I switched from Google Apps for Business and exported my Photos there, but now i have those from my phone, which reach some 5 years back, and folder with the same contents plus 15 years, so there's duplicates, two locations with two different featuresets, and no idea how to get data in ONE SINGLE LOCATION to manage it there. Please get this one going.

I agree, this is so frustrating!
We should be able to set any folder to be visible in the photo view.
Also be able to download all pictures easily, like any other folder

Now please!

I really don't understand the approach taken here. Why doesn't it work like nextcloud, where one can auto-upload whatever folder and file types one wants from the app? How on earth are photos not files?

I would rather like to see an implementation where the files can be stored in the drive and it can be set (example for each directory) whether the images contained should also be displayed under the photos view.
There is currently no way to export the images again. This is an indispensable function for every photo lover. With the Proton Drive app, only files in the drive can be uploaded and downloaded efficiently. This functionality is not available for images.

The current version also does not have a function for albums. So we need a way to organize the photos. Which would be possible using folders in the Drive.

This is critical feature which seems to be missed in implementation, can we have this please.

It is amazing to me that this photo section is not just a view showing only photo files for easy access. Never in a 1000 years I would have thought that Photos and My files somehow are different types of storage.
We need a way to see photos in the photos section as files.

Since there is no option to bulk upload images from my desktop to the Photos area I thought I could sync a local folder to files and then "move" the images to the Photos area - not possible.

It seems like the only way to bulk upload files to the Photos area is currently through iOS or Android device.
