iOS upload photos in the background
It is my understanding the iOS photos will upload to Proton drive only if you open the Proton drive app, but it would be much better for photos to be backed up automatically, without needing to open the Proton Drive app.

Among other things, the absence of this feature keeps me from using the ProtonDrive as my main cloud storage. - Usability is the key besides security.

Uploading files to Proton Drive on iOS/iPadOS is a chore. Unlike other file management applications, Proton Drive fails to support background transfers.
Worse, Proton Drive requires the user to manually keep the screen awake during the entire transfer. Until you add support for proper background transfers, at least keep the screen awake on behalf of the user. I left a 4 GB upload running overnight and woke up to the progress stuck at the same place I had left it.

Let's add Proton Drive to the iOS share menu, like Proton Mail. And allow uploads to run in the background.

This would be so much more convient. I am just wondering how ente.io is doing it. There it syncs in the background...

Your understanding is correct, Apple doesn't allow this functionality for any app other than their own Photos.app as of now. Proton can and must request interoperability for this feature under the DMA here: https://developer.apple.com/contact/request/interoperability/
