Organize pictures with folders or tags
So I just don't understand how we ended up without any way to organize the photo section of proton drive? I mean it's only organized by date essentially as close as I can tell.
The problem comes when comparing this to Google photos which I currently pay for and have significant data there, is they allow me to take the files and put keywords in the files under the details area.
Google also allows me to make folders of specific photos, so they can be organized. I'm just wondering if we can't put some folders in proton drive / photos just like you have folders on the drive / documents part of it right?

Albums are great, thanks for adding them. However, they should act more like folders. If I add photos to an album, I don't want them to still be visible in the main Photos view.

This is critical and very easy to implement.

It's sad to join proton to find out something as basic as this has been asked for a long time and not being delivered. I'm trying to migrate from Google but its been a pain **********. And even if I leave aside importing thousands of pictures what bothers me is now my recent pictures are being backed up to proton drive but in the future I wont be able to find them without wasting lots of time

Being able to organise photos in Proton Drive by e.g. folders which I could share with other family members, will be the difference between paying for Proton Drive and using only the free version.

Totally support this. The main issue with Google Photos was that you could never see which photos you hadn't saved into folders (or albums) yet.
Proton drive isn't as good at finding pictures as Google is, but I put up with that for the increased privacy. However, you have to provide other user friendly functionalities to make up for this! -

I love Proton Drive. But I wish we could organize our photos.
Right now I rely on iCloud to tag and organize photos to have them at hand when needed. However this feature would finally release me from Apple and it's services. -

And be able to move any pictures to an other Proton Drive folder!

I would love the ability to create folders in the photos section of Proton Drive.
Note that I'm NOT looking for the ability to create albums or tags, but to actually create folders within the photos section as a way of organizing my pictures.
This was a feature that I used in Dropbox to manage a large amount of photos, and I was frustrated that it wasn't available in Google photos. I'm hoping that you can add it to Proton Drive (along with a smoother docs experience) to make it the best backup offering out there.

Cannot agree more strongly. I have nearly 17,000 photos spanning more than the last 10 years of my family's lives currently in paid-for, SmugMug photo storage. Folder organization is indispensable, and I cannot begin to transfer my Smug pics over to Proton Drive photos until some organizing capability is built in -- which is a bummer since I'm paying for both Proton and Smug storage.

Ive been using Google Photos for years now and one of the nices features it has is being able to organize a bunch of photos that are all related to a specific event. You can also use folders for other things, for example I have a folder in google photos with receipts of produtcs (like computer parts) that are still in warranty for a couple of years.

Although the explanation is unnecessarily strident, the idea to Organize pictures with folders or tags would be a fine addition.
