This is critically needed for me. I run several applications with synchronized data stored in ProtonDrive across multiple devices, and I am unable to sync certain cross-platform apps on Android because I cannot sync Proton Drive as a filesystem target.

Isto me impede de sair do OneDrive e Google Drive para migrar pro Proton Drive.

This is essential to me. Ideally Proton Cloud would work in Android exactly like in Windows, from a user perspective. I would have "My Files" somewhere on my Android tablet or phone where my Android file manager can locate and access the files. Then I could open the files with whatever default app I have.

How I currently work it in OneDrive: I am using the cheapest OneDrive tier that has OD act exactly like Proton Cloud. An additional app, OneSync, helps me to store the cloud files on my tablet and has the location act like any other folder from where I can access files and use them with default apps.

That'd be amazing, especially since syncing with photo albums already works as intended.

Yeah. Folder sync/upload. I would use that instead of Photo Sync tbh

This feature would be very helpful to me since it would allow other apps to open Proton Drive files, which is the main use case of a cloud storage for me.
I really hope it gets implemented, in which case I would surely pay for a Proton Unlimited subscription and use Proton Drive as my main cloud storage.
Thank you in advance,

I would like to sync my Obsidian folder with my phone.

I fully agree with all people here, I would also very much like to be able to sync my Obsidian vault across devices in Proton Drive, especially android.

Hello.

This feature is essential for me at work and for personal use.

I don't want to depend on Google, Microsoft, or another multinational company that, ultimately, doesn't respect my privacy and even profits from my data.

I use a privacy-focused notes setup with Obsidian and Saber, and Proton Drive for secure backups. The only missing piece is automatic local folder sync on Android. Right now, I have to use Syncthing to keep everything in sync between my phone and desktop. If Proton Drive added this feature, I could rely fully on Proton’s ecosystem without needing any third-party tools. Would love to see this implemented!

Really needed for syncing my logseq graph

Not trying to threadjack, hear me out:

If this suggestion works how I think it does, I would love for ProtonDrive to appear on my list of Network Drives in the Android/Tizen Samsung MyFiles app. Google Drive already appears there but it would be so nice to see ProtonDrive there instead.

However, what the original poster suggested here would be a great middle-ground -- making it critical for me.

Absolutely needed to sync files between applications. I expected to be able to access my obsidian notes using Proton Drive, but this is not possible. So disapointing. Proton drive should bring atransparent filesystem when the user is logged in.

I need the same also to sync Obsidian folders but specially to sync Photos from the phone as regular files which i can organize later in subfolders, so removing the need for a Albums feature.

Let Proton Drive on android implement "cloud media provider"

It's possible for apps to register as "cloud media provider". This means that when a user can use this provider in the android photo picker. This is a great use-case for Proton Drive and would make it a much better Google Photos alternative.

Gigantic downgrade compared to most other offers on the market. Makes proton drive unusable for a lot of workflows

This is needed. I was shocked that it is not available :/

Decisive to stay

Very much a needed feature, please add asap

As many others stated, this is so needed to be able to auto-sync local backups of apps that don't have a (secure) cloud backup option. Please consider putting it on the roadmap soon.
