Proton Drive folder sharing option
I would love to have in Proton Drive also folder sharing with permissions options like access expiration by date, particular email addresses or available link for external access to particular folder for limited time with an option to view who nor how many times the file from Drive been download.

It's very important from a security perspective to be able to share links with only certain people instead of just the "anyone who has a link". The password provides security but is not a good solution because then you need to try to get the password to everyone you want to share with and they have to remember it somehow. If I can just share the link with trusted email addresses like other providers do, that would be excellent. Also provide different levels of permissions like edit, view only.

There are a few things mentioned here, so I want to clarify my relatively simple use case. I have a Visionary account with 6 users and 3TB of storage, but no way to create a shared space to store files for those users. Sharing folders with other Proton users would be a nice to have, but the priority is those within the same account or organisation within Proton.

2 years after we only have link sharing but not sharing within an organization. It is a shame.

This is the one of two features without which I can't fully switch over to exclusively using Proton Drive. Without the ability to have others send files to my drive in some way, either by file requests or shared folders, this Proton Drive is of limited use to me.

Agree with the proposal including granting permissions including read-only, read/write, and write-only (dropbox).

The main negative to this is that i suspect there's a concern that ProtonDrive would just get used as a "warez distribution" (or worse) medium which would cause all sorts of negative attention.

This feature is core functionality, not a nice to have.

Does Proton Drive enable folder sharing? This folder sharing capability is basic functionality for a cloud-based file sharing system. Until this is enabled or clarified, I'm forced to use services like Box or Google Drive which are much less secure.

Being able to share a whole folder would make proton drive useful for me and my housemates.
Until then, google docs provides too much value to make the switch. -

This would also help me go all in on Proton, I'm migrating my family from Google to NextCloud but would really prefer everything under one service with me able to share, at least within the account I have for my family and to replicate the contents back to my TrueNAS or something similar which I'm doing with my ProtonMail and my NextCloud today.

Without the ability to share a folder, to allow, via the link, someone to view the folder, Proton Drive is of limited use. Is this coming soon I hope?

Proton Drive is very useful to me if I can share access to whole folders. Without it I don't have much reason to use it.

Plus like other cloud file secure sharing providers, more granular control over sharing option is needed. Encryption, expiration, and non-transfer, link or user based share, and access privileges.
This is very important as cloud file sharing is by definition used to share sensitive files such as tax related documents or IDs to get processed by specialists.

Triple Voted - This feature is very necessary for sharing whole groups of items instead of one link at a time...
