Anonymous file upload

    I'd like to get file uploads, à la Dropbox File Request, but with the security of e.g. SecureDrop.

    This should give the uploader as much security as possible; eg
    * no logs
    * optional space for text (delivered as email with the file upload notification), eg to identify themselves as much as they want, explain what the files are, etc
    * route through a proxy or the like if on open web
    * available as Tor service
    * encrypt in browser to a GPG key I provide, or at least to my ProtonMail key
    * etc (copy SecureDrop, Mega, etc)

  5. Sync Google Drive and Photos to Proton

    Any docs/pictures on the Google service need to be automatically transferred over to Proton. This keeps a seemless experience on the device, while not retaining (long term) data with Google.

  6. Sync files from one computer to 1 or more others

    I often work on data or files on my desktop, and later move to my laptop to continue working. My understanding of the current sync a folder function is that files from each computer are segregated in the cloud. There's no way to sync a folder on one computer and have that folder mirrored on another. This functionality is like SugarSync.

  7. ProtonDrive iOS Integration and Google Drive Transfer tool

    two things:
    i’d like to see protondrive be integrated into iOS so when saving files, one can upload through iOS to protondrive like we can with google drive, icloud etc.

    would also like to take everything off of google drive and would like a tool to import-export from google drive to protondrive.

    otherwise, so glad protonpeeps are adding products and functionality. love the tools especially now when privacy is increasingly scare.

  10. A Microsoft Office Add-In to enable auto-save

    Auto save can only be enabled when saving to a cloud. MS only have One drive available but Asus Webstorage have an addin to allow you to use your cloud storage with office. Would be great if Proton Drive could do the same and we could have our documents in a safe place by default

  12. Register Proton Drive mobile app to open local PDF files

    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. Right click context menu to manage files folders and links

    Add an extension that allows you to upload a file/folder directly to the cloud using the context menu and create a share link straight away.

  17. Proton Drive VAULT / ARCHIVE area that is cloud only and excluded from all app sync operations.

    It would be desirable that a part of your Proton Drive that should only be in the cloud and not visible to the app.

    Currently the Windows app syncs everything:
    * Everything in the directories that you select is uploaded
    * Everything in the "My Files" can be accessed from desktop by cloud stubs that the app creates.

    It would desirable to be able to select what you want from Proton Drive storage to be visible to your Win desktop. This could be done several ways:
    * The app have a button with the options of syncing/not syncing your Proton…

  18. Implement interface which permits accessing Proton Drive as network share

    As a Linux user I’m using duplicity/deja-dup for my local backups. This backup application also supports several protocols to access remote locations, such as ftp/ftps, nfs, ssh, sftp.
    In order to make use of Proton Drive storage in this context it would be necessary to access Proton Drive via some of these protocols which would be of great benefit since then incremental backups would be possible.
    Currently I can only make a local snapshot backup and then transfer the generated files as a whole bunch which takes considerable transmission time.
