Automatically backed-up photos should just be available as files in the drive. I am not switching to proton drive until this is a thing, because I want my actual files.

Please, this is a very core functionality for sync and photo management.

Would be nice to access photos via Proton Drive app, i.e. directly & not only via browser interface.

This is a must. Please also inculde this in a new build for the linux platform and the windows app. Its a real hassle to download a photo from the web drive, when its already in my account on Drive and should be synced wtth the pc automaticly. Its not only for conveinience, but its also a good to be able to backup the phone gallery to my local pc this way.

It is crazy that I have to pay for a proton drive account that cannot do what free accounts at google CAN do.

Would definitely be super helpful. I'm currently manually importing the backup thing to have photos on my PC too.

Crazy this isn't implemented...

When I back up photos to ProtonDrive, they don't sync with the desktop app, so I can't use or view them locally on my PC or Mac.

I would like to be able to synchronize the photos I have backed up to Photo with my PC or Mac folders. It's a pain to have to move and copy them manually.

I have to view them online every time, and it takes a long time for thumbnails to display, which is very inconvenient. Thumbnails are cached to a certain extent, but even those cached thumbnails are slow to display.

When is Proton going to implement this critical feature? Please let us know. This issue has already 1.275 votes and loads of reactions. Please.... !

+1 for finding it unfathomable that this feature isn't already in place. I am very dissapointed and would urge proton to implement it asap!

We need to ahve theses Photos section be accessible in Desktop Proton Drive App. ( similar to an folder ready to eb synced) Also it shd have theses storage controls for albums & folders of diff kind ( keep only online, keep on lcoal always, on demand & auto keep only in online) theses features for theses Photos section woud really add vlaue

Just switched to proton. This feature is a must. If i had known this was not a available feature i wouldn't have switched.

I cannot understand how it is possible not to have this feature already available!!!
I migrating from Dropbox and I can't believe the lack of this feature is a thing

It's a must have for so many reasons. And don't forget Mac/Linux again.
The Drive keeps duplicating some photos on import, and this would allow us to at least manually deduplicate.

I cannot understand how it is possible not to have this feature already available.

This must be your absolute priority. Google Drive and Microsoft Onedrive can do this. I want to get away from these applications. This is a real shortcoming that you should fix very quickly.

Photo sync only works for me when I have access to my photos on my laptop. I do not edit on a mobile.

As I can mount protondrive to my Mac, I'd love to be able to run a de-dedupe app or open photos in other applications.

This lack of this feature is really a deal breaker for me.

Ideally it would be possible for Albums to be represented as separate sub-directories on Windows.
