I'm not paying for ProtonDrive just because of this feature.

We are nearly 2 years into this request. If I am paying for 1/2TB of cloud storage, it seems pretty proper to have a search bar. Please push this up the priority list.

Its been TWO YEARS people, come on!!! This is the MOST CRITICAL feature I NEED from Proton. Not being able to search for files in the mobile app (android) has made it useless for me. If I am opening the Drive app on my phone instead of a computer is to quickly look for a file I need at that moment. This has been a huge turn-off as a paying user. Please Please Please implement this ASAP!

lack of full text search is why I have left proton drive and still stick with Google drive.
Happy message to the developers: I have read several times comments that this would be not possible or difficult to do because of encryption. I can happily tell you, that Evernote has full encryption and has content search, including OCR search. They did it, it can be done ! :-)

Why is there a search button on proton mail on android mobile app but not on proton drive on android mobile app? Both are encrypted files. Whats the point?

It would be really convinient to have this feature. I have made the choice to migrate from google drive for obvious reasons. But please, a simple search feature on a drive is essential to me.

Please add a search to the mobile Apps - its unbelievable that this basic feature still is not in place!

YES PLEASE!!! It's very important to be able to search in Drive APP (not just online version). I have +1000 docs in there and it's a pain in the as* to do manual search. Thanks!

I agree with the commentators sentiments, this is a very basic set of crucial feature. It isn't 1993 where we have only a handful of files on our drives.

If I'd known I couldn't search my files on mobile or search email content on mobile without using my browser in a desktop mode, I wouldn't have switched to Proton. As much as I like other aspects of Proton's products this is a disaster for how I expect to use products in those classes and I'm looking at other options.

This is priority #1

This is absolutely critical!

Definitely needed !

How is it even possible in first place for a drive application to not have search by files? 🤔

Totally agree David - I finally took considerable time to migrate all my files from MS OneDrive to Proton Drive (over 25,000 files) and just discovered the same thing. No search for Android!! Who knew!
Of course I expected this to be included. It's so basic I don't have words. Ugh, another example of terrible Proton short-sightedness.

This is nuts. I just assumed search was in the mobile app and moved from OneDrive. Then yesterday, I was out and went to find something I needed, but then I realized the search wasn't there!

I need this. I accumulate a lot of documents, meeting minutes, pitch decks, slide decks, and after action reports, and the only way to quickly sift through it all on mobile (especially when I'm always out and about) is to search for part of the file name.:) Tresorit has this feature, why not Proton? :)

I dont get it a cloud storge service and you cant search ??? I dont use drive because of this. 😵

The lack of a search bar just makes a mobile app like this one feel more empty and feature-deficient. Hopefully, they add this at some point. :)

Although I am very happy with all the recent updates with the Proton suite overall, thank you Proton team!

Given storage space and potential for hundreds of files, this is a *m*u*s*t.
