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

Hopefully they add a new app and don't make the proton drive app more crowded

Would be a game chnager I think for many people to switch over to drive, photos safe, private and convenient storage is a great incentive.

YESSS great news. I suggest a team up with photoprism. A open source project that could link to a proton drive folder maybe and use it as a photos app…

Manually syncing my photos to my drive is a PITA.

This is necessary. It's hard to justify the 200% additional cost over Google one for only 50% more storage, but a photos app is essential for the transition.

This is a key factor in my and my families adoption of Proton Drive. We're a mixed userbase of Mac, Windows, Linux, iOS, Android and the main reason to have lots of storage is to securely and privately backup our memories.
The most important items for us would be to have mobile apps that take care of upload automatically (ala Google photos or iCloud photos) and a nice way to view photos, ideally via native apps. Live photos support is also a must.

Only if people allow to be tagged!!! Proton - privacy by default, fhs.

Automatically upload all photos and videos captured on my phone to a "Photos" and "Videos" folder in my Proton Drive. When I view the folder, show thumbnails. The fancy scrollbar in Google Photos that allows me to slide through the months would be nice extra touch.

This is one of the primary blockers I must keep using Google Workspace. I would love to consider a migration to Proton, but this is a missing service that some family members need.
It should have an auto-sync process so new photos are updated automatically.
Geolocation (through the metadata) and face recognition (maybe a privacy issue?) can be useful too, so I can tag people or re-visit some locations.
We use iOS devices.

Absolutely! I have been thinking this for awhile now. Glad I'm not the only one. As soon as this comes out I can cut all ties with google.
