Share upload folder link
Share folders with the option to allow upload of files. This is an essencial feature to allow secure file transfer. Bonus points if notifications for uploaded files are present from day1.
This is especially important for companies, where receiving large files is sometimes troublesome.
Myself and my family currently use a (payed) competitor that provides this feature, and I can assure you I will not be adopting proton drive unless an equivalent feature is available.
PS: All the said.. I'm not sure posting ideas on this platform is of any use, provided proton has not given any feedback to any of the other ideas already posted..

As much as I'd like all the people I interact with to be on protonmail, making this feature only available to proton users is useless. It has to be a link that I create that ANYONE can use to upload files directly to a specific folder in my proton drive.
Dropbox, pcloud, and mega (and possibly others) all have this feature.

It is now possible to share upload folder to other proton accounts.

This feature is really critical and so handy when you need to save some files from a friend in a pinch

I will like this feature as well. If I had a password protected share link that I can upload files to quickly will be great. For example, I can go to the link and type in the password and quickly upload my keepass file to backup.

Without this feature, Proton Drive is not really usable for me. Requesting files is particularly important.

Totally agree with the other comments here. As a business, we can continue to use the e-mail service as such, but it gets unmanageable without the other integrated features working properly, such as drive, calendar and so on. This means we need to get these products from other providers, such as DB for folders, which creates a lot lower threshold for moving everything to a provider with all products functioning. Even the lack of a video conference option with Proton is almost a showstopper.

Besides sharing documents securely I also want to receive documents securely. Therefore, a proton mail integrated feature that allows to request documents to be uploaded via proton drive to my drive via a link shared via email.

Hi Gene,
Hopefully you'll get an alert about this comment, given how critical is your request.
I suggest you contact support directly for your needs, since they're only marginally related to the feature I requested (Share upload folder link).
To do that, click on your user name on protonmail's web ui and then select "Report a problem." You should get a response in a day or two.
Reddit is another option, but that's not as closely monitored as sending a support request directly.
Good luck!
Alex

You've got to be kidding me.. More than just links, there needs to be a built-in Shared Drive function in Proton Drive that allows multiple users of the same organization to view, edit and upload files to the same Shared Drive location. We just spent a lot of money on the business plan only to find out that this very, very basic feature is not available. What's the point of having it in a business plan if users can't work out of the same shared drive?
While reviewing the plan offers, we saw that none of them give you the ability to edit documents or perform team management, the way Google does. We thought that would be okay because we assumed there would still be team collaboration. Then we discover that despite having multiple users and an organization, people can't actually use the same drive. This needs to be remediated as a matter of priority because we'll be cancelling our subscription otherwise.

Lack of this feature is stopping me from using Proton Drive for my business.

Yes! Especially if it had file requests (like Dropbox, OneDrive, and WeTransfer) that allow users to create and send a link to request others to upload files to a specific folder without having an Proton account or seeing other files saved there.

I use this all the time on DB with clients, coaches, and students. I'd really like to use it on ProtonDrive.

Benjamin Ohe commented
Yes this is a huge need! would love if this worked for larger files like 50GB and multiple files

I really really really want this feature. I could easily get big files like music projects from novice computer users.
This is just one example of the many things it would enable me to do. I would use the service more and buy more space.

Permettre a des clients de déposer des documents de facon sécurisée via un lien relié a un dossier dans le drive.

I create password-protected shared links for people to send me files - but they must create an account to actually upload files. It would be great if we could either share a link that allows anybody to upload (like G Suite, MS 365, etc) or be able to request a file like this - but without a Proton account.

While I would prefer a more feature rich set of permissions (see suggestion: https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/932839-proton-drive/suggestions/46670965-manage-user-rights-on-shared-files-or-folders) this would be a really solid stop-gap solution to a very glaring issue!

I couldn't find this either.
This feature, for me, should be specific to allow anyone with access to the shared folder, even if not Proton user, to upload to it. -

Without this feature I'm unable to switch to Proton Drive.

It's also essential for me to get this. I use Tresorit for that and if Proton offers this, i would switch. It costs me 60 € monthly but is absolutely essential to get private documents from clients in my job (lawyer).
