Yeah, it's not usable until there's a desktop sync app. This is critical.

After that, having android and iOS apps will make it very convenient. This is important.

As an example use case; if I can take a photo or screenshot on my phone while I'm out, go home and boot up my computer and see that it's already in the proper folder, we're working.

Another example use case; if I can write a resume or similar important document on my computer, shut it down without manually doing anything else, go out, I see a sign somewhere that says they're hiring, I can pull out my phone, go to the most recent version of my resume, and send it to them via email or however they want it.

Yes, this is quite a basic feature for such a service. Today I suggested using Ace editor,
https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/932839-proton-drive/suggestions/45762946-ace-ajax-org-cloud9-editor-support
since I suppose it would be possible to integrate a browser based editor into Proton Drive. Just as Google Drive can use "Text Editor" to edit text files.

I write transgressive fiction which coiuld be considered illegal in my country and Google has a habit of scanning documents and sending them to law enforcement so I've had to completely remove all of my writing off Google Drive/Docs and would like a solution that isn't Microsoft to be able to edit my documents that I can do across computers rather than having a hard file sitting on my hard drive that I have to manually transfer between devices

Would be very helpful to help de-Google if a doc editor was in scope

Unless there's a desktop sync app Proton Drive is a no-go to me. I've been a Visionary user since it's inception and have tried moving Gigabytes of files from OneDrive to Proton Drive using the web interface. The slow upload speeds limited by Proton Drive and slow file check process after upload makes this impossible to use for me. Need a desktop sync app. I would not have released this out of beta without it.

Dear Proton Team,
Your Proton Drive product looked appealing until I saw there is no sync client. In my use case it is completely useless.

I need to be able to manage files from my file explorer, command line of any OS I'm using (Windows, Linux, MAC).

A great service with a poor usability. That's so sad !

Hi, same for me, with a sync app, I could break away from providers like Google or Swisscom.
I trust more Proton teams than the other, so it would be a chance to get a sync app for Proton Cloud. Without this option, I don't really need all this space.
Thank you!

Without a way of syncing files to my drive, it's useless. I'd use it as a Dropbox replacement.

Implementing an OnlyOffice server (open source) would jump-start you in this space.

Please Proton Team :
I also need synchronisation for Windows, Linux, MacOS and Android (don't care about Iphone). For the moment I'll stay with Dropbox and I don't want to !
Thank you very much !!!

I want to auto-synch from any Android and Apple device, particularly photos.
The ONLY reason I still use Google is because I can synch my photos from my Android phone, and the tools is Google Photos are good.

Yes, also would like to have Cyberduck integration too.

It would be really great, if I have the ability to Create & Edit files within Proton Drive space without needing any external tools.

Features similar to Google Drive/One Drive to manage the entire Office suite, Event if the Libre Office could be accessible within Drive, that would be really great!

Or to the least ability to manage below file types,
- Text File (Not just .txt file, But all text viewer supported files like no file type, .md, .csv, .html, .py, .sh, etc.)
- Word File
- Excel/Spreadsheet Files

With this, Data privacy would be by design for files, Not just on storage, But while Creation & Editing as well in a secured space

Please add API, how much more do I have to ask you? Very much needed API, to automate the unloading of reserial copies.

The ONLY reason I still use Google is because the convenience of syncing my desktop with Google drive. It's nice to have all your files updated- no matter which machine you are on.

Not to mention that downloading the document every time one wants to edit it means it could easily be harvested or compromised if one forgets to delete it from the physical device they are editing it on. A system similar to Google Keep, which is sort of a "virtual sticky note editor" would be ideal because the document would never reside on the physical device.

I hate the idea of having to download a file in order to either look at it or do a simple edit of it. That is because I would probably forget to upload it again and it would sit on my device available to anyone who might hack it or steal it. A capability similar to Google Keep which uses virtual "sticky notes" for simple text items would be perfect, especially if they could be edited directly on the device and not downloaded.

If ProtonDocs was a thing (Word processing and spreadsheets at least) I could finally completely dump google.

Priority #1: Sync client for Windows and Linux with simmilar features as Google Drive
Priority #2: Sync API for use from rclone

I would like this too. I think to help make the request less daunting (I.E. an entrie Proton Office suite) I'd like to add to this in suggesting that this functionality work with 3rd party office suites (for example OnlyOffice). That's assuming doing so doesn't break the privacy of the documents or meet a level of acceptable privacy/logging.

Let us be tolerant and expect the sync client to be created for all operating systems like also Richard mentioned on his last post.
Besides, macOS has taken FreeBSD as one basis of its system. So, in addition of GNU/Linux, macOS, MS Windows, iOS, Android, there is also BSD. If we have already client for macOS, then it would be easy to port it also to BSD.
Therefore there would be good to have more universal binary, that we can run in UNIX-like systems, MS Windows and smart devices, which have UNIX-like systems but on ARM-architecture. Actually also Apple is using ARM on new hardware but X86_64 on older hardware. So, finding universal binary format would be crucial to avoid building for different distros separately.
