Proton Drive Integration with Android Default Storage
I haven't yet found a way to set Proton Drive as a default storage location on Android within the "My Files" functionality which drives selectable save options for most file save actions. Obviously, Google Drive is available along with MS OneDrive, internal storage, SD storage and network storage. Having Proton Drive set here would make file management much easier on Android mobile.

I really need this.
I'm on an Unlimited plan but the drive functions are basically non existent... and not being able to pick photos from proton on android might be a deal breaker -

It's a shame - I really love Proton and want to use it to its fullest potential but this keeps my obsidian vault bounded. I know its a security issue, but right now its a deal breaker - please give us a big warning but let us do our thing. I'm begging!

I have fallen in love with Obsidian and yet I can't sync it easily through Proton Drive. I already pay for Proton, I hate the idea of having to pay for syncing features when Proton Drive feels like it should be a solution.

Je voulais passer entièrement sous Proton, mais le manque de synchro avec les terminaux Android me force à renoncer tant qu'une solution probante n'est pas disponible. Quel dommage.

No use for the app if this isn't solved.

This is just needed - what ever would you need the app for if it can't sync files?

This is absolutely critical for my use case for this product and from the comments below quite a few others. I didn't even consider that this wouldn't be possible until I tried to use Proton Drive to sync my obsidian notes. Then once I had it all setup, how do I select that my vaults are stored in Proton Drive, and I can't. Please implement this. I need to store my notes securely but also share between my different devices, one of them being Android.

This is mandatory for a drive application to be able to work on the files, with synchronization...

Proton can't be a contender on Android, the most dominant mobile platform, until it supports things like the Storage Access Framework that users of Android use constantly

Please! Just pointless without it. I want 5TB of Proton drive space, and I want it to work with the Autosync app or similar. I need to back up all of my photos and video as I shoot them and edit them.
I want OUT of GOOGLE entirely. Please please implement this. Please please let us buy more storage!

A folder set by the user, Proton drive automatically encrypts the files and uploads them to Proton Drive
That would solve half of the problem for most people, the download to storage means having files not encrypted, so that part is a lot more difficult

It would be useful to have folder synchronization between multiple devices, similar to what Syncthing offers.

I'd like to be able to automatically upload my Signal and WhatsApp backup files to Proton Drive and if a sync-able local folder can do that, that'd be awesome!

I want to be able to automatically save&sync backups & files on proton by allowing access to said files and folders.

Thanks for implementing photo sync (or at least upload)! Implementing arbitrary folder sync must be easier now, right?

Absolutely critical feature, doesn't matter what it my take but it is the framework to any cloud drive service, and needs to be implemented asap for proton's competitiveness

Critical feature needed to replace my clunky self hosted Nextcloud server
