Please add this, secure file upload is a critical part of being able to share and distribute files

I think everybody else has already said it well. This would be a really big feature addition.

This is an imperative feature; its absence cripples the user-friendliness of the overall suite of applications.

Agreed. Until then, Dropbox will continue to get my money.

Yes I need that feature in my life

Really an essential feature

Essential feature for many business tasks. It will be awesome once a space limit can be set: https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/932839-proton-drive/suggestions/48645323-limit-space-for-shared-folders

This is a very important feature for businesses. It's a common need to request files from clients.

This is a critical feature for ProtonDrive, because the drive is only of limited usefulness, if I'm the only one who can upload files.

If my family wants to send large files to me, I still have to rely on other cloud providers or USB-sticks.

I get, that this feature is not trivial to implement while still upholding e2e-encryption standards, but there are ways around that:

1. "file-drop link protected by asymmetric encryption / hybrid encryption" - publicly shared encryption certificate and a e2e-encrpted decryption key. When uploading a file, a random password is used to encrypt the file symmetrically and the public certificate is used to store the password with the file, until the user accesses dropped files.
2. "public folder with separate e2e-encryption secret, possibly in addition to a password" - When you intend to share an empty folder plublicly, you need to set a separate strong e2e-encryption secret with the recipient of the link. Whenever you or the user access this folder, you have to enter the e2e-encryption secret. worse usability than other cloud drives, but gets the job done and still encourages people to get a real proton-drive account for better usabiltiy.

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!

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.
