  2. 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.

  3. Ability to edit a document (text, SPREADSHEET & PRESENTATION) with a non-proton user

    I was very happy to hear about the document editing feature, it's the killer feature I've been waiting for to switch to ProtonDrive and abandon Kdrive !
    But two disappointments :
    - firstly, there's only a text document editing function and no spreadsheet (excel) or presentation (PowerPoint). I imagine this will come later, but why not rely directly on Onlyoffice?
    - Secondly, it's not possible to use the document editing function with a user who doesn't use protondrive ! This drastically reduces the number of use cases, which is a shame...
    Until at least these two functions are in place,…

  4. 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…

  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. Obsidian Sync

    Obsidian is a very popular, open source notes tool that manages everything directly on the file system leaving it open to many different syncing options.

    Pairing Obsidian with a Proton Drive syncing option would create an excellent privacy focused notes solution. Obsidian has a plugin ecosystem that allows for additional functionality and by creating a Proton Drive sync option that could be utilized on both mobile and desktop applications you would simultaneously address a market need while expanding the scope of the drive offering to something on the level of a free office suite.

  7. Share documents with non-Proton users via link

    Currently when I share a document via email, the person I emailed is required to make a Proton account in order to view or edit the shared file. I would like to be able to send someone a link (by email or any other method, such as a private message) and they should be able to open and view the file. Google Drive does this.

  9. Show files shared with me in Proton Drive apps

    When I open the Proton Drive app on iPhone or Macbook, I can't see files that another person has shared with me in Proton Drive.

    I can only see them if I log in using a web browser.

  10. Delay for photo backup

    Currently Proton Drive uploads photos/videos as soon as they are taken.

    But sometimes you want those deleted immediately. And by the time you delete them from the local gallery, Proton Drive has already started uploading them, meaning you now have to wait until it's uploaded so you can also delete them from Proton Drive.

    A delay of maybe 5 minutes before starting the upload would be incredibly helpful in this situation.

  11. Custom styles for docs

    So excited that you're in the docs space now! In order to replace Google Docs, I need custom styles (set and recall Title, Subtitle, H1, H2, normal, etc.) with keyboard shortcuts. 1 up from Google would be the ability to create global style sets that can be applied to any doc.

  12. 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.

  13. Proton Drive Integration with Android Default Storage

    I haven't yet found a way to set Proton Drive as a default storage location on Android within the "My Files" functionality which drives selectable save options for most file save actions. Obviously, Google Drive is available along with MS OneDrive, internal storage, SD storage and network storage. Having Proton Drive set here would make file management much easier on Android mobile.

    When viewing Proton Drive in grid mode, I would like to see thumbnails of the images I have stored there. When looking for a particular image, having to click through each one individually is incredibly time consuming.

  16. Customizable folder icons

    It would be great if the folders could be assigned with different colors. Also assigning different icons would make it easier to find the desired folder faster.

  17. Folders in photos

    I would love the ability to create folders in the photos section of Proton Drive.

    Note that I'm NOT looking for the ability to create albums or tags, but to actually create folders within the photos section as a way of organizing my pictures.

    This was a feature that I used in Dropbox to manage a large amount of photos, and I was frustrated that it wasn't available in Google photos. I'm hoping that you can add it to Proton Drive (along with a smoother docs experience) to make it the best backup offering out there.

  18. Change or hide username and default email address in email sent inform about shared folders or files

    With the new sharing feature (web-version), an email is sent automatically to the recipients displaying the sender's standard username and email address. Let the user change the sender address and username (even aliases) or suppress the automatic email and send an individual email manually instead. The username and standard email address might confuse the recipient and breach the individual privacy policy of the sender.
