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.

If Proton encourages DE-GOOGLING then It needs to position every service at the forefront when android user makes api call to a compatible service, but at the same time needs to be secure enough so that its not vulnerable to Googles Storage Frameworks and Policies.
Ive been with Proton for a longtime and we all want this and that feature that makes everything easier. Its because of EASIER that we fell for Googles trap.
There is a reason why Proton does what they do in the way they do it.The fact that they havent spoken against this request means that they havent shunned it. They're probably working on the PROTON WAY to do it.
Proton is about security and Privacy. So you dont want it popping up everywhere.
If I had my way every sevice would hidden and only accessable via comman line.
Thats the way we need to treat it.Yes promote the product because this is the best company in the world. But be careful who sees what kind of Power you hold in your hands, on the desktop or on the web. I speak from 1st hand experience.
I think its a good idea, but sometimes the best things in life are a well kept secret.

i never would have expected that a cloud storage app doesn't have the ability open a file in a app and then save changes afterwards without jumping thru hoops to actually upload it.
or to have a folder or file accessible for other apps on device and update changes online when they happen. -

I would like to add my voice to this.
Having Proton Drive being able to keep certain files available for other apps like Obsidian is a must have and would solidify using the Proton suite

Bad surprise for drive, android application almost un-usable without this feature. Lunix app missing for drive!

This is a necessary feature for drive as a mobile application. As state by many others the app is otherwise pretty much pointless.

I'll pay for additional storage if this get's implemented. Having direct file access would open up a bunch of functionality that your competitors (DropBox, One Drive, etc) have not figured out yet!

The lack of this feature is completely preventing me from using proton drive on my phone.
I hope its in the spring road map

This feature is one I had expected so much to already be available that I didn't even check before upgrading my subscription. I need some way to actually sync between the Android filesytem and Proton Drive. Ideally I'd be able to use both the device and generic drive for this.

Currently I cannot view or edit any of my spreadsheets or documents in proton drive in my android.
It's completely breaking my work flow, having an integration with android, or at least a "open with..." option to edit would be a game changer -

Currently impossible to actually use the files that get synced to Android from my PC since none of the apps can actually see the files like they can other local storage.

One of the most important rules of good apps is: let the user decide. Drive is useless on Android right now if I cannot sync MY files

Absolutely, presently it's possible to open files from proton drive but not save them back to it... This makes it basically useless as a file manager on Android, unless you're happy using the proton apps for editing, but personally I need something separate.

Would be greate to make Proton Drive usable with Obsidian..!

Heeey, it would be much easier with a native Obsidian vaults + Proton Drive sync, neither 3-rd part sync apps we use now..

We need this to be able to synch Obsidian vaults with Proton Drive.
