Show sync progress
The desktop app could show the sync progress (files synced/total files to be synced) in the Activity tab. That would make it easier to guess how long it might take for the whole syncing process to get completed.

Additionally it would be nice if the app showed "Encrypting" instead of syncing when it is in the process of encrypting a file before uploading it. Perhaps on a per-file view this can be shown per file that is being processed.
This takes a while for bigger files, and can get confusing when the app is using a full CPU core without any network activity.

Not only that, but there are times that the icon shows syncing, but all uploads completed and the icon previously demonstrated that syncing completed. AFAIK there is nothing else to do. So I don't know if it is stuck, if an error happened or whatever it is that syncing just won't complete.

I wish I could assign more than 3 votes as this is a critical piece of functionality for a drive app. Its absece, is akin to an email app with no knowledge of if an email has been sent.

Please show a list of the files being synced

Showing the upload speed (e.g., 1.2 MB/s) would also be nice.

It'd be really helpful if the Proton Drive for Windows (and subsequent applications for other operating systems) included some basic features. Top one, a status indicators for uploading files. For example, I just get a spinning dot when I am uploading a 100GB file. Is it 20%? Is it 65%? Who knows right now. I think any file uploads or downloads for that matter, should include indicators. Additionally, the ability to schedule uploads would be great. For example, only allow uploads between certain hours to accommodate uploads during off peak usage. A third enhancement would be an indicator to show whether a sync is adding a file or removing a file during synchronization.
