Please fix this. It sucks for Windows users (but doesn't seem to be an issue on Mac!)

Please let us just use the root folder ex \Proton without the "My files" folder inside it.

Having a silly path like this not only takes up space, it's a privacy issue because anyone who receives a drawing from us knows that we use Proton for backup.

(We place a filename and path at the bottom of every drawing we print. This allows us to find it, sometimes years later when everything about it is forgotten)

I have simplified it as much as I can to c:\d\My Files\ but please can we get rid of the My Files folder - it's a completely redundant part of the path. Or at least allow us to rename it.

The "My files" bothers me as it seems both redundant and requires me to handle spaces in scripts

Why does a folder called “My file” pollute the Proton Drive folder on Windows ?
We're obliged to go through “My file” to create or integrate our files, and it's impossible to create a new one outside this folder.
Couldn't we have a simpler path like Microsoft's OneDrive or Apple's iCloud ?
Couldn't we have a direct path to ProtonDrive without having to go through the “My file” folder?

This would be a nice QOL change

"My Files" folder is a nightmare, please let us define it how we want.

Great change, i really would prefer this.

When using Dropbox, OneDrive, GoogleDrive on Windows, you can directly access your files by clicking on the directory in the navigation pane of Windows Explorer. With Proton Drive, all your files are nested under a "My Files" subfolder. It makes accessing the files a little bit more tedious.
This seems to be specific to the Windows client, the Web and Android clients don't have this.
I suggest to change the shortcut in the Navigation Pane of Windows Explorer, so that it points directly to "%DIR%\ProtonDrive\My files"

This is already possible. You can define a shorter path during installation or go to Settings > Your Proton Drive Folder and change it. This won't however avoid the root "My files" folder being created which isn't convenient for coding related tasks due to the space in the path.

Let us define our own root path without any spaces 🙏
