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

This should be a common functionality

For example, syncing Obsidian vaults via Proton Drive on Android. Bungus

Please! 🥺

Please ! I may understand that it doesn't exist yet on linux because it's a small userbase, even tho paying a subscription should give access this feature, but on Android ? in 2025 ? pleaaase

Literally the last required feature to ditch Google Drive.

Just as everyone before me has said - this should have been implemented already. Just putting in my comment & vote to add to the fire.

The lack of clear communication on whether this feature is planned in the future or not—especially since this feature has I assume been critically requested by a substantial number of people over the past 2 years—is very frustrating. I have been looking forward to transitioning my digital ecosystem to Proton's services, but this is the one fatal flaw that has me holding back waiting.

If we can please get any thoughts and updates, or whether or not it's feasible in the first place, that'd be appreciated.

I am legitimately shocked that this still isn't a thing in 2025. Why the heck do we not have the ability to select directories to be synced. At the very minimum. Realistically we should be able to back up the entire phone to this. this is a critical feature that is missing that is included in every other cloud drive out there.

My use case is syncing the plain text files between devices, which are then edited in a third-party program. Unfortunately, on Android it's impossible to open these files directly, since they are only accessible in the Proton Drive app.
This is a major limitation that doesn't allow to fully switch to Proton Drive and stop using other cloud drive services.

I'm agree with that!!! I don't understand why Proton developers didn't implement that!

Without this feature the android version of the drive is not usable for anything other than syncing photos and occasional singular files.

strange that it hasn't been introduced yet after all this time..! :o
it's absolutely critical.

I'm considering the switch to the Proton ecosystem, and on my Android, having to upload or download to/from Proton Drive to local storage and not having applications be able to save directly into Proton Drive just doesn't work for me - these are additional steps which I think shouldn't be necessary. Thanks

May need an APK package for the plugin.

Critical for full migration feasibility

Really important

When I started using proton, I had hoped I could get rid of my dependence on google & dropbox. Unfortunately, without this feature, I am still stuck with using dropbox. Since you've just merged the original post I upvoted "Proton Drive Android App — sync with a local folder" with this one, I'm hoping that this feature is on the roadmap. Could you give us an update on feasibility and timeline of this functionality?
