File Viewer and Media Player
I think you should have a file viewer or player for files that are linked to/in your Proton Drive, much like Google Drive does -- not just downloads of such files.

Hi! We wanted to let you know that this is available. You can learn more about previewable file types here: https://proton.me/support/drive-previewable-file-types

This is essential because my files shouldn't be downloaded on my unencrypted device. Currently I must view my files on my device.

I recently needed this feature due to issues with my website. I had to create a video for Wix support to be able to see the problems visually I was having on my site. I ended up having to create yet another account on a free streaming site and upload the video and send them a link for them to view it. I'd rather use my Proton Drive to be able to send a link from proton Drive so the people can view image and videos at least. I will also need this feature for my business for customers. I need this feature in a big way for my software development.

A solid media player would greatly enhance Proton Drive on both web and mobile. Great video controls and a solid music player to create playlists and edit music file metadata.

As far as I'm aware Proton Drive stands alone in Cloud applications having no direct access to play media files held on Cloud. This is pretty poor. Preview of images and video really doesn't cut it/

We appear to have a doc, pdf, and text viewer. Would be great to have a spreadsheet viewer (think libreOffice read-only).

I will like to be able to stream videos as well. The whole 100 mb limit in streaming video on the website is very limiting. Most videos are more than 100 mb. I understand that on-the-fly decryption is somewhat limited in browsers and all, but you can bump up the limit to something more than 100 mb. Something like 500 mb will be better.

Agree, many other cloud services do that, such as MEGA, Gofile, Pixeldrain, etc. It seems pretty standard for a paid host.

Would welcome a Proton Drive media/music player. I'd love to store my music files and photos/videos in PD and have the ability to create music playlists and stream to my mobile app and create photo gallery slideshow.

Yes - especially for users who are not logged in. I have many friends and family who do not use any Proton services. I wish they preview images and videos for password-protected folders that I share with them!
