Generate a default shared folder when creating a Proton Family account,
On creation of a Proton Family account, automatically generate a shared folder where all members of the group will have access. Allow the group admin to adjust the size of the shared space and to adjust read/write/delete permissions of each individual family member..
The current method of sharing via links and passwords is cumbersome.

Also for Proton Duo.

When creating a family (or business) account, it should be possible to create a secured shared folder for all members of the group.
Currently the "head of the family" can share one of their folders but this shows up in "shared with me". However this space doesn't seem to have the same functionalities as your own folders, in particular, it is not accessible on the iPhone app and more importantly it does appear in the finder extension.
Proton Mail (with your own domain) is a great way to set up secure email for a small organization. It would be great if Proton Drive could serve as the organization file system.

This is a critical missing feature preventing me from using photo backup.

A default shared folder is great, but multiple shared root folders is better. Once set up for sharing, they should automatically show up in the other family members Proton Drive (or other Proton users outside the family). Basically, make it work simply like iCloud sharing, only obviously better and more secure like Proton.

I agree with this completely. My family lives abroad and we want to have a shared folder for pictures, as we are archiving the family collection (generations of pictures!). I was really hoping that Proton Family could replace Google Docs this way.
Apart from that, maybe giving users in general the ability to grant access to other people (sorry to bring up the big evil G again but, yeah... just like G does, or in a similar way). I realize there's security features that Proton does much, much better, and with encryption and all these features aren't always as simple to implement as it seems to us laypeople/users. But it'd be a fantastic feature that would certainly help to retain me as a Family plan customer.

Proton Family admins should be able to toggle on/off three separate functions: shared calendar, shared folder, and shared contacts.
These items would be visible to everyone in the Proton Family.
I would benefit so much from this. Help me Obi-wan-protoni, you're my only hope.

I can only echo this requests. For families it is needed to have a default shared folder for all members in addition to each individual own directories.

Probably easier to have the possibility to share folders with other users and that the folder becomes shared as it is with dropbox or one drive - i can imagine this causes encryption issues, but thats an important functionnality
