Proton Photos
basically Google photos, but better because it's encrypted.
As in, a mobile app for backing up and organizing phone photos.
Maybe we could pay a monthly fee for access to Photos, Drive, and VPN service. I'd much rather support an independent company than Google

Now that photo sync is implemented, it would be great to be able to choose which albums from my gallery I want to sync.

The most important features for me are face recognition, a nice handling of geolocation (presenting it on a map) and a migration tool from Google Photos. ente.io makes a great impression how and that all these great features can be done securely. I will wait a couple of months if Proton manages to bring up an alternative solution. I would be glad not to migrate twice.

I'm so glad this has been made available as I'm switching to Proton from Google and this will help the transition. Two requests: Can there be an option to also backup RAW images? It looks like it just syncs the jpgs currently. Also, would there be way to link to a google account and import all the photos already uploaded and stored there to help with the transition?

The automatic camera backup portion of this feature was just completed.

I care alot about privacy, but my wife loves google photos. Convincing her to use proton for everything would need this feature.

I requested this 2 years ago. Good to see it is finally planned. However, like almost all other comments, we need an ETA and an idea of features to expect. Your main competitor, Skiff, are already blasting through the feature request list and a Skiff Photos app is on the agenda. I'm committed to Proton for now but also using Skiff to see how they compare. Excited to see your take on Photos support.

This is basically the only remaining reason I personally continue to use a different cloud storage provider :)

Please provide an ETA. Proton Drive really misses an auto upload feature to backup camera pictures from mobile phone. It is a game changer for me to switch to Proton.

Please provide for an auto-upload feature of custom folders (like your DCIM folder)

We already pay for Protonmail, Proton drive etc and Proton photos should be free for paid users so why pay extra for photos?

One big usability issue is that you currently can not scroll through your photos in the IOS app

Hopefully a dedicated photos app as others mentioned! A Backup function like OneDrive is not needed.

Please keep in mind the use case of seamlessly sharing photos between family members as something to deliver from day one!!!

Hopefully ‘Planned’ becomes ‘In Progress’ a lot quicker than the usual Proton velocity. A Photos product is critical to all of us who value our privacy
