Transfer files from Dropbox
I am excited for Proton Drive and watching its Beta progress. Most of my current cloud storage is on Dropbox. Hoping that Proton will introduce a feature that allows for transfer of files directly from Dropbox to Proton Drive, similar to the import contacts feature from other providers on Proton Mail. A feature like that will be critical to my being able to migrate my files to Proton Drive. Right now my file storage is too large to migrate via download to my desktop, without a laborious multi-step download.

This is an essential feature. I also need the ability to sync files between local storage and the cloud. That's trivial with Dropbox, Google Drive, and every other cloud storage system I know of. I'm a Linux user, and I can find nothing that works for Proton Drive, which makes it useless to me.

Something like pasting a Dropbox / OneDrive / etc. link for Proton Drive to automatically add that link's content to Proton Drive would be a massive time saver. Such services have "make file online only" features that are often used, so the transfer process is:
1- Download from current service to local storage
2- Upload to Proton Drive
3- Juggle local storage if you can't download everything at once
4- Repeat until everything's uploadedBeing able to use a share link would make it literally a copy/paste action, leaving Proton Drive do the work. It would be a massive, massive time saver when transitioning from other services.
