Can't believe this was not included in winter/spring roadmap

a reason not to use proton...

Deal breaker. Looks like I may go back to other services. Proton Drive and Proton Pass too early. Not on par with competition.

Must have on Mac OS thanks

We definitely need this

Please🥺

Guys, please add Photos to the Desktop app. It makes no sense that it's not there. It should just be a Folder in the Files like every other cloud provider does...

I Just realized that Photos uploaded from the phone on the Proton Drive cloud are then not synced to my Proton Drive app in my Windows computer.
WHY??????
This design choice makes no sense and it's incredible that it's a missing feature.
Please implement it ASAP

Wow, i didnt even question the existence of a cross device sync and currently I'm pretty disappointed, because this is a core feature missing!

Please rank this up!!! I want to access my docs from the PC on the go on my phone and vice versa see my mobile phone's pictures on the PC (See them on a bigger display, share them, edit them...)

What is an enduser supposed to do with the Proton drive clients - do a cloud backup use the file in the browser/download the manually?

Je viens de m'abonner et je n'avais pas fait attention. Je ne peux pas passer complétement à Proton sans cette fonction. Fonction TRES IMPORTANTE !

We are waiting way too long for important Proton Drive features like specific folder sync, Linux Client and many more. It's really a mess and I don't want to wait anymore so unforuntately I will have to stop my membership and switch to another provider.

This is actually unacceptable. If I had known about this limitation I would not have signed up for the premium plan. To view my photos on a computer I have to resort to an alternative method of copying them from the phone. This "feature" request is almost 12 months old and this critical functionality has not been implemented, yet.

I am pretty sure that this is the most used function and the expectation is to view photos on the desktop, not only via web or on the phone.

This has to change quickly.

Really waiting for this one. Without having photo backups in desktop, Dropbox still have it's place. Superb feature for photographers that should be number one option when offering photo backups. And sync with original date when photo taken, even better if creating folders like year-mm-dd.

I just signed up for proton and uploaded my photos. I was disappointed that there isn't a linux drive client, so I can't really get my photos back out on my main computer. Now this post is basically telling me there isn't a mac client either. I can't imagine who's paying for and backing up hundreds of gigs of data in a proton drive without photos -- drive client without photo access seems kind of pointless? Without a drive client I may not be able to renew, though I've already pre-paid for a year.

I synced my photos to Proton Drive, but can only access them from the app or the browser. It would be really useful to see them in the Proton Drive Files to easy watch, sort, edit and delete them.

Yes this seems like a glaring omission.
I don't for the life of me understand why "Photo's" appears to be some kind of seperate storage and is not just a folder on your Proton drive.
It's not really a backup if I can't take my data back out...

This is the ONE feature I am missing in Drive (along with "sending a file to Proton Drive" on iOS) to really make the transition from Dropbox to Proton bearable...

I recently transitioned from OneDrive to Proton Drive and have been extremely happy with the experience so far. I now rely on Proton Drive more than my locally hosted NextCloud instance, primarily due to long-term cost efficiency and the mitigation of hardware failure risks.

That said, I do have a suggestion for improvement: it would be great to see better photo sync features across platforms. Currently, photos backed up from an Android phone don’t sync with the Windows app. And the photo folder is not shown on the windows drive app. Leading to duplicates and insuficient storage managment

Yes please this is a gap that needs to be filled. I was using OneDrive before trying Proton and the OneDrive desktop app presents photo access along with everything else.

This should be a #1 priority.
