How can we improve Proton Drive?

Save to external drive

Saving to external drive.

I have a mac mini with 256GB on it. After installing all the apps and documents that I use, more than half of it is used. Not to mention the caches, temp, backup files, etc.

I use Box and other online storage and they have options to where to store their files so I use an external drive to store my files synced with the online storage apps that I used.

I would love to see Proton Drive to have the option to store the files.

    I would like to switch to Proton, but I use much more cloud storage than I have space on my PC. Working with offline files is not an option for me.
    It would be a shame if this was not resolved.

    This is critically important for us. We're deploying base spec Mac Minis with external disks. Most other cloud storage providers are able to choose another location for synced storage now.

    I also don't have room on my MacBook hard drive so All files are on an external drive. This allows me to back up my external drive to a Time Machine. With Proton stuck on the MacBook's hard drive, I have to 'cloud-only' all of the files because there is no space. This stops me from being able to back up to Time Machine as there are no files on the internal hard drive and no files on the external hard drive. Dropbox, Google, OneDrive, Sync.com, all allow this. I like your product but at least explain why this is not an option...
